day 120...12-31-09

blue moon

To my understanding the phrase "once in a blue moon" (meaning rare) came before the term blue moon referring to 2 full moons in one calendar month as we've had here in December.  Tonight was also a Lunar eclipse although we did not see that here.  I shot this with my 500mm zoom lens.    Happy New Year!

I need Madge!

(haha check this link)

I got home late from doing inventory and wow counting paper and stickers really does a number on your hands.  Of course this photo doesn't show it but every line and crack in my skin was filled with fine white dust.  My hands were sooooo dry, they looked like they had aged 40 years in one night.

 i was playing around, shot a lot of junk, did a poor editing job but at 1am am calling it done for today!

was all set to update the blog for the last weeks worth of missing photos but apparently I already dumped this card onto my work computer and I am decidedly not at work so it will have to wait

the elf on the shelf

This is Fitzworth, as so named by Kaylin.

This little guys job is to carefully monitor the behavior
of the child in his charge and report each evening to his boss (the big guy himself), Santa Claus whether he or she was naughty or nice.  Since of course he is a magic little elf, he flies home to the north pole each night.  Each morning he's back but hiding in a new spot and Kaylin has to find him.

Love that Lawson Heights Mall has nixed the Santa photographer

and lets you just bring your own camera and get the shots you want.
