Christmas is over. It came and went so quickly and now the shopping frenzy turns to exchanges and returns, redeeming gift cards, and getting bargains and clearance sale items. Me? I stayed in and vegged! I was not brave enough to face the "Day After" madness.
I do hope everyone got all that they wanted for Christmas. I did, except for one thing. I wished that some miracle would have brought Rob home for Christmas. I now know how military families feel during these Holidays and it's very strange indeed. So to all the service men and women and their families I send up a prayer and my best wishes. From one Soldier's Mom to all of you Thank-You!
Don't forget to visit "Tis' The Season" Justin Gaynor's fun Holiday Photoblog. It's a collaborative photoblog featuring seasonal Holiday photos from Thanksgiving through New Years from some very fine photographers many of whom you know and if you don't you will. I promise it will be worth the visit. So please go check it out.
Please visit my other photoblog Capturethisphotography.com
This photo of the Bucknell Quad is a 2 page feature photo in the Summer 2008 issue of Bucknell Magazine.
Your comments are very much appreciated. I know the time and effort it takes to visit and leave comments and although I don't get to reply to them nearly as often as I like, please know that I do really appreciate them. You are what keeps me going. I make every effort to reply to questions but I may miss one or two and I apologize for that. If you really need me to get an answer to you quickly, the best way is to use the contact form on Am3.
As of July 2008 I have decided to post the same photos here as on Capturethisphotography.com but check the archives for photos not posted here.

@Stefan: Thanks.
I'm vegging today. Our house guests left yeasterday afternoon and now I just can't get motivated to do much. I am catching up on all my blog friends and posting a late picture but hey, at least it got up finally. The day is chilly and grey so sitting by the warmth of the computer screen is just fine with me.
