"Ascension"

Ascension, originally uploaded by Michael Shattuck.

We had a foggy day, in general, today. And tonight it made me think of a shot that I wanted to get. So, with gear in tow, I headed out to the end of the street to pop some flashes and see what I could get.

This is partly why I love photography. There is such freedom in expression. No one telling you what to shoot, when to shoot, or how to shoot. You just go out there and shoot. There's no right or wrong (well, ok...there can be some serious wrong...but you know).

This has absolutely positively not a single thing to do with Christmas. Maybe I should have worn a Santa hat or something! But seeing as though we will be leaving town tomorrow and not get back until Christmas Eve, I'll take this chance to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas! I hope and pray that this is a time of peace in your lives...a time that you truly can reflect on what God has done in your lives through the birth of Jesus. It's sometimes tough to focus on that message during this time of year (ironic, huh?) but I'm trying hard to do so and encourage you to as well.

I've missed "talking" with you all recently but just haven't had it in me too much to bang my thoughts out on the keyboard. And I just think that Thumper's dad was right..."when you ain't got nothin' good to say, don't say nothin' at all."

Many blessings to you and your families!
