Week 52

A Belated Merry Christmas

     I had a post all ready to publish on Christmas Day, but our internet has been down for over a week.  It has been very frustrating to not have it for so long, but it is now working again.  Now my Christmas post seems totally outdated.  I will still post some of the Christmas pictures that I had prepared for last week and will add some of the ice storm that we had here in Southern Ontario on Dec 21st and 22nd and also some of the family over the Christmas season.

      Thanks to all of you loyal followers of my 52 week photo challenge blog.  It has been fun doing and it did help me to learn to operate my camera better due to taking pictures so regularly.  This will be the last post unless I take up another challenge sometime in the future.

"For unto you is born this day in the City of David, a Saviour which is Christ the Lord."
