Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays Thread

I will be traveling over Christmas and will not have access to my files from December 21 - December 26. This is my card to all on Focal World. There are a few here who I would like to single out for being so supportive over the time I have been on this site.

Jim Fox: Thank you for all of your support and for asking me to join this group. When I wake up in the morning the first thing I do is look to see what is going on here. Your hard work makes this site the success that it is. Thanks for being the leader here and for all of your work in making this a premier photographic site.

Eric Gofreed: Thanks for being a great friend, teaching me how to photograph birds, for agreeing to host Winged Wednesday and for sharing your incredible images.

Ben Egbert: Thanks for being so supportive and for being a stalwart poster. Your work is always excellent.

Jeffrey Sipress: Thanks for taking the time to meet up with me here in Sedona. I still can't get that drone image of Courthouse Butte out of my mind.

Roger Bailey: Thanks for joining this site at my request. You have become a good friend and your contributions here have been superb.

Jameel Hyder: Seeing your images here is always a treat. I love your processing. It has changed the way I look at images and the way I process mine.

Alan Lichty: Thanks for always supporting my threads and everyone else's. Your ability to make sense out of chaos is unmatched.

Kyle Jones: Thanks for supporting my photography and for being an anchor poster on this site for its incipient years and during its growth to what it is today.

Oliver: Thank you for supporting my posts here. Your posts are always excellent.

John Holbrook: Thanks for taking over "Thursday's Task" from me. You always have a kind word for everyone, and your artwork is such a pleasure to see. I would never have been able to do what you have done. You have made it much better.

Kurt Harrigan: You have introduced a wonderful whimsical approach to photographing wildflowers which I and everyone else love.

Dan Swinger: Thank you for being such a consistent poster, Dan. Your contributions are a valuable asset to this site.

While rushing to get things ready for our travel I whiffed on a couple of other people I wanted to mention for their contributions to this site.

@Trent Watts : Trent is a newcomer to this site but his outstanding bird images have made a major impact on Winged Wednesday. He and Eric make a dynamic duo.

@MonikaC: Monika has been a major poster for a long time. I especially enjoy her narratives telling the backstories for her images. She has been posting a lot less lately but I hope she begins to increase her activity here in the near future.

@Bob: Bob Shuman has been a good friend for many years. He is also a wonderful photographer. He didn't hesitate to help out putting up Guy Schmickle's booth when Guy was unable to do it all by himself, last fall. He also conducts a get-together for budding photographers each month at his home. His contributions to this board are always great.


As I remember more I will post them here.

I took this image the day after a New Year's Day storm. I am so blessed to live in such a beautiful area.



HAPPY HOLIDAY'S EVERYONE
