Winter Holidays

Another holiday season has come and gone.

The jet lag has passed. (Thank goodness!)

School is back in full swing and we are already counting down to our February vacations.

But, first, I want to share a few highlights of my time at home.

There's some beautiful sights to be seen as you fly over the Alps and out of Italy.

Our Christmas tree, Ruby and Elf on tv...a good night all together.

A few rounds of Sequence were played.

My brother in law, Neal, finally sported his calf warmers that I bought him in Germany!

Some great friends passed through Savannah on their way home from Disney World. 

I love these ladies!
Gettin' our photo pose on!

Bubble lights have been adorning trees in our family for as long as I can remember. My Aunt Joni always had them on her tree when I was growing up. These are at the end of their life so our tree may be without bubble lights for awhile. 

With a new camera lens in hand (a nice 18-200 mm zoom lens) I headed out in downtown Savannah.

Savannah's square and lovely live oak trees

I like to photograph people, but haven't worked up the nerve yet to approach them and ask permission
when you're directly in their face. So, you get a few shots from behind!

Across the Savannah River to the Westin and their dock

the fountain in Forsyth Park

It was a nice enough day (in January!) to relax in the park. 

Again, shooting from behind!

Cool sunrises and sunsets are frequent when you make transatlantic flights!

It's always so nice to spend time with my family and friends over the holidays. I'm blessed to be able to fly home every year. As always, thanks to everyone who made time in their busy holiday schedule to get together and include me in their lives.

The next time I'm home Melissa is getting married!

How is this possible? (I can't possibly be old enough to have a niece getting married!)

What were the highlights of your holidays?
