Winter Solstice 2008

My beloved for the past almost 34 years, Joyce was born on the Winter Solstice in Ketchikan, Alaska some years ago. So, today we celebrated her birth by shoveling snow and shivering under blankets as the great Solstice Storm of 2008 raged outside. I took my old Sony HandiCam out on the front porch for a few minutes and tried to hold still. The wind was blowing pretty good, it was around 20F, and I was in my slippers. Not conducive to good photography. But we'll survive. Just hope things are better for everyone in the coming year.
