Happy Christmas: Beatrix Potter 1890

Rare original watercolor by Beatrix Potter, 1890

A happy Christmas to you.

My sentiments exactly.

I blogged about this bunny family gathered around the table to enjoy their Christmas pudding several years ago. I worked on the old photo so it would stand out more than the faded original in the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. View the provenance and the museum's copy here. I love the little chairs and the way the bunnies are sitting in them. And those bibs!

Pink Fog at My Cottage This Morning

I woke up early this morning and my bedroom was enveloped in pink. I hopped out of bed, grabbed my Nikon, and captured this rare pink fog. This photo is right out of the camera with no filters. It was probably the result of the refracted color of the sunrise bouncing off the morning fog. It didn't last long before turning to the normal gray. I'm happy I woke up just in the nick of time. Maybe I'll have purple rain later (smile).
