It's that time of year when the rooftops and plants are covered in frost in the morning.

I Heart Faces - Furry Faces
I don't have too many pictures of animals or pets, I dug in the archives and found this fun picture of a chipmunk we found with on a walk. On our way back from hiking to some waterfall, we stopped at a covered area with picnic benches. As we were getting ready to leave, we saw this chipmunk, so I started slowly inching over towards it, hoping I would get a good shot of it. Then my sister holds the zbar that I was eating to the chipmunk and he starts eating away and I snap away like crazy.

Week 3 - Christmas Foods & Tasty Treats
There are so many tasty things made this time of year: cookies, gingerbread houses, candy canes, and my personal favorite, eggnog. Mmmm, my mouth is watering! If you bake something yourself, you could share the recipe as well! Anything that is edible will work for this weeks theme. And remember, composition is an important key to getting a great food shot.

Cranberries + White Chocolate + Oats
For Thanksgiving, we bought a big bag of cranberries from Costco for cranberry sauce. We had tons left over, so I searched the internet for baked goods with cranberries in them, and came up with these cookies. They're pretty much oatmeal cookies with cranberries and I also added white chocolate chips.
The recipe called for dried cranberries, but just used the fresh ones. They taste really good, but the cranberries were a little sour. Next time I'll add some sugar, or something.
I found the recipe on the Food Network website.
I shot these photos out in the cold on our back deck. I plugged in the lights inside and brought them out on the deck, a few feet from the cookies, to get some nice bokeh.
Christmas Link-up: Christmas Lights
(I was having some technical difficulties with the linky not working properly, so if you had linked up before, you'll need to re-do that below.)
It's time for week two of A Very Merry Christmas Link-up! Remember, all linkys will be open all month, so keep joining with your photos!

Week 2 - Christmas Lights
Anything from on a Christmas tree, on a house, or anywhere else you can find some decorative lights. They don't have to be in focus, either. Some cool bokeh shots would count as well.
