1. November Opportunities for Christmas Shopping We’ve never been huge fans of the Christmas ‘shopping’ season arriving in what seems like July sometimes. 🙁 On the other hand, many of you like to shop early, and like to do it online. So, since we think photo-related products make wonderful gifts, we will provide those opportunities for you throughout this month. We’ll ease into it slowly (see the first sentence), but there will be significant savings through the various opportunities offered. For an early overview, visit Christmas Gifts 2014. As an added bonus, throughout November, all shipping/delivery is FREE!!
1.5 2015 Calendars!! Now that the 2015 Calendars are ordered and will begin mailing soon, we will make that our first November opportunity. For a look at all the Calendar information, including types, themes, prices, ordering, etc, visit 2015 Calendars. For a sneak peak at some of the scenes from each calendar visit Sample Calendar Scenes.
2. More Greek Isles Other Greek Isles shots will surface in future mailings, I suspect, but to see another one now, visit Greek Isles 2.
3. Fowl Mood? I walked past our downstairs guest bedroom on the way to my office one morning last week. I heard some strange tap at the window, so I go to check it out. As I arrive at the window and am about to conclude there’s nothing, this head pops up into view! Really took me by surprise!! When I recovered, I tried to get a picture, but scared it off. I managed to get upstairs as it casually sauntered up through our driveway, stopping at both the front and side door! I haven’t labelled it a Krazy Pic, but it was certainly a crazy occurrence! To see the visitor, visit Fair or Fowl?
4. More Fractured Translations Two or three weeks ago, I put up a few English ‘translations’ that didn’t quite make it. If you missed them, you missed some hilarious moments! Here are a few more (with the originals along with them). See English Broken Here.
