I set this shot up by going over to private property (which Tim said i shouldn't do but I did anyways) to get this great low light capture with the stairs behind me for "Saturday for stairs" and I thought nobody was home...shortly after the owners came out and started looking around but I was back to safety!! ;))

Friends and family at Chapman beach...:))

Thank you all for making this past year so much fun. I have met such inspiring people and have made some wonderful new friends. I have been very fortunate to be able to travel to Canada, New Zealand and Australia and had the most amazing time with Coleen, Charlotte, Monique & Robert in Canada and the lovely Lance in New Zealand. I have also met Gary and Chris in the UK and I hope to meet up with them again. It's been a wonderful year and I thank you all for making it so.

Merry Christmas to all my Fabulous Flickr Friends and here's to a Happy and Healthy New Year!

And.... keep on snappin!

Yes this is a Connecticut beach cottage...HWW!! :))
