Migraines, Shutdowns, And Ornaments Oh My!

Ornament #1 Penguin with Hat

"If ever the difficulties of your life seem overwhelming, consider the prospect of being eaten alive by savage penguins and rejoice that such horrors are unknown to you."

~A. L. Kennedy

Now That You Are Back

I am struggling. I just said goodbye to the only season that makes me feel alive, the parks, this week, will be shuttered, due to the stupid partial government shutdown, being waged by an orange toddler, the sky becomes cloudy, every night about 7:00 PM, as to obscure my view from the Christmas comet, and I have been plagued by Migraine headaches, on and off, for well over a week, with no apparent end in sight! So, now what? If so many roads of photography are going to be cutoff to me, I guess I will get creative.

In past years, I would gather up the cameras and head to Tilden, to photograph the Christmas carousel, and all it's lovely trees and ornaments, but Berkeley is so far to go, and well, my life has changed. So, I thought it would be fun to photograph some of the lovely ornaments Alan and I have given each other over the years, and share them here! We picked out such pretty ones, that it seems a shame to not share them over the holiday weekend. 

Forget that orange Grinch, happiness is all around!

 Right?
