<p>I expect to fill a card with family today but I've mostly been chasing kittens with the K-5 & Tamron 28-75mm has been my favorite pastime lately. </p>

<p>Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to Everyone!</p>

<p>It's been a record snow month of December for us here in St. Paul/Minneapolis, right about 3 feet accumulated for the month, another storm due before the New Year. These three shots are from our 18" snow from Dec 11-12. Pentax K-20D and various lenses. Winter in Minnesota- deal with it and move on. More at my blog- http://steves-stories.blogspot.com/<br>

<p>#3 is nice, Yury! I'm glad to see some hand-painting happening. And the drive-by is fun, Steve. Ditto "Men and Sausages" and the last one Markus. There's only a <em>tiny</em> bit of snow on the ball in my first shot but it looks as though I'll have a better opportunity today. </p>

<p>Not worthy of a POW but I got me a cute little P&S with a nice name on it for Christmas.</p>

<p>Well, Merry Christmas all! I worked all through the weekend (It's Sunday evening here already), so the festive cheer has eluded me, but I do have photos to share from Friday's Sports Day at my school.</p>

<p>First, the obligatory attractive colleague, K100D, DA 70mm limited:<br /> <img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5087/5293670502_759e9cae64_b.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="683" /></p>

<p>Second, an action shot of course, K20D, F 100mm Macro:<br /> <img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5089/5293075109_a62de9c1b4_b.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="681" /></p>

<p>And third, my 6th grade kids won the tug-of-war. The celebrations involved lots of laughter, tears, and hugs. K20D F 100mm macro:<br /> <img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5282/5293674978_9b3bd7411c_b.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="681" /></p>

<p>unfortunately the I-10 does not take very good photo's.</p>

<p>I am a little disappointed that a canon Elf 1400 blows the I10 away.</p>

<p>Dave, you always put up the best ornament shots and Steve, I can't image how cool all that snow is. </p>

<p>Happy Holidays everyone. I bought my K-7 last June, but Thursday was the first time I took it out with my FA 50mm. Here are two photos from that day.</p><div></div>
