The Day
After Christmas
L
ast year, my wife and I spent the Christmas holidays
with my mother-in-law on our family farm. The week
before Christmas, I hunted pheasants with a friend from
Wyoming. Christmas Eve and Day I spent with family. For the
day after Christmas, I would need a new endeavor to keep away
the post-holiday blues. Photography was the cure.
