Full Moon Over the Desert

I was invited to a friend's house this evening to photograph the full moon rising over the desert floor.  The house is situated a way up from the desert floor giving us a good view.  The only problem was the cold wind.  It was really blowing from a storm front that was on it's way out of our valley.  We had fun trying different settings and on a whim I took one of the moon over the infinity pool in the yard.  I wasn't expecting to get the star like quality of the moon but I thought it made for an interesting shot.

My Christmas Decorations

O.K. I'm finished decorating inside the house and almost done outside! Whew...what a job...and it takes so many days to do! Tomorrow I'm going to finish the rest of the outside. I wanted to do it this weekend as the weather man says next weekend was going to be cold, but I thought it was pretty darn cold out today! I came in and made a nice cup of hot chocolate! Mmmmm.....

So here are some pic's of the inside...
