1. Oh my gosh

Thanks for these. Aiman steals the show but all are wonderful. I am really happy seeing another Westfest picture, and I love the ferris wheel angle.

I think my favorite is the last one, though. The clouds are in the perfect spot for the mountains. It just looks SO icy and cold. That would make a great winter entry!

3. Speaking of Aiman,

You should check out Kristina's latest little video of him. It's so funny. http://alaskatoaustralia.wordpress.com/2009/12/12/speechless/

2. Fabulous, and of course I would have expected nothing less.

May your days be merry and bright
and may all your Christmases and a huge part of the rest of the year be white...

4. A chronicle of beauty and stories told. I'm so glad you put these together.

Thank you. And thanks for the Aiman newborn reminder, though it seems like yesterday.
Gray December: Magnificent division of space, same with the one before.
Great shot of the wheel, State Fair.
Really illuminating picture of the Quitter. That woman's energy at spewing bullshit is encapsulated there.
Blue: Worth every bit it took to gather them and post them.
Thanks again.

5. Brava!

6. Just gorgeous, Blue.

You always make me extremely envious when I see the environs you get to romp and play in. I especially love the June shot. That looks like my ideal living situation.

Um...what does SWSNBN stand for. I see that you are pointing out Caribou Barbie in the pic but I just don't get what that means.

10. She who shall not be named.

Speaking of "she," I'll share these links with you guys because I know GD is sick of her. She's really created quite a stir up here by banning bloggers from her book signing:

Allegedly, these bloggers were banned for their OWN safety, which says a lot about how SP and/or Harper-Collins view "her" followers. I think it more likely that she is afraid of the bloggers.

7. Astounding and beautiful portfolio

I love the Sea Lions...

The light is enchanting.

The baby is precious.
