Holiday Card Picture Choice

**Riverkilt** · 24th November 07, 07:01 PM

From the other posts seems to be the season.

Was backing up my gallery in Photobucket the last few days and decided to keep my eyes open for a holiday card shot.

Gonna use this one this year. Already ordered and they're in the mail headed to me.

I like it since it has a holiday winter scene and the tartan is Lord of the Isles which speaks to my family's roots on the Trotternish Peninsula of Skye.

Caption will be " 'Tis the Season to KEEP IT SIMPLE"... Since so many friends are also recovering drunks, a humerous reminder of how to survive the holiday parties.

The cards and stamps are getting expensive, but with scattered friends and kin its a good way to keep in touch. And I noticed a few female coworkers kept last years card up all year. Not sure why. But flattering and I'm happy to give them another one. And maybe the cards will encourage some cousins and nephews to try kilting.

I was thinking that was a nice photograph and then I thought, they're all nice. Hmmn, how is it that you and Hamish both have your own personal photographer?

At least you take yours out for walkies, Hamish doesn't let his out of the yard.

I agree, Ron, that is a fine photo and one that is appropriate to the forthcoming Season. Good choice.

My personal photographer is Tripod Self-Timer (a well connected fellow with the double-barrelled surname!) He's been with me for years too - needs to have been too, snapping someone with an ego as large as mine!!!

That's because I have no friends (who know how to use a camera) - apart, that is, from Tri, but he hates working in public places, and we do not have the wide open spaces that Ron has on his doorstep. So, my photos are either taken indoors or out in the garden. It is sad, but true!

Wow! many of my pics are taken by my friend Tri too, using a timer.

The better ones, like this holiday pic, were taken by my lady who takes pictures for a living as a radiology dept manager down in Hopi....

Its a lot of fun, and hopefully somewhat helpful to the newer kilties.
