This is my first attempt at a photoblog. I have been doing self-taught photography for most of my life. I hope you like this effort. Please click on the photos for enlargements.

Christmas traditions

Well, another festive season has come upon us. A time for families to get together, exchange gifts, enjoy a great meal and play games.
One of our family's favorite festive games is shown here being played by two of my relatives.
It's called "Close your eyes, count to ten and then guess where I hid my gum".

The picture kinda gives it away doesn't it?

Bet you can't wait to see what we do for New Year's Eve, can you?


Oh well,
from our family to yours - have a safe and Merry Christmas.

Take care of each other,

fstopsteve & family

Where have I been?

It seems I am the only person on earth with a diagnosis of midas-ocularis. This is a strange phenomenon in which the afflicted person's eyes take on a golden hue, bulge sightly from their orbits and which decreases the visilibilty of said victim.
I have not been able to take many photos since I came down with this.......
I can't go on with this farce. The "eyes" are actually the containers from a Toffifee box cut to fit my stupid head.
I did this with the grandkids last Hallow'een and told them I was really an alien.
Sometimes - I think they have doubts about me.
Have a nice day......and keep watching the skies!
