Now Proclaim!!

Angels, from the realms of gory, Wing your flight o'er all the earth;

Ye who sang creation's story, Now proclaim Messiah's birth!

Shepherds, in the fields abiding, Watching o'er your flocks by night,

God with man is now residing, Yonder shines the infant light!

Sages, leave your contemplations, Brighter visions beam afar,

Seek the great Desire of nations, Ye have seen His natal star!

Saints before the altar bending, Watching long in hope and fear,

Suddenly the Lord, descending, In His temple shall appear:

Come and worship, come and worship,

Worship Christ the newborn King.

May He abide in your heart in peace and hope.  Merry Christmas!!

Living life.
Capturing life.

Shoot the Dishes

~My photo gallery~  Christine Anne at Smugmug  ~My photo gallery~

Since my last post was about food photography, I figured I'd post about the dishes that hold the food!  Over at  my family blog, I participate in a weekly meme called Tea Talk.  I was inspired by other ladies to photograph my (and others') teacups.

Love my Gibson everyday china!

Here are a few of my favorites.

 Tea at Lori's house!

Lori's favorite tea cup.  It suits her perfectly!

There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour

dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea.

2010 In Review -- No People in These Shots!

~My photo gallery~  Christine Anne at Smugmug  ~My photo gallery~

I have loved my venture into the blogging world this year!  I used to keep a journal, in which I wrote almost every day.  With the arrival of my babies, I gradually got away from keeping those journals.  I'm so glad I have had the opportunity to return to my journal-writing roots!  And it's even easier on the computer.  Typing 95+ words per minute helps a lot, too.  :)

One thing that I'm so thankful to the Lord for is photojournalism.  With my digital camera, telling stories with photos has become a snap, and I think it makes the story so much more interesting.  I am, after all, a visual person, so photographs bring stories to life for me.  Enjoy just a few of these photographs, taken mostly for illustrations in my blogs throughout the year.

One of my first food shots, and an all-time favorite

Blueberry breakfast bake

Harvest from my garden

Thanksgiving pie--more whipped cream than pie?!

Okay, I personally just gained five pounds.  How about some non-food images?

OK, so there are people in this one--the guys carrying the tree to the car

A Happy New Year to you!!

Living life.
Capturing life.
