Day 352 thru 355

Day 355 {Ocean Beach}

After a few hours of ice skating/shopping the girls and I took the pooch down to the beach.
This shot was taken at 3:30 with a storm rolling in. I changed the white balance setting to tungsten to get this blue hue to the shot. I really like the way it came out.

Day 354 {Gingerbread House tradition}

Every year the girls make and I make a gingerbread house (from a kit). This is our group effort.

Day 353 {A beachy Christmas tree}

Today was an absolutely perfect southern California day. 70 degrees and warm! This is a shot of the wonky Christmas tree on the beach where we went for a late breakfast.

Day 352 {Noooooooooo}

Getting ready for my Girl Scout meeting I ended up dropping about 1 million beads all over the floor of my garage. Thank goodness I had just swept, so the floor was relatively clean!!

Oh noooo! ~ all the beads scattered on the floor!

I LOVE the Christmas tree on the beach ~ perfect 'ornaments'.

A fun and yummy Christmastime tradition! Great job on the gingerbread house!

I like the effect of the beach shot!

I love the beach shot! The tree on the beach is a great idea too. I can't believe you took a picture of the beads. I would have been so bummed I would have cleaned it up, then thought of taking the picture.

The beach shot turned out fantastic! Very calming.
So jealous of your ability to go to the ocean so easily!
The beads...WOW! Makes me wanna cry just looking at it!

Michelle, have you ever taken a picture that wasn't gorgeously and vibrantly full of color? Just coming to your blog makes me happier. :)

And that beach shot makes me homesick for a place that was never my home.

I hope you have a wonderful Christmas -- we're so close to number 365!
