first things first. Thanks 2yous for correcting desert to dessert (as it "should" be ;) I repeat...yumyumyum
gn2, I clicked your link and then hit the back button :D Is He really bad?

It's so late, but I'm back with two pics. They are just "okay" shots. Oh well, it's a start.
When I took the one picture with "All those lights," the guy happened to be standing outside. He told me he was Not done yet ( o_O o_O ).
He was very proud indeed. I admire his patience and holiday spirit and I told him so. But, all those lights on a small piece of cake (property).....amazing! Music Too!
What do ya think about the snowman in the other photo, he looks kinda "tipsy" heh? Wonder what he's been sipping (only his decorator knows :lol:

Tonight on the TV, I snapped a pic of the famous Rockefeller Center NY "Tree Lighting." I will try to get posting that tamale :P Oh, so purdy

Hoping these pics aren't too big. Why oh why can't I change the size of my iPad photo's? Arg!
Guess I'll see what happens. So, I took these the other night (12/5) right off my TV screen. No, I wasn't in NYC this year for the "Lighting of the Tree," but I have been there in the past. If you ever come to NYC at this time of year, it's soo worth going and all the entertainment puts ya in the Holiday mood. Okay, let me give these pics a go (fingers crossed).

Wah......:( :cry: They're all too Big!

WhiteNoise -
If you are having issues with pic size and are running a Windows environment, download pixresizer (http://bluefive.pair.com/pixresizer.htm). Easy to use, does a nice job, and the price is right.

I'm working on getting the antlers on Rusty for a photo shoot, but I'm not sure that I want to risk the limbs...

Fun idea for a thread!
On my scoot, getting there is WAY more than half the fun!

Sorry folks, I really don't want to clutter up our Holiday thread chatting about my iPad photo woes, I'm just annoyed with Not being able to resize and share the photo's I've taken with my iPad3.
George I appreciate your trying to help (that's you :) by sharing the link. I'm a bit confused over the mention of running Windows environment. I have an iPad3, it's an Apple product, would that work for me? A note about Moi, I Am Not the smartest tool in the shed when it comes to hi-tech computer wa-hoo talk, so please try to help me on an elementary level like: abc, 123 (oh soo embarrassed now :oops:)
So tell me George, would pixresizer work on an iPad3? Any other if not this one?
Oh, good luck with Rusty's strike-a-pose photo-shoot, ya might want to buy a pair of those elbow height safety gloves first :lol: Woof!

Well, I'm an old DOS/Windows PC kind of guy. I did, however, find https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/auto-re ... d641931767 It appears to do what needs to be done, and the price seems to be right. Good luck - I expect with some searching, you will find something for the job if this one doesn't work out.

Can Somebody here fill in with a Holiday pic in the meantime? C'mon PCX'ers! Let's get in the Spirit!!! :P Get those cellphones, cameras and "good for nothing" iPads out! Today is the 8th already o_O Holy Smokes!!
(Place Lightbulb emoticon here) HEY! Is anyone decorating their scoot this year and parading round town? Got music to go along? Ever do it?
Back in Florida I rode around with various size vinyl decals on my med. Givi screen, so ezy to do. Self stick snowflakes, Santa, wreaths, "you know what I'm talkin' about" (said with New Yawk accent). I lived in a huge community and cruised around at 20-25mph. Gosh it was fun. I met a lot of folks that day. We shared smiles :P Oh, and my Santa hat? Look at me! No faceshield 8)

I hear my name being called......Time to Decorate out in the freezing temps! :o Burrr....& It's gonna snow!!

Holiday pic? Definitely!


(Warning: below content humorous but potentially slightly offensive)
I'm going to share with you the Southern tradition of playing "Reindeer Games!" I used to partake in this game every year during my childhood, particularly to one neighbor in general who was a combination of amused, offended, and hysterical with laughter each time it happened. They still don't know it was me all those years... Anyways, how-to:

1. Find a neighbor with a good sense of humor, and more than one lighted reindeer in their yard. This will do nicely:

2. Assist the male reindeer with mounting the female reindeer. These things have to make more reindeer somehow!

3. Step back and enjoy your handiwork, then run or drive away before you're noticed:

4. (optional) When they notice and put the reindeer back to normal, put a significantly smaller reindeer on their setup. We did this one year, and the neighbor lost it with laughter. She was sending photos to all her friends. :lol:
