Something Special For The Holidays ---- (14)

Hi PhotoFriends,

With due respect to Clement Moore

‘Twas the night before Christmas🎄, when all through the field
Not even an eagle was stirring, not even a snowy;
The camera📷 bodies were lined up in a row with care,
In hopes that St. Nicholas🎅 soon would be (there with a variety of lens);
My PhotoFriends were while visions of exquisite captures danced in their dreams;
Then appeared a miniature sleigh carrying eight lenses appeared.
I heard Santa say:
“Now, Snowy! now, Eagle! now Cardinal and Chickadee!
On, Woodpecker! on, Nuthatch! on Titmouse and Rudolph!
Then I heard a bang and they all were on my roof!
Santa’s eyes how they twinkled, his red suit was amazing,
That all I could think of was snapping some portraits of him!
So as they all were about to leave,
I thanked them all for my wonderful lenses,
As they all posed happily for me to get that special photo!

“Happy 🎄Christmas to all, and to all a good night!”



My photos below were designed to be Visual Art.

Here is my original Hummingbird photo to compare with the Visual Art used in Pix 2.

I hope you enjoyed something different for The Holidays 🎄

Just think, tonight Santa Claus will be coming down the chimney with all our photography goodies!

Don’t forget to put out some milk 🍺and cookies 🍪 for Dear Santa, get snuggly in your PJs and get some goodnight
because tomorrow is going to be one busy day looking for a Snowy Owl to photograph (I could only wish)

Happy Holidays,
BeeBalm

P.S. For those who view my thread after Santa arrived, I hope you got all the special goodies you asked for on Santa’s lap this month

Weird. #2 and 5 do the most for me!
How did you ever get that hummer to stay still long enough to get a shot with the Santa hat on?!!!
Merry Xmas.
