Annmarie Garden in Lights Dec 22, 21019

Annmarie Garden in Lights is spectacular this year.  Well worth the visit if you are properly dressed for the weather.

 It was princess night with a flute choir.  These fair country folk were on hand to be photographed with young princesses to be.

 Winter scene

 Clever shadow area with several lights shining on white boards.

 These jellyfish were made of recycled plastic, even bubble wrap.

Don't forget to see the When Darkness Falls exhibit upstairs to see my ghost and fireworks photos!

New York City Favorite Photos Nov 27-Dec 1, 2019

 I went to New York to sing "The Messiah" at Carnegie Hall with DCINY choirs around the world on December 1st.  While there I took lots of photos (of everywhere but inside Carnegie Hall) and even visited B & H Photo and Video store on Thanksgiving day.  Photo of the outside of Carnegie Hall.

Shenandoah Animals 2019

Red-tailed hawk at Big Meadows, a bird with a bad wing.  We saw the hawk at a raptor lecture.

Kookaberra and other animals at the Luray Zoo.

Peregrine falcon (through a cage)

Goat that wants attention.

It always tastes better on the other side.

A goat with a beard is not necessarily male.

I loved this photo.  The Blues Brothers and Snowball, the peacocks at Brookside Cabins.  They had just lost most of their fan feathers, so closeups were better and I had to put my lens right up to the cage to make the wires disappear.
