Christmas is almost here and I have been busy with many things. Our snow is finally going away. The temperature is heading back to the more normal range for us in the winter....40's or 50's.
The female Cardinal at the feeder out back.
Downy on the suet.
A very cold looking Great Blue Heron who happened by one morning. The pond is frozen, so I doubt it found any food!
Kiwi....the outside cat wondering why she never gets to come in the house like those other cats that live in.
Mike has had a lot of fun all year making things with his 3-D printer. So of course he had to try a few Christmas ornaments for the tree. Other people post designs they have made and you can download and print them or design your own. I liked this one with the hole in the star for a light....very clever by someone.

For anyone wanting to know about the 3-D printer. Here is a link to a site that shows all the cool stuff that people have made with their 3-D printers. It is really fascinating! It's all plastic stuff, for those who can't tell in the photos.

I finally have finished this little Christmas tree wall hanging I have worked on for months. Now I have to figure out where to hang it.
Over the mantle.
On the hearth...my wood block nativity.
We are very eclectic in our decorating. The tree has a hodge podge of ornaments that have come from vacations, and as gifts from family and friends, Hallmark animal ornaments, and just things we like. The white ornaments are some more of Mike's 3-D fun....snowflakes with our names and snowflakes made of StarWars characters and fighters :-)
As I say....no theme to our tree!

Merry Christmas everyone!

Your wall hanging is just great Mary and very seasonal.
I believe your tree does have a theme,it's called beautiful.
All the memories hanging from those branches is what makes it special!
Have a Blessed Christmas!
Great pictures of your birds! Poor black kitty! Is he banned from the house or just wanted to stay outside?
Another question: Are those 3 D ornaments made out of paper? I'm not much of a 'techie' so I'm not familiar with the 3 D printer.
We wish you and Mike a very Merry Christmas!
For anyone who wondered: A 3-D printer prints stuff out of plastic. A thin piece of plastic tubing is heated and builds up the design. You can make all sorts of practical things as well as fun stuff like the ornaments.
I must say I love trees that have no theme...ones with a bit of this and that are much more fun to look at!
Great tree and decorations! Love the woodblock nativity! Also 3D printer ornaments--who'd a thunk it! :-) Life sure has changed over the years, hasn't it? Oh, and I get the sense that female cardinal is posing for the picture. :-) The cat too though I'm sure he IS a bit put out about being left in the snow.
OK, have posted two posts with new camera pictures so check them out! :-) And, to answer your question, I can either remove the memory card OR use the plug-in to transfer the pictures to my computer. It's SUCH a relief having a nice digital camera at last! :-)
