Anacortes Christmas 2005
Nostalgia time. Christmas 2005 in Anacortes, including parade scenes as well as a decorated shop window (Maison Jardin) and a couple of scenes from Causland Memorial Park.

Christmas kitties animate tree
“Living Christmas tree” indeed. My wife LaDonna scored this awesome shot of kittens on a recent visit to a friend’s home.

(No kittens were injured in the making of this special Christmas memory.)
