  • Hipster Nativity 2.0

    Wella gave the nativity a wonderful upgrade. The background includes lights and snow. Up front we have the very plush Faux bear skin rug. Just behind the bovine is an organic Christmas tree. Thank you Wella!

    On the first lap, all are happy. Gareth gives me a smile, quick wave, then gets down to business. I love these shots with the submarine fins in the background. The rain started just as the race got going. It was light and did not bother the contestants.

    Lap two and Gareth is still smiling. That is Joel right next to him. Joel teaches science at Salmon Bay and knows Étienne very well. I also got a shot of Isabel.
