Seeing everyone post photos of ornaments made me want to do the same. But I procrastinated until after Christmas when all the baking and getting ready was done. We have a small tree and don't put many ornaments on it. Only those that can handle the constant fondling from a curious boy.

I took a few photos on my walk Saturday. I wasn't paying attention to much so most of them didn't turn out. And the others weren't very exciting. The camera just see what the brain thinks the eye sees. I tried using Topaz Labs Adjust for this. But there was too much detail. Then I opened up Topaz Labs Simplify for the first time. It was part of the bundle I got in the fall. I like what this did, made it more of a watercolor.
Scot Baston issued a New Years Sunrise challenge on flickr and Twitter. Yesterday, we had beautiful light. Today, we had rain followed by clouds. I was also limited in where I could go since I had to be back before 8 am.
Andy & I went down the road and found this rentention pond. At first glance, I didn't even notice all the cranes out there. But once I zoomed in I could see at least a dozen birds.
I didn't get great shots but it was good to get out so early. I have also found a spot that I will go back on a clear day.
