This Christmas

I wish you all

I'll be back in 2010!!!

Just look at what I received...

From my photoswap partner Marisa!

Aren't these photos wonderful?

It's almost as if Marisa knew how much I love

the silhouettes of bare winter trees!

But I hadn't told her that before...

The last few days I've been living in a winter wonderland

Snow and ice.

Freezing cold.

Hats and gloves and scarves and red noses.

Taking photos from inside the frozen car.

We had to wait a while for it to thaw.

Cards.

Candles and electric heaters.

Hot water bottles.

Miracle of 34th Street.

Parcels. Presents. Sellotape. Stamps.

Christmassy google.

Well wishes from strangers.

Counting down...

to seeing family, to hugs and laughter

to flying to Holland!!

I think Christmas is almost here!!
Can you feel it?

One thing I hate about the winter is

It's cold.

It's dark.

Like night time.

Bleurgh.

But damn you can get some cool photos.

I have some news...

I realise that I've been m.i.a lately.

But I've had good reason.

I've been busy

Preparing

Practising

Breathing deeply

Thinking positively

and have been offered a

Because we all need something to laugh about on a Monday...
