It was so wide spread I shot two images and stitched them together. http://slackwater.my-expressions.com/archives/5936_1076484131/341151 donwiley2 2009-12-26T08:01:16Z 2009-12-26T08:01:16Z <a href="http://slackwater.my-expressions.com/archives/5936_1076484131/341151" style="border:0;"><img src="http://my-expressions.com/up_media/4448/pblog/5904/1261788277.jpg"/></a><br> An unknown waterfall believe to be in the Canadian Rockies of Alberta.

Feverish opening of packages occurs very early in the day when I visit my friends where Matt and Pete get at the gifts. Paper flies left and right while Henry stuffs a garbage bag with the debris. Paula takes pictures of the kids with gifts...and I sit and sip coffee - a perfect Christmas morning! http://slackwater.my-expressions.com/archives/5936_1076484131/341085 donwiley2 2009-12-24T08:01:03Z 2009-12-24T08:01:03Z <a href="http://slackwater.my-expressions.com/archives/5936_1076484131/341085" style="border:0;"><img src="http://my-expressions.com/up_media/4448/pblog/5904/1261612167.jpg"/></a><br> A night shot into the depths of my outside Christmas tree following a snowstorm. The more I cropped and processed this image, the more it reminded me of a Hubble nebula. Anyway, I liked the patterns and color of the image and thought it appropriate for this holiday season. http://slackwater.my-expressions.com/archives/5936_1076484131/341051 donwiley2 2009-12-23T08:01:04Z 2009-12-23T08:01:04Z <a href="http://slackwater.my-expressions.com/archives/5936_1076484131/341051" style="border:0;"><img src="http://my-expressions.com/up_media/4448/pblog/5904/1261529606.jpg"/></a><br> Staying with the Christmas theme, here is a huge Christmas ornament I shot in a Nut Factory store. Nut Factory stores have nuts, candies, and other goodies you think you need! From the size of the lighted tree lights you can judge the size of this ball. I liked it for its colorful design and how it failed to capture me taking this picture. http://slackwater.my-expressions.com/archives/5936_1076484131/341029 donwiley2 2009-12-22T08:01:03Z 2009-12-22T08:01:03Z <a href="http://slackwater.my-expressions.com/archives/5936_1076484131/341029" style="border:0;"><img src="http://my-expressions.com/up_media/4448/pblog/5904/1261459802.jpg"/></a><br> Every year these owners prepare their house with a different and always elaborate lighting scheme. Last year we had an unusual amount of snow which resulted in the scene you see. The exposure is rather noisy, but I like the bright display and its snow laden look. http://slackwater.my-expressions.com/archives/5936_1076484131/340988 donwiley2 2009-12-21T08:01:07Z 2009-12-21T08:01:07Z <a href="http://slackwater.my-expressions.com/archives/5936_1076484131/340988" style="border:0;"><img src="http://my-expressions.com/up_media/4448/pblog/5904/1261369744.jpg"/></a><br> For us adults Christmas arrives a little bit faster every year, but for children the time is agonizingly slow. Pete, the youngest in my friend's family, struck this pose several years ago. I have always liked the shot for its mood. http://slackwater.my-expressions.com/archives/5936_1076484131/340949 donwiley2 2009-12-20T08:01:21Z 2009-12-20T08:01:21Z <a href="http://slackwater.my-expressions.com/archives/5936_1076484131/340949" style="border:0;"><img src="http://my-expressions.com/up_media/4448/pblog/5904/1261265781.jpg"/></a><br> This my daughter getting into her car following one of our morning coffee visits. I liked this shot for the impressionistic look the snow has given the image. This is a shot from last winter. So far this year, it has snowed once and now is raining daily. Looks like we'll have a brown Christmas. http://slackwater.my-expressions.com/archives/5936_1076484131/340926 donwiley2 2009-12-19T08:01:04Z 2009-12-19T08:01:04Z <a href="http://slackwater.my-expressions.com/archives/5936_1076484131/340926" style="border:0;"><img src="http://my-expressions.com/up_media/4448/pblog/5904/1261194453.jpg"/></a><br> A Christmas decoration in a local floral shop which has dozens of trees decorated. http://slackwater.my-expressions.com/archives/5936_1076484131/340893 donwiley2 2009-12-17T20:22:31Z 2009-12-17T20:22:31Z <a href="http://slackwater.my-expressions.com/archives/5936_1076484131/340893" style="border:0;"><img src="http://my-expressions.com/up_media/4448/pblog/5904/1261110154.jpg"/></a><br> Not a drive by, but a walk by shot of Santa providing an opportunity to have a child's picture taken at the downtown mall. I was on the escalator at about the third floor... moving along when I shot this...it's none too steady! :-)
