Catching up and jumping the gun at the same time

And what I mean by that is I am catching up on posting images, but jumping the holiday gun by posting THESE images:

Yes, I took that last picture practically in the dark.

I am determined to get all caught up in here by the end of this weekend.  That means a couple of field trips and one new painting that I can think of so go make some popcorn and get comfortable - there are lots of pictures coming.
