Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

The day has ended. We had a lovely time together. The food is eaten and left overs put away. We played some games. We laughed and talked. We opened presents and ate sweets. It was a good day and now it is time for bed.

Thank you for all the visits, comments, stars, trips to the spotlight that wouldn't happen without all of you! Thank you for all of your inspiring photographs. And your words - poems, sayings, funny tales, moving and sad moments, philosophy and shared joy. I am so glad that Pilipo showed me this place almost four years ago. I'm heading off to bed. I'll be back tomorrow with my next blip.

Today it is my friends the jays again. This is a composite from a series of four photos of the same two birds. Take a look at the large version.
