Michael it wasn't the burger but the salad that got me hungry. Just finished eating one! And here I didn't even know I was hungry.

I love these holiday threads.

Here's one from my new compact, the little guy on the right:

last evening a group of touring kayakers along with a very brave young woman
on a stand up paddleboard put on a minimalist, but quite fetching holiday
parade along the Deschutes River in Bend, Oregon

Wonderful holiday shots, Jim. I've never seen holiday kayakers before. Very cool!

Just playing with my new toy, taking a picture of my son with his:

Fin, funny about your shot, as I scrolled down to view it I thought, gee this reminds me of my old Pentax M 50... then I see it's a Tak! :happy-084:

It's an amazing shot.

Look at Santa, he's so calm and collected.

Boy you all are so far ahead of me for the holidays. This year I'm way behind the eight ball. I am enjoying your pictures, however.

Well, what a lovely bunch of shots. I envy you lot your northern wintry Christmastime, we will either swelter in 38+ temps, or it will rain as if in monsoon. Might see about getting out next week (after car fixing, we are currently stranded at home) and shoot some of the festive lights around town.

River of Lights at Albuquerque Biopark

Since I don't seem to be able to upload any pictures to Serious Compacts anymore, bumping into a 10MB limit (I thought it was 100MB), here is a link to the folder on MediaFire that contains the pictures I took of the delightful "River Walk" here in Albuquerque, a holiday light show with a slightly different perspective. I'm only about a third of the way through the many shots I made, so there will be more added over the next several days.

My Files

and one as a teaser:

Larry, you can embed some of them here using Mediafire as a host. Click on share, and then I think it's the bottom option for embed in forums and cut and paste the code.

 

[Lawrence A.]

Thanks Luke. You're a genius!!

No, I just play one on TV
