davidsview > During a recent visit to the Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium in Tacoma, WA, This beauty happened by. The handlers were moving him to a location for a Wildlife show later in the day.

I heard the noises behind me, and as I turned to see what was going on, this is what I encountered. There was no time to compose the shot, I just pointed my Nikon D50, and pressed the shutter.
davidsview > A little fog, a little sun.  A litte red, a little green.

Taken from the parking lot at work looking Northeast. When I got to work (Early) the skies were clear and the temp was about 30. When I went out later, the sun was out and filtering through the fog.

davidsview > 2008.12.25...  Why we celebrate Christmas. 

I went out and about yesterday, Christmas Eve, looking for the perfect Nativity. I photographed many, but this one, outside the Trinity Lutheran Church in Spanaway, WA, struck me.  It's simplicity. It's colors. It's meaning.

This, in my mind, the birth of Jesus, is the reason we celebrate Christmas. There are many translations, but for me, as a Christian, this is mine.

Merry Christmas everyone. May your day be filled with joy and happiness. May your day be framed in your own translation of this Celebration. May you be with friends and family, if only in memory. May we all thank and Bless our troops in far away places and wish them safety as the defend our freedom and fight to prepare others for thiers.

SOOC. Cropped, resized and bordered in PS CS3.
