My neighborhood has a history of getting into the spirit of Halloween. Some houses even have decorations that take over the entire front yard. I particularly like the No Mercy Cemetery with its spooky skeleton standing guard!

Getting ready for my annual trip to the Midwest reminded me I had shots from last year to share. I hope that I’m ready for the cold!

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.

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!

I’ve driven through the tunnel on Yerba Buena Island many times, but never stopped to check it out. When I finally did, I learned there really isn’t that much there except a lot of “No Trespassing” signs and abandoned buildings. I did find this vantage point in a precarious spot overlooking the Bay Bridge. It wasn’t easy to hang out there very long, but the view of San Francisco was worth it!

Merry Christmas from my homeland of Wisconsin!

I like cities, I like buildings, but I liked this particular street a little bit more at an angle.

I found the Majestic in Boston while out on a walk one night. The illuminated windows caught my attention and were all the convincing I needed to take this photo.

The Charles River surrounded by the city of Boston. I had a hell of a time getting this shot. There was a small tripod involved, lots of lights behind me reflecting on the glass, and oh yeah, tons of crazy kids jumping around so much the whole building was shaking. I was able to eek this out, and I don’t think it is half bad!
