This is a great photo which really puts me in the Christmas mood and make want to go back to Norway for Christmas:) What I really like about this photo is that it is so relaxed and you don't get the feeling that it has been arranged in any way. Lovely framed. Jeg skulle jo egentlig ha skrevet dette på norsk men jeg ble litt revet med.
God Jul:)

    Tusen takk for hyggelige kommentarer, og selvfølgelig ogsaa for de 5+. Jeg ble veldig overrasket over aa se at noen kan skrive Norsk. Det er selvføgelig et probem med de tre siste bokstavene i alfabetet vaart, og jeg fant fort ut at det var umulig aa unngaa dem. Jeg har derfor brukt ae, oe og aa i stedet. Det er godt aa hoere at de liker fotografiet mitt. Det var kjempesurt og kaldt den dagen det ble tatt, og hendene ble til slutt baade roede aa blaa. Det er noe spesielt med Julen her i Norge, og jeg gleder meg som et barn hvert aar. En rikgtig God Jul til deg ogsaa.

Thomas is one Blessed boy! He has a magical grandma! Cara, this is beyond dreamy! As soon a I opened it on my computer I was drawn in by the magic! Lighting, POV, clarity, amazing details and winter wonderland background.
You are Flawless! Bravo!

Wow, Avmurray you are really teasing me with these photographs today. Her sweater and the colors bring me back to my visits once again. I am going to have to do what you told me earlier and check out flights once again. Beautiful photo and I look forward to more.

Annie, love the texture and look of your background. This is the smallest goat I have ever seen. Is it a special breed?
The girl in her red next to the goat make a perfect pair. It is as though you have taken her and the goat and created an endearing postcard. Very fine work.
It sounds as though your husband and you provided Thomas with an incredibly wonderful day that he will remember. Bren

    I could feel your happiness in your image Annie and I am so glad, Enchanting days with a child you love are few and far between at a certain point in life. They are moments you store away and treasure. Bren

    You are so right. Lucky for me we spend a lot of time with Thomas and can follow every step of his development. He is so funny. When I was cooking the sunday dinner he was going to help me, and told me how important it was to work as a team. LOL Little does he know about how much longer things take with his helping hands, but of course I tell him how clever he is and how much I appreciate his help.

    Children are the best Annie. I am glad you to have him as much as you do. Bren

A nicely worked image that could have been just a record shot.I like the way they stand out from the background with their bright colours and fine detail. Pity you told me her face was painted the red glow looks natural for the cold weather. Mitch

This is nice, would make a lovely Christmas card as it looks festive.
Your editing works well.I like the pose and the made up face of the girl, the red accessories are a bonus. The colour of the goat is beautiful.
An enjoyable picture, thank you for sharing.Your notes were of interest.
