Happy shortest day of the year (to my friends here in the Northern Hemisphere, anyway). I’m mostly on vacation right now, so am going to keep this short, but I hope all of you have a wonderful holiday season. Here are a few odds and ends images from the last several weeks. I hope you’ll enjoy them.
