Happy New Year 2009

Happy New Year!
May 2009 bring Joy, Health, and Prosperity.
This was shot at the New York City Boat Show back in early December. When I saw these boats with the illuminated "New for 2009" on them I knew I would have to use one for my New Year's post. I think Mark wanted to find one of these under the tree this year, but Santa couldn't swing it this year. Perhaps some day.
For a much larger view go here.
See my new SLIDESHOW page.
Your comments are very much appreciated. I know how much time and effort it takes to visit and leave comments. I really do appreciate them.
I make every effort to reply to questions but sometimes I 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 button at the bottom of the page.
I post the same photos here as on Capturethisphotography.com but they are higher res. and landscape orientation shots are larger size.
I post only on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.

Great shot for the new year. And great anticipation (when you pre-saw this at the boat show). Tell your husband I didn't get one under my tree, either. Happy New Year.
