The holidays are here! I thought it would be good to get an update out before we all get so overwhelmed that it wouldn't get done or read at all. This week's images are all from trips that I took in the second half of this year.

I have some personal news that I'd like to mention as well. I've decided to pursue my dream of running a nursery, so this spring I am opening a mailorder business called Bon Vivant Nursery. Let me know if you'd like to be on the newsletter and/or catalog mailing list! (Just reply to this message and I'll get it).

I'd also like to remind any publishers out there that I can now license images. My insurance policy used to limit for-profit activities involving my photos, but I'm happy to say that's no longer the case. If you're interested in licensing a photo, let me know! I'll donate any proceeds towards hort.net.

Have a great holiday season and a wonderful New Year!
