While meeting with a former colleague at the house, he spotted a red-tailed hawk land on a nearby tree. I briefly paused our conversation to get a photo of this handsome fellow. He has been a frequent visitor, but thus far, I have never had time to wait and watch as he hunts. We have an abundance of squirrels that would make for a nice meal, and at some point in the future, I hope to capture that action.

I finally got around to designing our Holiday Card and placing the order. It will feature a photo of the family from our visit to the Lakes District in England and another of Jeanine and me during our southern road trip on the beaches of Pawley Island, South Carolina.
