“Runaway Sled” / Theme: Wait Up
You probably can’t quite tell, but that sled is running away and the chase is on! It was rather funny to watch. She did manage to catch up, eventually.

“On the Lake” / Theme: In the Cold
Grabbed this shot while out for some fresh air along the lake. There’s something so deliciously wintery about this photo.

“Time for Bed” / Theme: By Candlelight
I’ve been saving this “By Candlelight” prompt for the end of the year. I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do, but I came up with this on Christmas Eve… I’m really happy with how it turned out. Even better than I expected!
P.S. Curious as to the book in my hand? Anne of Avonlea by L.M. Montgomery. I just grabbed it from the shelf as I wanted something green to contrast with the red shawl. (Not sure you can tell it’s a green cover, but it is.) Happy Christmas! See you next year…

“Stille Nacht” / Theme: All Is Calm
I’m posting this for Christmas… which is less than a week away! For me, Silent Night (Stille Nacht) is probably the song that feels the most like Christmas. And I’ve always loved the story of how the song came to be. If you don’t already know the story, here’s the quick version. It was Christmas Eve in Austria in 1818. Pastor Joseph Mohr went to see the choir master/organist, Franz Gruber with a poem he had written and asked Gruber to set it to music. In just a few hours, Gruber composed the melody for Stille Nacht. And he did it for guitar music! Why? Because the church organ had been damaged due to flooding. (Check out this link for the full story.)
P.S. The organ featured above is very much a working organ. No flood damage, thank you very much. I love how all the pipes are part of the whole presentation.

“Sewing Basket” / Theme: Heritage
I inherited this sewing basket quite a few years ago. It originally belonged to my great-grandmother. So, this thing is probably at least 100 years old by now! And even though it has a handle at the top, you have to be careful. That handle (after 100 years) is not very reliable.

“Mini Meow” / Theme: Miniature
This is Nanette. She’s just visiting me for a little while. With her soft, soft fur. And her tiny little meow. (There’s a button underneath.) Here she is, joining me for a spot of tea.

“Amigos” / Theme: Lucky Me
I saw the lighting on this and couldn’t resist taking a photo. These carvings don’t seem to have much to do with one another, and yet, they seem to go together quite nicely. Amigos? Yes.

“Shoes Among Leaves” / Theme: Step by Step
This photo is really all about the leaves. I love the yellow and golden hues contrasted with the blacktop. It’s like confetti! Celebrating autumn, nature-style.

“Flying by Fall” / Theme: On the Road
My settings were off when I snapped this photo. But, since I shoot in RAW, I was able to play with those settings. And it came out looking like this! I kind of like how it turned out… It has a bit of a surreal, abstract-painting look, don’t you think?
