<p>A good Nikon Wednesday to everyone, and a hope that this busy season isn't running you down. I highly recommend getting out past the shopping mall for a change of scenery.<br /><br />The couple of hours I spent wandering in horse country this past weekend did my brain a world of good, and presented the opportunity to make this photograph. Sure, it's shamelessly seasonal stuff, but that's OK, because I'm sure at least a few folks will join me in posting something holiday-esque, so I won't be alone! Got your Nikon gear all tuned up for family photos this time around? Share one!</p><div></div>

<p>In NW Florida, USA. Christmas lights on the corner of Marpoles and Elm ... in Crestview.</p><div></div>

<p>In downtown Crestview, NW Florida, USA. One old Ford pickup truck.</p><div></div>

<p>Nice pics so far! That puppy looks pretty happy. I'll start off the film users barrage now... :)</p><div></div>

<p>There have been a few Great White Shark sightings near Santa Barbara Harbor and other places along the South Coast this year. I managed to capture this very rare occasion:</p>

<p>One leaf tenaciously holding on</p>

<p>Nuts, I'm confused - is one not technically "walking in the roadway" when "using the crosswalk"?</p><div></div>

<p>Great shot Matt!</p>

<p>This little gal was out looking for an early morning snack...</p><div></div>

<p>Well, a bit of snow is seasonally appropriate. Yr Wyddfa.</p><div></div>

<p>Nice shots this morning. I'm afraid I don't have any decent Christmas season shots so I'll post some from this fall season from the old trusty F3 HP.</p><div></div>

<p>Early Holiday Wishes from a couple Rogue Elves. My Daughters several years ago when I used to do a yearly Christmas card photo.</p><div></div>

<p>Here's a couple of shots taken the day after Hurricane Sandy hit the East Coast. These are of Lake Michigan in South Haven, MI.</p><div></div>

<p>and the second one.....</p><div></div>

<p>Greetings from the depths of northern Ontario.<br>

'Steam' rises from the lake as the ice forms.</p><div></div>

<p>The 'steam' is responsible for the ice crystals growing on whatever they can attach to.</p><div></div>

<p>I asked Sharon not to smile for the camera. But, she just 'lost it'.<br /> <img src="http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee183/bobdein/Sharon2_DSC9456copy.jpg" alt="" width="700" height="467" /><br /> Nikon D90 NIKKOR 85mm f1.4 @ f2.8<br>
