Dear Santa,
If you find yourself in Bellingham, Washington on December 25th please bring the following:
- A Nikon D300 and an assortment of lenses
- Camera accessories including a tripod and camera bag
- Something Irish
- A personal trainer
- A personal chef
- A Land Cruiser
- First quarter tuition
I know it seems like a lot, but it never hurts to ask. You can’t receive if you don’t ask!
I will use these gifts for nice and not naughty. Well, mostly. It would probably depend on how you interpret “something Irish”.
Thank you!

Thanks, Heather. Although I think I want to amend this to say instead of something Irish, an actual plan ticket to Shannon airport. I think I need to be more specific with my ask fors.
I’m hoping to have that new Nikon by mid-January if “Santa” doesn’t bring it to me. 🙂
I really love the simplicity of this close-up shot; it’s beautiful.
That’s quite a list you’ve got going, too!
I read over the comments, and I think I’m with you on the camera. I got a Canon Rebel last Christmas to get me started, but I have noticed I prefer the Nikon shots I’ve been seeing (but I’m really grateful for what I have). 🙂
Good list. Hope Santa is nice to you. But I would ask for a Nikon D7000 instead of a D300. I recently got one (upgraded from the D60) and it’s been great so far.
Gasp. I’ve never looked into the D7000. I’ll have to do some comparison shopping and let Santa know! LOL.
Nice list – good to aim high! 🙂
Willie recently bought a Land Cruiser (his dream vehicle). Has to do a lot of off-road stuff for his work, so I guess it justifies the cost . . .
Why Nikon and not Canon? I like both, so am just interested why people choose one over the other.
I wouldn’t turn my nose up at a Canon if someone gave me one (or lent me one), they are good cameras. My first real camera was a Nikon though, and for a point and shoot, the color and clarity of the shots was amazing. If you go look at my ordinary things gallery, 90% were taken with it. I think it was just my first love, so that’s what I want. Simple.
I want a Land Cruiser because one day I want to drive around African deserts, and I need something I can rely on. I’d have said Land Rover, but chances are it’d break down on me. 🙂
Land Rovers: Willie’s first 4X4 was a Land Rover. He spent many weekends working on it!
By the way, Willie was in your area a couple of years ago for a forestry conference. He came back with a lot of photographs . . . of trees!
Well, we do have plenty of those here! I think that’s why I now have so many pictures of leaves.
It doesn’t hurt to ask. Wonder if I should…hmmmm
Why not? Couldn’t hurt!
