Happy Birthday, Melba

We are in Arizona for Christmas week staying with Peggy's cousins, Melba and Dick Callender. Peg's mom is with us. Melba's birthday is on Christmas day so we have been celebrating that while here in Scottsdale. Happy Birthday, Melba!

Peg Some Better, Still Has Pneumonia

It's been a long stretch. Peggy got the results of her CT scan today. Her lung has recovered. She still has pneumonia though. She's feeling a little better but she's definitely ready to be well.

White Christmas

It's snowing in Springfield. Starting to accumulate a little. So it's sort of a white Christmas for Peggy and me as we are spending the day on getting Christmas stuff sent out. Peggy had an early CT scan as she continues to have breathing problems. Monday we'll know if the pneumonia and/or her partially collapsed lung have gotten worse. She's discouraged, as this has lasted so long.

Perky is in the Christmas spirit, attacking the tree and repeatedly removing the lights.

"Tower of Belem" Wins Award

My shot of the Tower of Belem, which guards the harbor of Lisbon, Portugal, took first place for this week in the We Travel the World contest, a Flickr photo group with 6,669 members. I was invited to submit it. It was my introduction to online photo groups and my first photo submitted.

Click on the photo to go to my Flickr site. There you can view a larger version of the shot. There are lots of shots of this but few from this angle, from a ship leaving Lisbon harbor. I also benefited by shooting at golden time, late afternoon with the sun low on the horizon.
