Love the coot, Levina! I cannot get anywhere close to them around here as they scoot off very quickly. Depending on how the weather is this weekend, I may scoot up to the lake as I saw in the paper there are several pair of eagles wintering there as well as the regulars: a flock of white pelicans.

Eagles and white Pelicans! Much better than a coot.
Coots are skittish indeed, Maureen. Takes patience and time to be able to get close to them. But this one came very close indeed.

LOL. Yes, I thought it was time for a radical change!

You've met the challenge!
I kept thinking that it was so familiar, but yet I could not place it.

I have been busy today! Tristan helped me play with my photo set-up that I am using on my baby shoots the next 2 weeks ( I have decided to trade out the background for red)

I love that wreath Maureen - I have one (two actually - long story) very similar but I didn't make it!

Great looking wreath, Maureen!

Love that pic of Tristan. He's getting so big! Not a baby anymore but moving into the toddler phase. He's adorable.

Beautiful wreath Maureen and Tristan is too cute!!

Tree decorated & all my other holiday decorations are out & now all I have to do is wrap gifts. I have a few things still to purchase but I have half days empty tomorrow & Friday so I am going to go for it.

What do you do for gift giving? This year all the adults (my kids & their spouses & us) picked a name & we set a $50 limit. Of course I buy for all 3 grandsons but Skip & I already pre-paid for 10 boat trips out with the whales in a few weeks so that is our gift to each other. I am trying to get out from buying for all my adult kids but I will buy pajamas, a jacket & toy for 2 girls & 2 boys instead.

Don't mention Christmas shopping yet Maureen - I have bought some random bits and pieces but have yet to decide who I shall give what!!! probably not the best way of doing it!

Christmas shopping???? Ya mean you're supposed to do that BEFORE the 24th????
Precious little pup there Penel!!
Maureen -Tristan sure is getting big! Such a cutie! And keep me posted on your possible trip east. I found it's about a 6 1/2 hour drive from here to Pittsfield. I've never been to the Birkshires! Would be a great excuse to get there!

Christmas shopping for me is all done on the iPad. Prime shipping.

In my family the adults all enjoy the children's gifts. Adults don't get gifts and I for one don't miss the shopping for my adult nieces and nephews. They play with the kids toys and it is chaos!
... And so much fun!

I've been watching tv all night. Everything was about him. A truly great man.

Beautiful sunrise and beautiful doggies, Penel!

Your 6 dogs made me chuckle. Best of luck!!
