Ringing in the New Year. . .

These red jingle bells are attached to an old fashioned sled outside our front door. They'll probabley stay there til springtime. The temps are dropping below zero here tonight!

This is one of the first pictures I've taken with my new Canon 40D (Christmas present from my DH). I increased the green saturation in photoshop 'cause the evergreens were a bit faded. How does it look? I'm looking forward to using my new camera, lens and flash. Any advice?

Happy New Year and I hope it's warmer where you are!

Beautiful bells! We are warm now, but a cold front is on its way.

Love the colors in this photo. Very festive. The photo looks pixelated on my monitor, for some reason though.

Doubt we're warmer, but I love those bells and the green looks good to me, natural and not too oversaturated. Congrats on your new camera!

I love these colors. Makes me sad that I've already taken all Christmas decorations down. It looks so blah in here. Looking forward to getting to know you better through POTD>
