Happy Christmas Eve everybody! This is always my favorite worship service of the year. However, it is just one of the many things taken away by a horribly mismanaged pandemic.

Today’s collection of pictures was taken in the middle of August. I was still playing around with photographing a flower frozen in a block of ice. I was still using a normal daisy.
