My initial reaction was: So soon? But that was selfish. On further reflection I applaud your decision and recognize that it’s one of the reasons I so appreciate your blog so much. Merry Christmas and happy holidays to you and yours. Enjoy the season!

All the best. Ottawa and Austin will have something in common this Christmas, no snow on the ground.

Vacation progresses. Much fun and new toys. Details in Jan.

Kirk, Photographer/Writer said...

Robert, weather in Austin is so unpredictable we may end up with a blizzard or a new high temperature record. No one really knows...

Self gifting as a talent. Loving the Voigtlander VM 75mm f1.9. A great lens for fun shoots.
