The Sun Sets on 2009 (Skywatch)

It's Skywatch time again as the sun sets on 2009. I took this photo a few days ago at Marion Junction, and it's one of the most brilliant sunsets of the year! 
Also, notice the cell tower at the bottom right.

Hope you all have a glorious new year!

See more Skywatch photos at www.skyley.blogspot.com. This week's meme should be posted soon!

(I'm posting this a day early since Friday is Theme Day for the City Daily Photo Blogs.)

Christmas Toy!

There's nothing like a new toy for Christmas!

Mirror, Mirror on the Truck

I'm afraid that Kate the horse didn't get a very good look at herself through the mud-spattered outside mirror! However, she is the prettiest horse of them all!

About as Muddy as it Can Get!

Dallas County is about as muddy as it can get! The Blackland Prairie soil is super-saturated with more rain expected by mid-week.

Sunset on a Clear and Cold Day

The sun begins to set on a clear and cold day in west Dallas County. While this area is rural, a major highway runs next to it, and there's a "camouflaged" piece of technology that lets the viewer know he's not far from civilization.

Can you find it?

Santa's Landing

Santa and his reindeer landed on this Old Town roof long before Christmas Eve! I think if prizes were given for decorations, this one might win the "Tim the Tool Man" award!

(Only those of you who remember the "Home Improvement" TV show will get that!)

Thanks to Christine Weerts for snapping this picture!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!
The Savior is Born!

For more Good Tidings of Great Joy, read Luke 2.

Welcome Home, Sam

Apparently, Sam will be home from the Army for Christmas and not just in his dreams!

Alabama or Auburn?

Looking for a last-minute Christmas gift?

If you live in Alabama, Santa can't go wrong with souvenirs from a favorite college team!

The Real Thing Christmas Tree

The "Real Thing" Christmas tree pretty much explains the reason for the season. I spotted it atop a picnic table at a nearby country store.
