New Years Eve Fireworks

My neighbors started shooting fireworks off around 8 pm on New Year's Eve. I was sitting in my study and could see most of them through the window so i grabbed my camera and and held it for the following shots that I took through the window.

Later toward midnight neighbors on the north side of my home also shot some off. They were not as predictable so I didn't get them too well. The ice has formed from my rain gutters in just the 24 hours.

Merry Christmas 2012!!

We wish you a 

Merry Christmas !!

Our 1st Winter Snow 2012 (The next morning)

So the weather man said the storm was suppose to go "north of us" and if it did I feel sorry for those who are "north of us" this morning.  Another one said "2-3 inches possible in the vallies" so I guess they continue to be as accurate as ever. See below. I estimated at least 8 inches while out taking these images this morning and it is still snowing now as I post these.

Our 1st Snow in 2012 Winter

This is for my Texas grandchildren who want to have snow for Christmas. We hope it looks a little deeper than this but this will show them that we currently are getting some.

For All The Hunter's out there

This is for all of the hunter's out there who are after their big bull. Although this isn't the biggest it was still mighty pretty. It walked across the road in front of my car late at night. I stopped pulled my camera to my eye and shot it. It walked away looking just as majestic and I got the shot. I must admit it wouldn't  make it in a magazine because the only lighting was the headlights of my car and so it is really a bad picture but it is still a beautiful bull elk.
