My Christmas photo has been printed and stuck in an envelope to be mailed.
Whew! With only a short time until Christmas I'm cutting it a little close!
Almost every year of our married life we've taken a photo for our Christmas card.

Almost every year of our married life we've taken a photo for our Christmas card.
I have all my Christmas photos in several red albums that I drag out at Christmas time to get all
of us mushy and sentimental. Right now they are somewhere in storage and have yet to be found.

I'm sure they are there somewhere!
Here's a couple Christmas cards that I managed to find on my computer.
Fortunately, my photo taking has improved over the years thanks to a better camera.
All the pets HAD to be included in this one...Wanda, my iguana, was there too!
(Some info was removed to protect the not-so-innocents.)

This one was created using my newly learned, but not so good photo editing skills.
To continue this crazy tradition, my hubby and I went on an adventure to take our 2014 photo.
We didn't take along a professional photographer, just my camera and it's handy little timer.
To get to the place for our "photo shoot" we had to walk miles and miles...it took hours!
My hubby said it wasn't that long.
Really?
Really?
He said it was only about a half mile and it took 15 to 20 minutes.
Are you sure?
It seemed like such a long walk uphill the whole way there and back!
There was some beautiful scenery along the way...
This small mountain of rock has some nests embedded in it. Can you see them?
They look pretty cool on this rock! I counted at least seven, but I'm sure there were more.
Swallows can get pretty determined where they build their nests and will rebuild even if you knock
them down or try washing them away. It can be crazy and whole neighborhoods can be taken over!
It's no fun if they pick your house to build them on!
We found a great spot on the boardwalk to take pics.
Sunglasses on...no.
A little romantic tilt of the head...no.
Is the camera done taking pictures? Silly timer!
Seriously, is it still taking pics...dang that timer!
Where'd she go?
Let the hubby check the camera.
Finally...success!
Do you send photo cards at Christmas?

The strangle hold...definitely no, no, and more no.

ReplyDeleteI don't send a photo card but I really love to receive them. Your final shot is just right and I love the scenery shots too....beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWonderful blog and post. Your photos are lovely.
ReplyDeleteOh your card is too cute and such a gorgeous couple. One of the neatest cards I saw was from a couple that had a picture of him, and her when they were about 5 years old.
ReplyDeleteCarol, you know you are crazy, don't you? I love the sequence of photos and the captions you wrote! I hate my photo taken so no Christmas cards with pictures but I do love to get them, especially if kids are in them...you get to see how much they grow each year! Merry Christmas to your family!
ReplyDeleteCarol what a lovely picture. Thank you for sharing it with us. Merry Christmas.
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love your cards! And such beautiful scenery on this year's card - you look so beautiful there with your handsome hubby - but more than that you just look so happy. :) blessings, marlene
ReplyDeleteSo cute!!
ReplyDeleteGreat photo, Carol. Love the scenery too.
ReplyDeleteoMG I just laughed ....not at your photos which are just perfect, especially the last one...the build up...you are so funny...
ReplyDeleteYou picked the perfect one! I love the whole post. It is a beautiful card and gotta love that non Christmas weather and scenery thanks to the desert life!
ReplyDeleteNice photos and beautiful scenery too. Your card is cute. I don't send cards anymore and my family and friends stopped sending cards years ago too. I spend more time making my gifts that I wouldn't have time for making cards too. Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year Carol!
ReplyDeleteHa! We can relate to all of the photos....waiting on a timer can create some wonderful expressions! The final outcome is GREAT.
ReplyDeleteIt's a nice picture. Love your past cards too!
ReplyDeleteGreat photo! Love the scenery too.
ReplyDeleteLove it! Beautiful picture!

ReplyDeleteYour captions are as fun as the photos...love them :)
ReplyDeletelove the final picture - came out wonderful - the lead-up was hysterical
ReplyDeletehilarious post. That last one is so cute. It's a winner. We do a family photo but it depends on the year and timing....didn't happen this year. :(
ReplyDeleteHaha, Carol! Thanks for taking us behind the scenes with you on your photo shoot! Oh, you make me laugh. It was all worth it though, that final picture is golden!
