Remember: only 3 images each week!<br /> Nathan, Hope you're ok.<br /> Just to kickstart the picture of the week.<br /> Here's one from the exhibit from last week.

<p>I've only been photographing family recently, and I'm too lazy today to go back to previous Thursday threads to see if something from my archives has already been posted, so here's an OOF Christmas tree taken recently. Who doesn't have a few dozen of these already? [i keep them stored right next to photos of my cats, flowers, and sunsets... ;) ]</p>

<p>Hey, Nathan! Wake up, buddy, you're late for work!</p>

<p>Seriously, hope everything's OK, there.</p>

<p>Thursday whine: Crappy, cold, rainy weather, no sun. So, here's one from November...</p><div></div>

<p>White-breasted nuthatch from a few weeks ago</p><div></div>

<p>It's great to be be back for another year of EOS photography. Life is good.<br /> But, in the Midwest, life is also quite cold. On New Years day, I braved the elements for a walk around the neighborhood with the 5Dmk2 and only the EF 24mm f/2.8 After 45 minutes I hustled back to the house but grabbed these few on the way.</p><div></div>

<p>I visited the Merced National Wildlife refuge this week. These two White-tailed Kites lit in the tree and stayed long enough to allow me this shot.</p><div></div>

<p>Later I saw this cute Killdeer.</p><div></div>

<p>Finally a Great Blue Heron was posing alonside the trail.</p><div></div>

<p>Here's my first image of 2013.</p><div></div>

<p>James F., I like that thought so here's one of my first shots of 2013. The first two on the CF were already deleted!</p>

<p>Hope Nathan is o.k. too!</p><div></div>

<p>I happened to be up during our great blizzard. Went out at four AM and the world was nearly bright as day from the diffusion of the city lights and the white snow.</p><div></div>

<p>Happy New Year!<br>

Great photos all!<br>

Hope Nathan is well too.<br>

Wine tasting is exhausting work.<br>

<p>Here is the first photo of this year from me; my new phone with a nosy cat nearby.</p><div></div>

<p>Canon 7D ISO 400; 70-200 mm f/4L IS at 200 mm; 1/500 sec. @ f/8.0</p>

<p>Ok, uploaded the wrong photo in the previous post, then removed it, and photo.net won't let me add the right one in, so then I decided to post a new post with the same photo, and got "objection" from photo.net (post with the same title even though it wasn't), then gave up, so decided to post another photo in a new post. Here T'is, I hope.</p>

<p>Carolina Chickadee in my back yard a week or so ago. <br /> Canon 1D MIV; ISO 800; 500 mm f/4L IS + EF 1.4x TC II; 1/400 sec. @ f/7.1</p><div></div>

<p>finally got a little snow here in Cleveburg</p><div></div>
