Never does family mean more than at this time of the year. I look upon the Aminus3 community as a major part of my extended family.
@Marie LC: I tried a B&W conversion, but the original was definitely superior.
@Florence: Thank you, Florence. I had photographs for the 24th and the 25th and was looking for something for today; this one popped out. For me, what I find in the natural world becomes metaphors for everything.
@Paco Díaz: Have a wonderful journey. Blessings upon you and those you love.
@Denise: The natural world is a major part of my family.
@✿ Anina ✿: A joyous Christmas to you and all of those you love.
@Hiro: You are definitely an important part of my extended family. This was shot in the McDonald Forest on a hike.
@Noxeus: Feliz Navidad y Feliz Ano Nuevo.
@MrsAmber: And to you and yours. Joy, peace and love.
@Ana Lúcia: Me too. I tried B&W but this was much better.
@Lorraine: Merci chere amie.
@Barbara: Thanks, Barb. Peace, love and joy this Christmastide (remember Christmas "begins" on December 25 and goes until Epiphany).
@alex centrella: A joyous Christmas, Alex, to you and yours.
@MARIANA: You are incredibly kind, Mariana. Thank you.
@Slackwater - don: Thanks, Don.
@Steve Rice: Thanks, Steve.
@Curly: Before Am3, I'm afraid to say that I was a bit condescending toward Internet social networking. Now because I have received so much, I feel ashamed of myself.
@zahra: Thank you.
@Susan: Thanks, Susan. Being drawn up short by my earlier attitude toward social networking reminds me of how careful one needs to be about being judgmental of anything. If you want to fantasize, just fantasize what the world would be like if there were no judgmentalism (I'm not talking about making judgments, but about being judgmental).
