Auld Lang Syne
The song that will been sung across the world at midnight. The old Scottish ballad written in 1788. Some people will raise a toast to the new year 2025. Some will look at the clock, see it is midnight, mumble the words to the song, turn over and go back to sleep. Others, me probably being in that group won’t welcome 2025 til I wake up in the morning. However you celebrate the new year, Happy New Year!!! No new year’s resolutions in this house. The only constant happening is the new calendar, as it has for almost 30 years. Below are the shots which we will enjoy this year as the months go by. Starting with the cover! I hope you enjoy the picks for 2025. Look forward to sharing my photography with you in 2025.

Plans
We are all familiar with the phrase “The best-laid plans of mice and men often go awry” a line from a poem by Scottish poet Robert Burns – AI Overview. Early on in the fall a client contacted me about taking shots to be used as 2024 Christmas card. A productive photo shot was held. Before a shot could be chosen and a Christmas card produced, a postal strike happened. This gave me a chance to try different backgrounds, maybe producing an imagine which could be used in 2025. I share with you the results.

Creativity
Creativity should happen all year long but ….. it doesn’t. In my world anyway. So that means I am scrambling come the end of the year for a Christmas card(s). This year there was a postal strike that went on until it was to late so send cards out. A card that hadn’t been designed yet, If a card had been designed and sent out, it would have been the 26th card to be designed and sent to family and friends, Would that make 26 cards collectors item? The cards below were designed for Facebook.
Summer Days
Maybe there is method in my tardiness. On a -25 degree day it’s nice to remember a beautiful warm day in August. The following photos are from the Mid Summer Arts Festival, held in Fort Qu’Appelle SK. I went with friends and we all enjoyed what there was to see. Paintings, I would have loved to add to my imaginary house of art, pottery, metal creations, cloths and accessories made of fabric and much more. Following are just a few photos of what we saw.

November 24th
A birthday was celebrated on November 24th. Josie and Chase turned 4 years old. They entered our lives in February 2021. The years together have flown by.
Softball
In my last post — way back in August. I did have good intentions. I said I had another “first ” to post, which is shots from a girls’ softball game. Less than 15 minutes from the ball diamonds and I had never been to a game. The girls played good ball. Not the Blue Jays but they put on a good show. I’m hoping to visit the diamonds next year.
