Welcome to the Wandering Camera linky party.  When I started this project in January of 2016, I had no idea where this photographic journey would take me.  I became more aware of my surroundings, and I found unexpected possibilities.  My wonderful friends inspired me to make new things which became the subject of my photography many a time.

I apologise for being late with the post this month.  I found myself seeking comfort in December and I let that urge continue a little longer.  I spent a lot of time at the dining table working on scores of things while watching the rain outside.  Comfort food, films, video games and other activities played a big part in our daily lives.  The December photos are definitely reflective of that.

Giveaway 

That wraps up my Wandering Camera project.  It has been wonderful sharing this project with you.  I can’t thank you enough for joining me,  sharing your photos, and boosting my confidence by leaving such lovely comments.  I want to do a little giveaway to celebrate.

Dixie’s Shop

My dear friend Dixie from Arranged Words is a fabulous painter.  If you don’t know her already, please pay her a visit.  She has very generously offered a painting of your choice from her shop.

I have grown very fond of my fingerless mitts.  They keep my hands warm while my fingers stay free to work the camera.  So I made a pair for the giveaway  (The box is not included).  They are of medium/large size.

Just leave a comment.  I will announce two winners, one for each prize, on the 19th of January.  

Now it’s your turn to share your photo posts. I always look forward to seeing them.
