Soon the lights will fade

Only a few more days of merry Christmas lights remain.

CHRISTMAS!

Merry Christmas (or Happy What-ever-you-celebrate) from This is Eric's Blog. The pic is a scan of my holiday card for this year. Nothing says Christmas like a sheep in a Santa hat!

Happy Holidays from me to ewe!

Looks like it's already winter.

Tomorrow is officially the first day of winter.

May it hurry on out of here!

Only 90 days until the first day of spring!

20 degree hike

Yup, it's winter alright.

The sun was shining making for a fairy pleasant hike in the woods.
(Well, for the first quarter mile the sun was shinng.)

Brrr - finally winter

Suddenly it's winter here complete with snow flurries and single digit wind chills! All summer while biking and hiking and photographing I told myself I would continue doing this all winter no matter what the temperatures (with the proper clothing of course) and maybe even try snow activities like cross county skiing and ice skating. But now that it's here I'm really not so sure anymore. (Brrr)

I guess it will depend on how inside-stir-crazy I get.

Here's a mid-summer pic of a bird and a boat on Lake St. Clair.

Toasty, like a warm crackling fire.

Welcome to December!

The last month of 2009 is here very suddenly and the Winter Solstice is approaching fast. Yet here near Detroit there is no sign of Old Man Winter. (No complaints from me!) Although the weather men warned that today we would finally wake up to snow flurries we got sunny and 45 degrees instead. Perfect weather to put up the holiday lights - no jacket required!
