Merry Christmas!!!

Too all out there, Merry Christmas and a happy new year.

Christmas Time is Here....

Christmas time is here….Happiness and Cheer. December came and right on it’s heels was the festive season. It’s one of my favorite times of the year, I’m very festive in general, but there is just so much you can do with Christmas and it lasts so long! Last year I tried doing a little video to show the building of my tree through the use of several successive images, and of course I attempted it again. I utilized the suggestion of using a tripod (last year it was somewhat ad-hoc so that thought didn’t’ cross my mind) and added a bit more flare at the end by creating a pseudo Christmas card of sorts.

Merry .... and a Happy New....

Just wishing everyone a very merry christmas and a HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

The most wonderful time of the year…..

My favorite time of the year is among us…Christmas.  There is just something in the air this time of year, perhaps it’s just the crisp cool air of winter arriving mixed with that wood-burning scent of fireplaces roaring.  Thus far it’s been relatively warm here in Toronto. A positive from this is that it makes it far easier to take a few snaps of local neighborhood houses decorated with a festive them.  Some places do go far and beyond the traditional light setup and really step up to the challenge and also allow you to donate to a worthy cause.  In the past, my favorite were the Lindsey Lights which was also timed to music, however this year they have taken a year off so I’m out looking for this years replacement house.  I was finally able to head out tonight to check out some houses and came across this one in the Bathurst and Drury area of Toronto.  I was most amazed by the life sized snow globe! It’s not every day you see one of those on a front yard.
