It doesn’t snow where I live, but it does where I grew up. When I’m home for the holidays I get a chance to appreciate all the cold and snow! Merry Christmas!

My blog didn’t have enough cute dogs, and I know people love cute dogs, so this should really send my popularity through the roof! We were lucky enough to spend a few days dog sitting Dexter, so of course I had to get him to pose by the tree.

Last light of the day, and all is calm.

The First Family of California really knows how to decorate for the holidays!

In my opinion palm trees look just as festive with lights as a Christmas tree does!

If you have been nice or even if you have been a little bit naughty, I wish you all the best in the New Year!

Happy New Year! This picture seemed like a great one for New Year’s Day, just as today is the first day of a new year, this was a great sunrise on a new day. This particular lighthouse is in Algoma Wisconsin and is something that I was vary familiar with growing up, often hearing the fog horn from my house. The ice on the shore was a pretty good indication of temperature I got to enjoy while I was waiting for the sun to rise!

I had a great Christmas and hope you did too. This ornament seemed to be saying to me, so long, it has been a great year and I’ll see you again soon!

I braved the cold and ice to take this photo. I look forward to a Christmas that looks a little more like this photograph with more snow and ice than I currently have!

The lighthouse in Algoma Wisconsin. This was a familiar sight for me growing up, and is something I now associate with going home for the holidays. This was a very cold sunrise, but the steam coming off the lake with the lighthouse is striking.
