"Nothing is so often irretrievably missed as a daily opportunity". ~Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach
------------------------------------------------SmugMug's DailyPhotos Community is a wonderful group of talented and friendly photographers, whom I first met during my "30 Days Hath September" jaunt http://bit.ly/2i0Cxn. That experience has inspired me to keep shooting every day and to improve my photographic skills. This gallery is of photos I will be taking and posting each day, unless time is against me, when I'll be posting a recently taken image. Comments welcome!

Every year, the shopkeeper puts his leg lamp in the window. And every year, he's asked to sell it many times, but if you look closely, you'll see a tag that reads "NFS". For anyone else, this would be "a major award", but for the shopkeeper, it's his retirement fund.<br /> 12/22/09<br /> From the film "A Christmas Story" <a href="http://bit.ly/RzhO">http://bit.ly/RzhO</a>

  • The Choir of St. Margaret's Church in Saugus, MA put on their annual Christmas Concert Sunday night. Brother-in-law John and sister-in-law Bev are members and invited us to attend. <br /> <br /> They performed magnificently, as you would expect of a choir that was invited and has performed at the Vatican and in various other European venues. Yes, they are that good! We thoroughly enjoyed the night.<br /> <br /> 12/29/09

  • Scenes from a mall<br /> 12/13/09<br /> While waiting from my wife outside a "candle shop" last night, the pattern of the floor tiles caught my eye, then the hustle and bustle of fellow shoppers which made for some interesting abstracts.<br /> Captured with an iPhone and processed in an app called Lofi.
  • Another Annalee sighting<br /> 12/16/09<br /> Thanks to everyone who commented on yesterday's "recession rabbit" shot. Five stars to Joda for the best LOL comment!

    Our friends have one of these -- and it stays in their front window year round. I like when it's decorated for Valentine's Day -- sorta looks like a bordello. :-)

    Love the light and tones in the shot -- and you've gotta love that leg!
