I’ve never been able to take good photos of our Christmas trees and this year is no exception. It’s right in front of the backyard which means there’s lots of backlight and my 50mm doesn’t work well since it’s a huge tree so I changed to the wide angle today and this is the best I could do. It’s a bit crooked but I love it none the less. It smells magical.
I bought Nathaniel some puffs the other day and he’s enjoying them quite a bit. He likes playing with them as much as eating them. Take note of how many are stuck to his arms.
Lest you think it’s just the arms, several on the floor too.
He does like eating them, too. When I undressed him tonight to put him down, I noticed at least five stuck inside his clothes, maybe he was saving them for later.
I finished all my layouts and David’s book with the AMM kit from this month. I am still reading my book for the week but I might be able to finish tonight, if not, definitely tomorrow.
I’ve noticed a spike in comments lately, I am not sure where you’re coming from, but that you so much, knowing that people are here, reading, and communicating back really makes my heart happy.
Five days to my Big Picture Scrapbooking class on reclaiming my time. I am officially excited.
ahem i meant THANK YOU so much!
I just had to tell you that when the image of your tree popped onto the screen, just the top half of the image – I’m on a laptop – it made me so happy – the perfect green with that backlight and your gorgeous blue & water banner above. And thank you for your kind words on the Thought Threads thread – lol! Anyway, I LOVE this tree and this picture and it made me light a Frasier fir candle so I could get a bit of Christmas scent in MY house.
🙂
Enjoying your photos as always. I am sitting here – looking through the photos from our tree cutting earlier today.
Lets just say that we had a different kind of weather:)
Looking forward to Thursday and your new class.

I’ve actually never been in the same room as a real christmas tree, so I don’t even have the slightest idea what it would smell like! So thanks for sharing this picture.. I think it makes me feel warm just to look at it 🙂
Btw, here’s some news… I might be travelling to US for work in January 🙂 I’ve never been out of India before, and this has been such a dream for me for many years, so I’m very kicked about it. I wanted to thank you. because reading about how your life became so much richer by going to US has really inspired me at times. Thanks for always making me feel like any dream is possible 🙂
I love how you love December! Why not get the tree now and enjoy it the whole month?! We will get ours next weekend and I’m so excited! Great shots of the tree yard. That is one big tree you picked!
I think your photography is wonderful, and thank you for the tree date freebies–they will come in handy during the Christmas season. Thought you would like to know that I found your blog through one of the regulars on the Jessica Sprague forum.
