So I'm starting to think about this year's holiday card. Here are some recent pics of our property. Any preferences?

I particularly like the first and third pictures for X-mas cards.

Nice backsplash and wreath.

26579. judithathome - 11/7/2011 10:34:05 PM

First one for me!

26580. thoughtful - 11/8/2011 2:55:14 PM

Thanks guys...hubby liked the first one best as well. I like them all, but the one with the trees arching under the weight of the snow calls to me...maybe because it'll be easier to write the haiku....



Then this one I like because it is so unusual to see the vivid leaves against the deep snow...though I should've moved the maple leaf...too outstanding amongst the ginkos.


Then in keeping with my old sunrise theme, there's this one which is also nice



Perhaps now I'm leaning toward the last one...I do so like the fact that the winter solstice marks the return of the sun. The true meaning of Christmas for me.

I like this last one with the blushing sky....almost apologetic for being beautifully draped amongst the naked trees.

26582. iiibbb - 11/8/2011 11:14:30 PM

That last picture rocks.

26583. thoughtful - 11/9/2011 3:21:41 PM

Thanks J & I, and nice imagery with the blushing apology....perhaps for waking us up so early! Or perhaps for catching us still naked in bed!

I'm always amazed at shots like that one as the colors are so vivid as to look fake, but they're not.

Did you know that our ability to perceive colors is affected by our ability to name them? People see color with their tongue

Lovely pictures.

26585. thoughtful - 11/10/2011 4:48:26 AM

Thanks ElliottRW...no suggestion for which to use for a holiday card?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY WASCALLY WABBIT!!!!!

26587. arkymalarky - 11/11/2011 6:57:27 PM

Elliott!! Great to see you!

26588. wabbit - 11/12/2011 2:16:38 AM

T'ful, beautiful photos! Any of them would be wonderful holiday cards, though I admit to being partial to the sunrise series. Good to know you folks survived the October surprise!

Good luck iiibbb, and it sounds like the child is thriving!

Hey ElliottRW!!

Thanks Arky - is this the coolest birthdate or what? I found a pair of corduroy trousers to wear for the day!

26589. arkymalarky - 11/12/2011 4:57:42 AM

Yay!

26590. Ms. No - 11/12/2011 5:47:47 AM

Happy! Happy!

26591. thoughtful - 11/12/2011 3:51:45 PM

Happy bday wabbit!

26592. thoughtful - 11/12/2011 4:52:40 PM

The sunrise it is and the order has been placed with this haiku inside

The Sun's dawning sky
Heralds a season of light
The promise of Spring

Przyjemny!

26593. wabbit - 11/12/2011 10:26:54 PM

Love the haiku!

26594. judithathome - 11/13/2011 9:10:57 PM

Sorry I missed the birthday...I should have remembered it!

26595. arkymalarky - 11/20/2011 9:47:21 PM

Made National Board. So glad that's behind me!

26596. Ms. No - 11/21/2011 1:55:56 AM

Congrats, Arky! I know how hard you worked for it!
