On Christmas day my son and I went to my parents' house to meet with family and celebrate the holiday. I went outside to their backyard with my camera thinking I might be able to capture some amazing shots of some wildlife.....as there is ALWAYS some kind of animal activity in their backyard. BUT NO.....yesterday was eerily quiet......no signs of wildlife anywhere......so I focused on other subjects. I also did some black and white shots which I am really starting to love....here is one of my favorite black and white shots of my son and his cousin....(YES mom and dad I have them in color too and they are just as nice in color....

of course it helps when the subjects are so amazingly cute
And the second photo below is one taken by my dad....oldmanlincoln whom you can find here:
Abraham Lincoln (I just cropped it out and turned it black and white because it was an amazing photo)
