Jeezubs, where did the time go? It seems like yesterday I viewed the first of these and now all of a sudden we're on number eleven?! Doesn't seem possible. Happy Advent, anyway!

Michael, the calendar pages are starting to flash by like one of those flip books with the cartoon characters printing on them. A happy holiday season to you as well!

Hey Mission, that's what I thought too. It's raining and cold here and I'm hoping this doesn't all turn to ice!

As I'm partial to flowers and nature, I'll have to say this is one of the best. Thank you !

Julie, thanks! I'm glad to see you.

Zuma, I need photos like this to give me a little summertime in my heart even though it's raining and threatening ice outside.

Fusun, I know just what you mean. I like seeing the particles of pollen on the grasshopper's legs. Thanks!
