I meant to post this the other day when Casey first posted the picture of the Russian sailing ship. At the start of a month-long Caribbean cruise this impressive ship passed us. Even the crew of our ship came out on deck to gape at it as it went by. It was so big I needed to shoot several pictures and stitch them together as a panorama. The ship looked like it might be the floating lair of evil of an international super villain.

I love your picture, Karen. Catching the snow falling is so cool!! You live in such a picturesque place. Mine is Fred enjoying the snow. This was a few years ago.

Moni.....I checked your weather.... Saturday partly cloudy and 63, no rain again till Tuesday...:0) Merry Texas Christmas!

Such curious creatures, those dragon- and damselflies! They are so odd looking, almost unrealistic, more like a piece of jewelry. Such different colors too. Interesting. Nicole, I love your hummer today. This is a side I haven't seen before and I do love his tummy ruff. Cool stuff.
