Photo – Self-portrait in a Christmas tree ornament, rural Auburn, CA
I was taking a walk in our neighborhood a few days ago with our dog, Cocoa. I took my camera along in hopes of finding something I could photograph, that I could use in this post.Â
As I was walking by this outdoor Christmas tree in our neighbors yard, I saw Cocoa and I in this ornament. I thought that would be perfect!
So, to everyone out there that follows this Blog, we wish you a Merry Christmas!
Sherri, Jeff and Cocoa Meyer

Photo – Horse in a rural Auburn, CA pasture
I’ve been trying to get a good shot of this horse, during my morning walks for quite sometime. On the days when the conditions were the best, I didn’t have my camera. Then, I would carry my camera and the conditions wouldn’t be good.
Finally, a couple of weeks ago, everying lined up. I brought my camera and I got there when the lighting was just right. There was also frost on the ground, which added greatly to the scene. It was worth the wait!

The West's oldest Volunteer Fire Department taken in March 06, Auburn, CA
Well, it’s raining cats and dogs again today. I had originally planned on going into Old Town, where the photo above was taken and shooting the town all dressed up for Christmas. But, I think I’ll bag that idea and continue on with my holiday baking and gift making.

So much for having a White Christmas this year, according to the Weather Man! Of course, we know that they are not always right!

Jeff and IÂ are looking forward to another great Cross Country Ski season this year. Hopefully, we will get out more than we did last year, which was only once. But, the previous year, we managed to ski a dozen times. Wow – that sounds a little out-of-balance to me!

Photo – Digital art photo of a Sierra Sunrise, Auburn, CA
I have been having so much fun lately creating Digital Art photos, I decided to experiment with the Sierra Sunrise photo I posted a few days ago. I really like the way this turned out.
Creating Digital Art photos has been a nice change from what I normally produce, which is travel, adventure and outdoor lifestyle images. I believe it’s important to break the paradigm every now and then and create just for the fun of it!

Photo – Sierra Sunrise as seen from our deck, Auburn, CA
Although this may not be the most spectacular sunrise I have ever seen, I didn’t have to go very far to enjoy it!
A few mornings ago, when I looked out our French Door, this beautiful sunrise is what I saw. That’s not a normal occurance for us, but now that winter is finally here, we will be experiencing a lot more of them!Â
I have gotten into the habit lately of looking out our French Door every morning, when it first starts getting light outside. I also keep my camera handy and ready, so I can take advantage of whatever might be in my field of view, such as the sunrise above and the deer in the photo I posted a few weeks ago.Â
Photo Tip – Keep your eyes wide-open and be prepared, because photo opportunities can be as close as your own front yard!
