As I continue my journey I am always overwhelmed by how God shows Himself to me in Nature, Sunsets and Sunrises, Wildlife and all manner of sights. I have tried to share what I see through my photography. Sometimes I get it and other times it is a dismal failure. The wonder of what is in my eye is always there, it just doesn’t always translate into my image.
I want to wish you all a Merry Christmas and thank you for you continued support and friendship.
This shot sums up the wonder of my Christmas with an image of my wife Louise reading the Christmas story with our Granddaughter Michaela at our family Christmas Party. Reflect and rejoice.

Mathew 1:18-25
This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about.
When his mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph,
but before they lived together,
she was found with child through the Holy Spirit.
Joseph her husband, since he was a righteous man,
yet unwilling to expose her to shame,
decided to divorce her quietly.
Such was his intention when, behold,
the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said,
“Joseph, son of David,
do not be afraid to take Mary your wife into your home.
For it is through the Holy Spirit
that this child has been conceived in her.
She will bear a son and you are to name him Jesus,
because he will save his people from their sins.”
All this took place to fulfill
what the Lord had said through the prophet:
Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son,
and they shall name him Emmanuel,
which means “God is with us.”
When Joseph awoke,
he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him
and took his wife into his home.
He had no relations with her until she bore a son,
and he named him Jesus.
