I like it.  The wreaths say Christmas! Snuggled in with a fireplace & a glass of
champagne!
Invites me!

Don't know if that bird is a Raven, or Crow, but he was a BIG bird, & it was
luck & a good camera that got him! Yes, that is a self-portrait. I wrap my
garage each Christmas & add the big bow, & I was wearing a red sweater one day,
& thought it might make a good Christmas photo, so asked my neighbor to pose for

Good capture of the raven Virginia, also love the Falls and Flowers.
Lovely self ? portrait with Xmas bow. Such a vibrant red.

I live in Sun City, California.  We do have snow on the local mountains.  SEE?!
While I was snapping this, the Raven came flying by to check me out!  Got ya!
Local rocks appeared to have some markings on them.  Snap!  Snap!
Beautiful weather, in the 70's!  I love it!

Thanks Bert. They are great and Merry Christmas back to you!

This is just out from Yahoo...

*UPDATE: We've just pushed out a change-- that should have resolved this
issue-- please let me know if you're outside of the US and are still
experiencing this issue. *

Some users are reporting that photos are not visible within their group
homepages or albums: instead of seeing their images they're seeing a
white box with a red "x."

Currently this issue is isolated to only a few select markets, including
Australia, Mexico, South America, South Africa, New Zealand, Singapore,
among others.

We're aware of the issue and are currently working on resolving the
issue.Thanks for your patience.

never mind, it wouldn't allow the upload and I made sure the pic wasn't too
large.  got the usual" an unknown error has occurred"
   for the most part when I try to upload to this or other photo lists, I get
either nothing or the error message.  this is the main reason that I don't
participate anymore.  I'm probably not the only one who has gotten totally
frustrated with upload problems.

a very cheery card.
I created a christmas card for my friends on boxer and boston terrier lists that
I'm on.  we exchange physical cards every year.  I used pictures of my 3 dogs
that i'd taken. photoshopped in the hats and bows and created the background.
   sadly we lost the shepherd mix to cancer last tuesday.
I know there is way too much photoshopping on the card for this list but I
thought I'd share it anyway.

[  ONote: So sorry you lost your boy. We had to put our guy down a few weeks
ago. God, it's not a good moment, but a good DEED. He had days left and the
cancer got to his spinal cord. Up until them he was pain-free. The other two
will compensate you, as ours do. It hurts less pretty quickly when your best
friends surround you!

As for the Photoshopping, this group is all about photoshopping as much as YOU
like to get what YOU want! Photoshop, like the Camera, are tools to create YOUR
image. Have at it!

Warm thoughts, and a Merry Christmas,

Owen]

This was my latest project!  A photo to send with my Christmas cards. Sorry if
it is not the best lit, composed, sharpest, inspiring photo! Yet, I have
achieved my goal!
How about some Christmas photo's!

Oh one other thing please speak freely about my photos or my opinion as I'm a
big boy and I believe you should say what you feel.

Yea my opinion is that  it gets real discouraging when every election you go to
the poles and vote and the wrong asshole gets elected anyway. Its like most of
the people are so brainwashed that they can't see the light of day. Went to a
school (" Holiday Concert") they couldn't even call it a Christmas concert, and
when I said something to my girlfriend about how disappointed I was that at the
end of the show the principals closing statement he says happy holidays and
couldn't even say Merry Christmas she says well its a Christian holiday. She and
whats seems to be most of this country now can't see the light of day and the
minority's are getting their  way because the few bitch like hell and the many
just sit on there ass's and say nothing. They forget that this country was born
on Christian principles and thats what made it a great place to be, that why
everyone came here cause it was free and you could express your opinion with out
getting your head
  cut off. They come here because of all the good things then try to change it to
how it was back home. Its so fucked up when they protest about a nativity scene
or a war memorial or anything they don't like and wreck  our life to try to
impose there way on us.
Sorry I got off on the wrong subject you was going on about money and health
care, but somehow its all related, there is so much money wasted by the Gov.
trying to solve all the lawsuits, and pay the congressmen and all that. Its like
you say we have to start over boot out everybody and begin again, but how do you
do that when it seems the majority just sits back and lets the minority win???
God I get so mad I can't think straight and my mind just goes everywhere when I
get going as theres so much wrong that I can't focus on just one problem theres
to many. So I vote and hope for the best, I go to town meetings and express my
opinion but all that does is cause fights LOL Oh well I'll just keep trying.

If the government rams this Health care package through Against Massive Public
Opposition, there WILL BE NO TOMORROW. We as a nation will be as broke as WE THE

The solution to our survival - As A UNITED Group of States - is for our
Government to count OUR pennies, cut back on spending, making do with less, and

The same solution that WE THE PEOPLE have to do - to survive.

Nothing else makes sense.

If not, they should be fired. Impeached. NOW!
