Sorry I'm late to the bokeh party! I've been wanting to bring my camera out since mid-December when I got back, but I've been lazy. I took a walk after dinner around my neighborhood, and lucky for me, people still haven't taken their Christmas lights down.

I didn't take too many because it was super cold out. Oh well, there's always next Christmas.

Wishing a very Merry Christmas to all those who celebrate, happy holiday, and happy days to all!

See you next year buddy!!

Amy likes to put up the Christmas tree, after the Thanksgiving celebrations are all done. Normally she does it for her parents, but his year we put up our own.

“Best of all, Christmas means a spirit of love, a time when the love of God and the love of our fellow men should prevail over all hatred and bitterness, a time when our thoughts and deeds and the spirit of our lives manifest the presence of God.”

Bokeh coffee cup

shopping for xmas presents

The hex shaped bokeh container fell off the piano. Took 3 hours to clean all of the bokeh off of the floor.

He likes trying to eat our new LED Christmas tree lights and licking that chair.

I finally got out on Christmas Night to take pictures of the lights. My 'Christmas Bokeh' picture last year was such a hit, I tried to see if I could out-do it this year.

This was taken at the Global Winter Wonderland in Santa Clara.

I'm a few weeks late...but I hope everyone had a great Christmas! or great whatever holiday you celebrate.

This is my friend Paul's Christmas tree. The lighting wasn't so great in the one I took of my own tree haha.

merry christmas! or happy hannukah, happy kwanza, whatever holiday you celebrate (:

a new lens, a new year, and some new ideas. let's hope this goes as planned.

Our new family favorite! I've bought every container I can find!
