Santa – Eskildoodle Photos and Feelings

Gnome Aglow

It has been a great holiday season but soon it will be time to put the decorations away and get on with a new year. In the meantime Santa Gnome is catching some last rays as the sun sets on the season. #gnome #santa #holidayseason #sunset

Christmas Cookies

Better hurry, Santa, these cookies may not last! #christmascookies #christmas #santa

She Who Watches

Her name is Tsagaglalal, “She Who Watches,” and she maintains her vigil along the Columbia River. Long ago, Coyote, the trickster, had climbed up to cliffs where the chief resided to watch over her people. He told her that change was coming to her people and then turned her to stone so she could continueContinue reading “She Who Watches”

Naughty Week Again!

Christmas is past and the new year has not yet begun. Santa and his elves are all worn out from the holiday rush, and it is too early to get on the naughty list for 2024. It’s Naughty Week! YAY! But wait a minute, my wife, Fairy, has connections with elves and is very goodContinue reading “Naughty Week Again!”

Santa Pause

While going about daily duties, I just had to pause to take this photo of Jolly Old Saint Nick. It brought a smile to my face, and I didn’t even have to be all that good. #christmas #santaclause #santa #jollyoldsaintnick

O Christmas Train!

This colorful train chugged its way across a local mall en route to Christmas cheer for kids. I couldn’t help but wonder, what if Santa used a train to deliver presents instead of reindeer and a sleigh. But then it dawned on me; no, that would never fly. #train #choochoo #santa #christmas

Red, Green, and In Between

The day after Thanksgiving, I started searching for goldfinches which will likely arrive ahead of Santa sometime between now and Christmas. Instead, we were treated to the red, gold, black, and brown of two cardinals, one female, and the other male, set against a green background. Okay, I’m ready for the Christmas season now. AsContinue reading “Red, Green, and In Between”

Naughty Week

Poor Santa! Christmas is past and the new year has not yet begun. That means people can be naughty and not worry about finding a lump of coal in their stocking next Christmas, and there is nothing he can do about it. Maybe he should just enjoy the well earned rest. So enjoy this “NaughtyContinue reading “Naughty Week”

Santa, Frosty, and Jack

During a recent chilly morning walk we saw Santa, Frosty and Jack’s Frost. While we didn’t actually see Jack, he left his handiwork on the shivering shingles on the house nearby as well as on several others, and from the looks of the weather report, he is far from done. #santa #frostythesnowman #jackfrost

Out of Luck and a Pickup Truck

Like Santa, this pickup is a classic and it is loaded with goodies. Unlike Santa, it is powered by horsepower under the hood, not a team of reindeer. Either way it looks like both will able to get their jobs done, unlike us, who arrived at the Peddlers Wagon in Eustis, Florida, on the dayContinue reading “Out of Luck and a Pickup Truck”
