I’ve been so busy lately, this is the only time I’ve had my cameras out of the bag in recent memory. Work, family, and freelance have kept me hopping, which is why the posting here has been pretty light. I need to be careful or the Christmas season will pass me by! Don’t let the same happen to you if you can help it. This photo happens to be a milestone: it’s photo number 24,000 through my newest camera.

I love the fact that the capitol windows on the north and south sides are decorated with colored shades to celebrate the holiday season. Even better is the fact that we now have enough snow on the ground to technically enjoy a White Christmas! It just wouldn’t be the same without it.

Another reminder: I’ve resurrected last year’s Google Map of Bismarck-Mandan Christmas Lights for this year. I haven’t had a chance to update it, sadly…but hopefully most of the sites on it are still participating. Obviously the Chmielewski House takes the cake.

The link is easy to remember:

I wrap up this week with a big live production and some studio time, then hopefully I’ll get a chance to load up the family and go out to investigate the Christmas displays as well!
