Barack Obama on Flickr - Photo Essays - TIME

Time Magazine has named Barack Obama as "Person of the Year" and the current issue has a collection of Obama photos that were uploaded to Flickr, the website of millions of photos... At Time's website, you can view many of these photos and take a look at the artists who made them. Some can be downloaded and saved as wallpaper for your desktop, if you want to go that far! Check it out. All in all, the Time website has loads of other photos...even one called Crazy Christmas traditions...

Started out a pretty perfect winter day this morning... the sun came up over the mountains for a postcard picture!
Christmas day was all good! We opened gifts with Sonia and Annette over the phone.. someday we'll get Skype all sorted out ,then we could see and hear whats going on!
Emil and I donned our X country skiis and played Santa as we skiied to the neighbours dolling out and receiving Christmas cheer! It was snowing like crazy out as we made our way along Erindale road to Pete and Ellis, then back to Deb and Ashly's and then across the beach to Mike and Alissa's, then back home again, home again, home again...yes, we were like snow bunnies by then! My new wickaway socks and Gators and Gloves worked perfect! Thank you Sonia and Annette for the great presents! Once the turkey was in the oven,w e hit the hot-tub and thawed out for an hour or so! Dinner was quiet, and yummy, but afterwards, Deb and Ashly and their visitors, Tracy and Steve , came over for a few drinks... All in all it was a pleasant day, tho Christmas isn't the same without our beautiful daughters and grandaughters... It won't be long before summer arrives and we can be a big happy family again...at our house!
Love you all and hope to see or talk to many of you over the next few days.
I heard from Morgan that Ian is getting it figured out, that the pony is his and will be coming to Edmonton in the spring...
In the meantime, Joyce took off for Kamloops this morning and should be about there now... Hope so before he snow and weather kicks in...
Happy holidays to everyone..It has been a slice! Lynn comes out tomorrow, when we will hit the x-country trail on the beach again!

Hi Correna and Karen... I hope this does the trick... Turn off the music in my playlist, so you can hear Morgan talk... if all else fails one can view it in large format on the computer... or connect the computer to the tv somehow...Other than that, check out the download...it should be possible. He's a very cute pony. I can upload the pics to a web album also.Ok, this must be quite a huge video becasue it is taking a loooooong time to upload. Now that it is done, I'll see what else can be done with it, but not tonight. I can upload the photos to a webalbum tomorrow night... good luck, or we can try something else. B.
