Hi Joan~! Merry Christmas to you too - I hope that the next year will be an amazing one and that all your dreams will come true :)

Lovely flower photo - I like the pink and white lines/veins (is that what you call it?) on the flower.

I think Santa should set up a base at the South Pole too. That way he could be more fuel effecient and could give his reindeer some additional oats and heavy duty lichen to munch on between stops.

Merry Christmas and Happy Summer Days.

Thanks Sreddy. I think you are right about my dreams coming true. It is one I have long waited for. :) Have a super holiday too. Do you celebrate the Christmas and New Year?

SAPhotographs (Joan) said...

You are right Bernie. It will be much easier on the reindeer. I think Santa is going to have to change his oufit though, much to hot here for the traditional ones. :)

You two have a wonderful time too.

Thank you Lawrence. Its like I say at the top of my blog " never give up on a dream until you are ready to wake up and make it real". Maybe this next year will see some changes for me and I will wake up.

And also to you Joan. Merry Christmas!

I did a book review on Part Of The Pride on Troutbirder II. I'm wondering what you think of your countryman's accomplishments and methods???

Same for you Gaelyn. I think love and happiness must be the most beautiful gift anyone can ever receive.

Thank you so much for that write up. I have put a link to it at the top of my page. This is an amazing love story which has never been heard of before and an accomplishment which very, very few people will ever experience.

Merry Christmas to the Bug Lady!
May the spirit of Christmas fill your heart
From every corner, crook, and cranny
To the end of time and from the start.

We have no gifts to send you
Just these words from all your fans
We love your blog and we love you too
More than all of Sahara's sands...
