My son and I have been intrigued by the much-hyped new movie from James Cameron, Avatar. Today we were able to escape the rain and yet another round of flooding to see it. I was so very glad we did, and look forward to going again. Although the plot line was basically a western in which the Indians are the heroes, not the cowboys, it is still well worth the price of admission. We saw the film in 3D and the special effects are beyond bar-raising, but to me the most stunning thing about the movie was the attention to detail used in creating the life on an alien world. Much of the film takes place in an amazing forest with an incredible array of plants and animals. I did not want these scenes to end, and several were so visually beautiful they made my eyes water. Though not a perfect film; gardeners, nature lovers and tree huggers will not be disappointed either with the scenery, nor with the ultimate message.
(In the spirit of full disclosure, I have not received any compensation for this mini-review and paid the full $11 x 2 plus a $2 convience fee for an on-line purchase. However, as I stated before I would be open to paid endorsements - hint, hint, nudge, nudge)

Christmas Cards
I hope all of you who find your self house bound today, due to the weather, did not have plans to get last minute shopping or errands run. So far here in this part of Tidewater, we just have cold rain and wind while the rest of the state is getting snow, and I am more than OK with that.
Happy holidays everyone!
