Whatever your circumstances I wish that you all can find some moments of joy during this season. I think perhaps we all need a kind Christmas and we on flickr are a really kindly community.
With heartfelt thanks to my flickr friends who have so consistently commented or favoured my photos and shared theirs through the year.
Thank you all so much for sharing your quality photos which is a great way to see and keep in touch with the world from home. Also for your kind comments and favours which are much valued.
I am not able to take on any more members to follow or to post to groups. I prefer not to receive invites to groups.
A happy Christmas to all my flickr friends with thanks for all your beautiful photos, comments and favours.

When I first met Missy, I told her new owners that I was going to kidnapp her because she is SO sweet! However, upon further reflection, I have revised my thinking a little....
I still think that Missy (new gata of Jodiane) is completely adorable, but now that I've been taking care of Edgar & Joko all by my lonesome, I've realized that I need a third cat like I need a hole in the head! I'm very content to just be a special auntie for this little cutie-pie!
This one turned out to be a pretty good pic, especially considering I was holding the camera and taking the pic myself!
in February, following about a week of almost blizzard-like conditions, with relentless NE winds and drifting snow, we were told that it was going to warm up, but that some areas might experience freezing rain in the interim period. They were correct! This is what we woke up to see!
This was on the holly tree beside our house, right in the path of the NE wind and it was VERY slippery out!!! When I went out to take pictures, I took a shovel along as a 3rd leg, jamming it into the ice in front of me every step I took.. (17-02-09-6577)
Because she can't see, she thinks Humph is standing on a box! He is such a gentle boy xx we meet him sometimes when we go to Formby beach.
With 12958 Tons, 11564' yanking on the drawbar BCOL 4626 and GECX 7387 lead Q116 south across the now Lake State diamond and passing the tower that still stands in Holly MI. Out of the 11,564 feet on this train 8,771 of it will be set off at MOTERM in Detroit with the remain 42 cars of junk freight being split between Pontiac and Flat Rock.
Back Garden - she looked as if she was egg laying, however I can't see any sign of an egg (could be my eyesight) (the shed door makes quite a good background!)
The holly blue (Celastrina argiolus) is a butterfly that belongs to the lycaenids or blues family and is native to Eurasia and North America.

her , she reminded me to much of somebody else ;o)

It's been a good year for Holly Blues where I live. I've seen good numbers of them from 1st and 2nd broods, both in the garden and further afield.
BEST VIEWED LARGE.
for Me Again Monday
theme- hats
wanted to do something super creative but ran out of time so settled on this.
HMAM!
Holly really wanted Sock's ball the other day and even decided to stare me down in hopes of convincing me that I should help her get the ball.
I believe she ended snagging the ball for a second or two; luckily for her Sock is easily distracted.
Hope everyone has had a good day.
