Christmas on the Beach

12/25/2015

Galveston, Texas on Christmas Morning
​

Picture
It was warm and foggy early this morning.  Beth posed me on some granite with a tiny fake tree and a Christmas ball, the size of me.

Scary
​

Picture
We were on one of those rock jetty things, with all the water churning around us. I was afraid a big wave would splash me right down into one of those deep cracks!

To the Sand

​To the Sand



So we moved over to the sand and found some shells. Of course Beth had a candy cane and some pine stuff with her.

Why wouldn't she?

​Sun!
​

Picture
She pulled out the tree again.  She is never able to decide how to pose me.  I tried to tell her the sand was wet and this was not what I expected to be doing on Christmas morning.

Shadow
​

Picture
Beth said, "I know, but look at that cool shadow!"  Beth also reminded me that she hadn't expected to be on the beach on Christmas morning, either.

On Christmas Eve, she and Don decided spur of the moment to drive to Galveston and stay a night in a hotel.  They had already done Christmas when their kids were in town a few days before.  

​Beth insisted, "It's too quiet in this house."  

​Much Better
​

Picture
So I tried to be patient, since Beth was obviously missing her kids.  Then she pulled out Santa and Rudolph and it felt a lot more like Christmas. 

​MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

A Sled for Christmas?

Radio Flyer

I already have a Radio Flyer wagon.  What I really want is a Radio Flyer sled. 
Picture
Beth took this picture of me at the Nursing Home.  Her friend George is 102, which means he knows a lot.  He said no one has sleds in this part of Texas.

A Friend in the Wagon
​

Picture
Beth said a sled was out of the question. She said wagons are fun and she decorated mine with pine greenery and then she brought me her elf friend. That is not what I was asking for.
​
A Talkative Friend
​

Picture
This guy is crazy.  He never stopped talking.  He told me 10 Christmas stories.

Singing
​

Picture
And then he scrunched down in the pine and started singing Christmas carols in the most amazing elf voice.  I might not look like I'm enjoying it, but he did sound pretty good. And I stopped thinking about wanting a sled.

    Little Bear
    ​

    My mom gave me this tiny bear many decades ago... because  I like small things. 

    Some years back, I used
    him in an assignment for a photo club and I got hooked.  This little guy is a great excuse to play.  He fits in my camera bag, so he's always at the ready for a photo shoot.  He's been to a lot of places and he's had a few close calls, with fire, rivers, champagne, wild animals... the scariest of all was when he was lost in New York and returned to me weeks later.  

    I started the blog for Little Bear in 2012, but he got tired of my blogging style, very quickly. He has been writing his own blog for years.
