"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!

  • 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

  • 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>

  • 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!
