wednesday, 31 december - well here we are the last day of december, and i thought i would show you what i've taken most of this month's photos with, my new baby, isn't she nice!!!

tuesday, 30 december - i know, i know another blue jay photo, but the other one i really didn't get a good one of his face, so here is a better one and it was either this one or one of me pretending to eat a humungous chocolate bar. believe me, this one is way better!

monday, 29 december - unfortunately this is not the best photo but it's the only one i took today so it will have to do! if you click on the photo you will get a better look at this cute little guy.

sunday, 28 december - i caught these pigeons do a high wire act outside our bedroom window because it was very very windy today!

saturday, 27 december - today we celebrated christmas, a few days late b/c of conflicting family dinners. i didn't get a family photo b/c they all groan every time i even mention it but doesn't zoe look adorable with these snowman ear muffs!

friday, 26 december - before i forget, here is zoe's stocking. i made it in florida the year before last and couldn't remember which way it should hang and wouldn't you know it, it's the opposite way to all the rest, that only means she is special!!!

thursday, 25 december - if i had remembered to put my camera in my purse this morning when we went to mass, i would have posted a photo of the manger in st. patrick's church or the huge one over at jacques cartier square, but since i didn't remember, here is the other big guy for today! these are cross-stitched cushions that i have done over the years.

wednesday, 24 december - i only took 2 pics today and they were at the mall, not last minute shopping just enjoying the quiet! the 24th is actually a very quiet day at the mall, this is at promenade st. bruno, just loved their xmas decorations, very classy!

tuesday, 23 december - i got to have my pic taken today with my favorite grandson when he came over to wish me 'happy birthday'!

monday, 22 december - and here is her mate, can't have one without the other, they are always together these two! ;)

monday, 22 december - omg i just can't decide which of these photos to use today, so i've decided to post both! these guys were at the feeder at lunchtime and i clicked away. i must admit though i would like a longer lense to get them in closer.

sunday, 21 december - well surprise, it snowed again today and i took this tonight at around 5:30 pm when it had stopped snowing. you can see that the snow is already up to the bottom 2x4 on the fence and we are expecting to get another dumping tonight and tomorrow, oh the joys of winter in quebec!

saturday, 20 december - we went downtown today to do some shopping which we haven't done in ages! here is my favorite building, la cathedrale, because, for one thing it's pink and also, it reminds me of a cat with those ears!

friday, 19 december - i just took a few pics of some of the ornaments on our tree and i like the way i got that blur of the ornament in front of that bunch of balls that i was aiming at!

thursday, 18 december - reg wanted to go shopping again today and decided to go to angrinon for a change, but champlain bridge was backed up because of an accident, so we went by victoria and this is the view we had of montreal from the bridge with my hand out the window and up (thus no aim) so that i wouldn't get the side rail!

wednesday, 17 december - i went out the back to shovel today and there is nothing lonlier than a bird feeder with no birds!

tuesday, 16 december - it's time for the christmas tree inspectors!!!

monday, 15 december - the girls were watching the princesses (elki's film of choice) while zoe was giving herself a pedicure!

sunday, 14 december - not much going on today! just took this shot of justin's stocking that i made about 6 years ago and you will see zoe's another day when i have nothing to take pictures of!

saturday, 13 december - went out the backyard to clear the snow off the gallery this morning and since it's minus 12 today, the ice is still making everything glitter like crystal in the sunshine, so i tried to get a few good shots and i like this one the best!

friday, 12 december - we went to promenade st. bruno at around 4 pm today and poor santa was all alone, no kiddies lined up anxious to see him, it was so sad and he really looks like the real thing, but i'm sure he gets busier on the weekends!

thursday, 11 december - we were coming home from the hospital this morning and went by lafontaine park and got this shot whizzing by my window because dh doesn't like to stop!!!

wednesday, 10 december - we had another ice storm last night and we woke up to 'no power' and about a quarter of an inch of ice on my car, ugh! this is what the 'sedum' in my garden looked like when i went to scrape and hammer for about an hour to get all the ice off the car!

tuesday, 9 december - forgot that i had my camera in my purse when i met the gals for lunch today, so here is elki's stocking that i made instead!

monday - 8 december - provincial election day, need i say more!

sunday, 7 december - i was uploading friday & yesterday's photos when dh called me into the kitchen quick with my camera to find 2 cardinals in the backyard, but they were too far away even for my new camera, so i came back to finish up and lo & behold right outside this window i captured this beauty who was munching on some nuts by the looks of it. this was the best one of 3 that i snapped while he was there!

6 december - one of our family christmas traditions is baking cookies!

5 december - it's friday night and we brought a chili dinner over for dd & family and the girls were having fun with putting on different hats!

4 december - laundry day, need i say more!

3 december - i trimmed the tree today and this is one of my ornaments that i love.

i usually put the 3 garlands swagging under the front windows, but since one of them wouldn't work this year, i put one around the door.

photo-a-day for december
