I can't believe that this year's 365 is almost over! I have put all of this year's shot (with the exception of the last few weeks) in several collages. If you want to see them head over to my other blog: One Crafty Mama.
Day 363 {Holiday lights}
My favorite part Christmas are all of the lights. The girls and I went over to Coronado tonight so we could look at the lights of the Hotel Del before they are taken down.I managed to get some fairly decent shots despite the fact that I forgot my tri-pod. Even though I tend to prefer close up shots, it is times like this I wish I had a wide angle lens.

Day 362 {Bokeh effects}
The other day I was cruising my list of 365 bloggers and ran across the mention of another 365 blogger that had a tutorial on how to create this really neat bokeh effect using a cut out piece of paper over your lens.Unfortunately I couldn't get the right ratio with my lens so you can't see the total effect (the lights should look like snow flakes). Go here to see the killer shot he created!

For those of you that asked........we did not get a new cat!

I'm laughing about your "closeup" comment - that's one thing I've learned about myself this year - I'm all about the close up and details.
The bokeh photo is cool! Something to add to my list of new things to try in 2010!
I'd hate to be the one paying the bill for all those Christmas lights!
Beautiful Hotel Del Coronado!
Love the bokeh effect ~ I came across the same tutorial the other day! Thanks for sharing!
Coronado was beautiful in September 1994 --the last time I was there -- but it's even prettier in lights!
