1. Excellent

Those appear to be professional grade pics, especially The Strand. What kind of camera do you own?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. My dear Droopy!

Thank you!

I'm hardly professional, but I do have a lot of fun...

My camera is a Nikon D50 digital SLR, with a 28-200mm lens by Tamron...

"There was a moment in time when those who were brilliant and powerful also were playful, and when they took recess from their exhausting and magnificent strides toward glory, they replenished their darker passions with fun and games.

AMAZING PHOTOS!!!

Thank you for sharing the beautiful waves and sunset! You two look like peas in a pod. :loveya:

We had a very relaxing day here... I enjoyed a brisk hike with the family pooch, Rascal, this afternoon and we all drove to Indianapolis to visit our favorite New York style deli, Shapiro's, this evening. It was nice to get out of the kitchen for the first time in three days! This mob can EAT!!!

I just finished stuffing the stockings and I'm off to bed very soon. I'm glad I checked in at DU to see your photos. That sunset... wow.

21. Beautiful pictures, Peggy!

You really captured our Southern California
Christmas.

You and your husband look great.

I spent the day preparing for our traditional
Christmas Eve dinner at my house.

Today is my day to get out in the sun, but
WOW- is it windy! It woke me up half an
hour ago. My outside potted plants needed
rescuing.

Merry Christmas Peggy!

Have a great one.

:hi: :hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

30. My dear Kajsa!

Seems a bit quieter this morning, though...

And a very Merry Christmas to you and yours too...
