>>Loved your recent photos. A beautiful mix of sunshine and gloom! As always, I like to think about the daylight hours that have started getting longer again. Always boosts my mood to pass the winter solstice. We have an over-crowded house for the holidays. My son and his family are visiting from Japan. But it is going well. Tonight all our friends come over for supper. It will be nuts but great at the same time. Hope you, your family and fans have a great Christmas. Mike (Ottawa)

>>Hi Tony - Merry Christmas. Thank you for your daily photos of The Lakes - they are so beautiful. We had an unusual frost one night in November. All the leaves were touched by magic. Roseanne
