So here you have our 2023 Christmas card. Can you figure out who did what? (Easy-peasy!)

Since 2018 Dan and I have sent out Christmas cards that include an image from each of us. I set it all up, and when I print I do half of the cards with his image on the front and half with mine (he insisted!). I absolutely love putting these together. I’ll bet you can guess who did which image.
Have you sent out your cards yet?
(Excuse the random lines around the cards … I guess I cropped things poorly from Lightroom and I’m feeling somewhat lazy at the moment so I don’t know when I’ll redo things!)

(When printing this card one image has to be upside down in order for them to present correctly, but I figured I’d turn them both right side up so you can see them.)




I saw the Grand Canyon (North Rim) for the first time ever. But I have a fear of heights and I simply couldn’t go with Dan to see it from the edge there. Even from where I sat I was having issues. In addition, the wind was absolutely crazy. Turned out we drove all the way there, spent a few minutes looking, and headed back out because it was just too windy! Ah well … maybe I’ll get back there again sometime. It could happen.
This is just an iPhone shot: we didn’t even bother with our “real” cameras because of that darn wind!

If you click on the link to Dan’s image above it won’t be the image he is making here: he is, instead, pointing the same direction I’m pointing. If I find the image he made in this shot I’ll link to it.
Just because I like them (and him):

Who is this guy and what’s he doing in front of my trees?
Okay, maybe not mine … and yes, Dan is the landscape photographer in the house so it makes sense that he’d be shooting a landscape. What doesn’t make sense is that I shot this on the iPhone. But maybe I did that to send to our kids … I can’t remember! And of course placing him smack dab in the center of the image is a bit odd too … but there you go. Still, I’m posting it because I like this guy. A lot.
