Going on hiatus: Nativity scene, glass on red

This nativity set belongs to our daughter and son-in-law. I thought the red background enhanced the figures.

Christ, God, became also human, for my sake, at Christmas (whenever in the year that was). Then He lived His sinless life, teaching His followers, died as a sacrifice for my sins, and rose again to demonstrate His power. His entire life, and resurrection, should be celebrated. But Christmas is a good place to start.

I'm going on hiatus, and don't expect to post anything, or do much, if any commenting, on your work for a few weeks.

Thanks for looking! A blessed Christmas to you.

Christmas lights reflected on hardwood floor, cropped, contrast enhanced, bubbles, increased magenta

The title pretty well covers this one. I saw lights on a Christmas tree reflected in the shine on the hardwood floor of a friend's house, and took it from there.

The Gimp and Corel Photo-Paint, which has a "bubble" effect, were used on these poor unsuspecting pixels.

Grandson number two, asleep on his father's shoulder

Younger grandson, also known as Mr. Cheerful Perpetual Motion, not in motion, for once.

This was taken at Walt Disney World, near Orlando, Florida. He woke up, and continued to enjoy the place. We enjoyed him, and his brother and parents.

spotted butterfly and bees on butterflyweed

The plant, I know. It's Asclepias tuberosa. (I would never have learned that without Flickr!) It's a member of the milkweed family. We dug up a few a number of years ago, and, in spite of the fact that I sliced all of the roots in half during digging, they have done well in my wife's flower garden.

I don't know what butterfly that is. Any identification assistance would be appreciated.

The bees are from our neighbor's hives, I'm sure.

Five years on Flickr: heart's-a-bustin' fruit from back

This is the fifth anniversary of my Flickr membership. I thank God for being able to do this for this length of time, and I thank you, the viewers. This is natural color. The seeds are bright red or orange, and the husk, with all the little spikes, is a shade of pink. The plant is Euonymus americanus. Isn't God a great artist?

I have posted 1,350 items which have received 163,822 views from Flickr, itself. Total views, including search engines, is currently 1,250,849, and there are currently 65 of our photos (some taken by my wife) in Explore. I have been privileged to comment on your photos approximately 55,226 times, according to the Recent Activity page.

For more on the subject of the photo, click on the photo in the first comment, or see my "Euonymus, mostly americanus" set, under the "This photo also belongs" in the right column.

Thanks again!
