That Is Not a Christmas Display.

Only one picture today. I think I put everyone through enough yesterday. :) 
Chris came along when I went out by bicycle to take a few Christmas light display pictures. This turned out to be my favorite one.
I waited for cars to pass and used a little long exposure while Chris was entertaining himself with his cellphone. :)

Thank you to Santa for the new macro lens to play with! I predict more insect photos in the future. :)

Have I mentioned how excited I am about long exposure photography? More to learn...Yay! :)

Paddle boarding and taking in the scenery by the locals. :)

And flaaerrrzzzz...... :)

Holiday Boat Parade - Indian Rocks Beach

It took a long time for them to get to us, but it was worth the wait! I didn't get everyone's boats...they were all so cute. A lot of time put into these. :) I love the music and everyone's festiveness.
Tried a couple with longer exposure....For the blog I again had to reduce quality on a few. Merry Christmas everyone!!! :)

I only came to dance!
But since we had come from a holiday boat parade I already had my camera.....so.....who needs a flash?? (The answer is me.)
I'm kind of unhappy that I had to reduce the image quality to upload a couple of these. They really couldn't handle that. Wahmp-whahh...
It was a silly night! Dancing need = fulfilled. Yay!
....This reminds me, I need to upload some more band photography. Fun stuff. :)

Sisters....

Pelican Pete....or Sam....or Mike....I have no idea... One bird likes to join him on his boat and the others chase him every time he moves through the water with his crab traps. Fun to watch. :)

I think I've been spotted.
