Mary and Christmas Ornament


This is just another variant of the original picture. I was striving for a black and white image but liked these muted colors better. I also wanted to try my luck at adding an imposed image on the large Christmas ornament.

Mary and Wreath



I have featured this grouping before, but I like this shot the best so far.

A Babe In A Manger


So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them.

I Played My Drum For Him ...


I know Christmas has come and gone and we are on the start of a new year but I didn't get out this Christmas to take my normal Christmas pictures. I finally made it out today to the Sacred Heart of Jesus Church and got some nice holiday shots. This one of the Little Drummer Boy was one of my favorites from today's shoot.
