Photos of the Week: December 21

Posted in Photo of the weekTagged

”Some people feel the rain. Others just get wet.” – Roger Miller

Featured photo is one I took of a heron standing one-legged in a steady rain. Anything looking that peaceful seemed worth stopping the car to take a picture of.

Playing ball. Miss O had a busy choir performance schedule so Mr. D and I spent a good amount of time mixing up our sports metaphors (like the football jersey, baseball mitt, and tennis ball in the second photo)

Ice skating and meeting Buoy, the Kraken mascot.

Using leverage in all sorts of ways!

Spending some time with Santa (and my brother and his wife). I think Mr. D wore his Santa hat all week in preparation.

One of Mr. D’s holiday creations on top of a beautiful hand-crafted hot chocolate mug he received as a gift. A lot of heart in those gifts. 🙂

Happy Holidays, Everyone! Here’s to a great 2025! I’ll see you in the new year!

  6. Have a very happy family Christmas dinner, Wynne. Dare I wish for you to have a relaxing one?! 😏 I love your sign of the week, both the giving and the heart are so important. 🎄💕

  10. Your daily celebration of life with your two little blessings is a welcomed reminder of how abundantly blessed we all are in the “… alot of heart in those gifts…” we experience each day through the grace of Him who gave us the greatest gift of all some 2,000 years ago.

    MERRY CHRISTMAS Wynne!

  13. I love all your photos. We’ve had a heron in our back yard for the past few days, but it’s been here too early to snap a photo (not enough light). Your family photo is wonderful! And you guys get to skate – nice! I miss living in a place where local ponds freeze over and all the neighborhood kids learn to skate pushing a kitchen chair around on the ice. Have a very merry Christmas!

      Merry Christmas to you! So grateful to have connected with you!

  15. such happy photos; I love the heron standing serenely on one leg in the rain: wish I could do that 🙂 love the ice skating rink pics too; my ex ran and owned a few rinks in her time; spent a lot of time there, and became a passable skater 🙂 have a happy Xmas season, Wynne 🙂

    1. I wish I could stand on one leg in the rain too, John! I think ice skating is a muscle memory that you don’t forget. Merry Christmas to you. Glad we connected on WP this year. Looking forward to more of your brilliance in 2025!

    1. Thank you, Edward! Love hearing that about his form – I’m happy to play ball but don’t have any expertise to share with him!

      Merry Christmas to you and your family! I’m grateful we connected on WP this year. Wishing you all the best in 2025!
