Merry Christmas!

It has been a good year for us, and Christmas was no exception. We had friends over for dinner last night and had the traditional Dungenous crab, salmon, and lamb. Call it a California tradition since it is crab season. We ate well, that is for sure.

Then Santa showed up. Doe and Duano gave us a gift certificate to take a seaplane flight around the Bay Area. It's going to be super cool! We will try to choose the time to get some good photos. Thaks D&D!

A couple of days ago I went for a hike down the hill in Muir Woods. I mostly took pictures with my Hasselblad, but I did snap a few with the 5D after it started to rain. Here is a look down the Fern Creek trail.


The yellow alder leaves were a nice contrast to the dark green and red-brown of the Redwood trees. The rain on the leaves gives it the contrasty look.

It has been a pretty dry year so it is nice that our weather has finally turned wet. We had the big storm our wedding weekend, then it was dry again for six weeks or so. Now, finally we are getting the daily storms blowing through. Very winter and Christmas like (in a Northern California kind of way).

Hmm, I'm rambling. Anyway, we hope you had a wonderful Christmas Day. We did!
