Week 37 - Christmas

Great holiday week with lots of photo opportunities, however, I left the camera in the during much of the holiday festivities...

Karen got me a fantastic Christmas gift:  a Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8 lens.  A majority of the pictures this week were taken with this amazing lens.

Here's this week's seven photos:

Day 259/December 31 - Favorite Ornament

Merry Christmas!

Week 35 - Christmas and Tebowing, Go figure!

Lots of holiday photos this week.  I'm still loving colorful shots, and holiday decorations and lights are a welcome change from the many flower photos I've taken during this project.

The week ended with a bit of Tebow-mania hitting the E-Streeters Running Club.  Looking forward to the Patriots crushing the Broncos tomorrow.

Here's this week's 7:

Week 34 - Christmas in Edgartown

The Christmas season has begun - we've hung our wreath and bought our Christmas tree.  I expect most of December's photos to be holiday related, we'll see.  The end of this week we made it back to Martha's Vineyard for Christmas in Edgartown, which means a parade (best one yet this year!) and spending money in the local shops.

Here's this week's lucky 7:

Day 238/December 10 -  Santa Arrives in Edgartown

Day 237/December 9 -  Festive Edgartown Town Hall

Day 236/December 8 -  Dawn over the Pond

Day 235/December 7 -  The Chicken Shack

Day 234/December 6 -  The Soft Glow of Candles

Day 233/December 5 -  Under the Petals

Day 232/December 4 -  Holiday Wreaths

Week 33 - A Mix.

This was an interesting week for me with regards to photos.  For some reason, each day was a challenge to create a decent photo.  One day I saw a great dawn, but by the time I got in position, it was over (seconds count!).   There were several rejected shots/situations that I'm going to revisit in future weeks.  As the week came to a close, however, I found myself repeatedly looking at my selections and enjoying what I saw.  Bottom line, I really like my selected photos this week.  It's an eclectic mix, I hope you enjoy them too (but if you don't, there's always next week).

Here they are:

Day 231/December 3 -  Purple Flower

Day 230/December 2 - Swoosh!

Day 229/December 1 - Nelson's Candy House

Day 228/November 30 - Lake House at Dawn

Day 227/November 29 - Designer Shoe High Rise

Day 226/November 28 - Chips!

Day 225/November 27 - Meadowbrook Farm
