The squirrels have been our constant visitors this winter. There are still plenty of acorns on the ground. This one was staring at me through the window a few mornings ago. The one in my header was chomping away on acorns in the driveway. The rest of the images are things around the house or hanging on the walls.</div>

My header is a view of one of the Christmas lights in Frederick. The
local fire and rescue give Santa a ride through the neighbor every
December so he does not get lost on Christmas eve. And below is another

We have a few days of freezing temps recently, with rain and a few snow flakes. But it was strange to see on December 11, a little snow that only collected on autos, not the ground or streets. Squiggles and lines (above), the setting sun through the trees and finally back lit leaves,</div>

Not your expected peppery hot stuff! Marianne made apple sauce in her new pressure cooker this year. (Usually it is cooked all day in the crock pot.) Same good taste (hot or cold) and much less time to cook. (Still a lot of peeling, coring and chopping.)</div>

When I chose this theme for a heater I was planning to take my camera with me to vote and get some shots of folks going in to vote and all of the political signs that appear on Election Day. However, we decided to vote early. Here, the county opens 3 polling places and any registered voter can vote the week before the official Tuesday voting day. We chose to vote early and tried on the first day. It was raining; the parking lot was full so we went home. We went back a second time and the voting was easy - only a few minutes to show ID, get a ballot, mark it and put it in the scanner. Official voting Tuesday was cold and drizzly and I did not go back out with my camera, so my header is the only voting shot I have. It is the sticker given to all who voted.<br />
<br />
Our head bangers on both sides of the big pond have now gone through contentious elections with the direction of both governments in flux and the outcome unknown. Certainly there will be much talk (especially by the pundits), but in the end I expect life will continue much as before for most of us.<br />

We have a good number of these small critters around, along with some
neighborhood cats and an occasional stray dog. (Most dogs are well
behaved and stay on their leash.)<br />

This week, the challenge is "water". I chose to photograph one of my favorite subjects at night for this challenge. Carroll Creek runs through the City of Frederick business district and at times flooded businesses near the creek. The City built a flood control system that carries the overflow water underground from Baker Park to a point near the fair grounds. A linear park was created along the above ground creek, with flowers, fountains, walkways, art work and an outdoor amphitheater. Above, one of the fountains shot with flash, below without flash.</div>

I went on a search through my files for some memories that had been captured by my camera. I found these fond memories of my surprise 60th birthday party craftily arrange by Marianne. All the kids, grand-kids, brother-in-law and his wife appeared, having traveled from across the USA.
