12.12.12.....

 12~12~12 is just so pretty, no matter how you look at it.

{but where is his other leg?}

i've been bad about posting this week. sorry. let's just chalk it up to holiday "busyness." the good thing is, i think i have all my shopping done. granted, there's lots of wrapping to do now, but that's the easy {and always the most fun} part for me. i love wrapping, wrapping paper, vintage ribbon, boxes and tape. seriously, if i could get a job as a professional wrapper, i'd love it !!

i'm sharing 12 photos today from our trip to florida. get it? 12 photos on 12~12~12. wow, sometimes my creativity just blows me away. snort.

if you saw the news, you probably know that we got 3 inches of beautiful and very wet snow this past weekend. well, snow photos will be shown here on my blog at some point, but certainly not yet. i have to pace myself you know. for all of you who know me well, you're probably amazed right now seeing that i just used "snow" and "beautiful" in the same sentence. usually i can't even bring myself to say or write the word snow, let alone call it beautiful and i always try my best to go all winter long simply ignoring it. but who knows. maybe this year i'll even build a snowman. wow. crazy talk today!!

seagull dancing, while in flight.

we watched the pelicans dive for their lunch and laughed in sheer amazement at how they do what they do. {i only had my 80-200 lens with me. sad face, as i would have loved to have gotten some close-ups} also, for the very first time ever, we saw stings rays jumping in and out of the water while swimming to their next destination. it looked like they were flying. we googled it when we got home, just to make sure we weren't crazy...and we weren't. they actually do jump out of the water.

i hope that your 12~12~12 is treating you like a queen or a king today.
