I was afraid this might happen: the need to take a break from writing and shooting in advance of the Christmas holiday. This was the last shot in the queue, and though it was scheduled to be posted on the 15th, it isn't, in reality, being really posted until the end of December. I'll use the "shot date" for blog purposes, and then there'll be a break in the action, until after the 25th, when I'll finally have enough time to catch up, move forward, and, with any luck, try to keep to some kind of schedule. This image, by the way, was taken with my ancient Fuji all-in-one point and shoot, which remains a wonderful friend that can accompany me on my need-to-keep-the-weight-down walks. But since those treks remain for heart-health, i.e., I have to get my heart rate up and keep it there, there isn't a lot of opportunity to stop and shoot, especially with the heavier cameras and lenses that are, I have to admit, a challenge to haul. The Fuji weighs almost nothing, so it's easy to carry. After more than 10 years of work, it still takes, I would suggest, pretty darn decent pictures.
