Dilophosaurus wanders a winter wonderland.

#DailyDilophosaurus #Dilophosaurus #Winter #Snow #Ice #WinterGarden #Dinosaurs
A green Dilophosaurus with brown spots stands on a flower box covered in snow and ice at sunset. They are bathed in a golden light as the rest of the backyard moves into a blue shadow. A snow topped gazebo is in the back right, while the branches of a rhododendron bush are before it. An above ground pool is in the back left. The rest of the gardens and lawn are covered in snow, ice, and shadows.

A green Dilophosaurus with brown spots is held by a little humanoid Christmas elf wearing a green tunic, red and white striped stockings, red and white buttons on their tunic, and a yellow poof ball by their face. Santa Claus inspects Dilophosaurus as a new arrival before assigning them to their duty. All are atop a green winter throw.

Dilophosaurus can't get these lights to work correctly.

#DailyDilophosaurus #Dilophosaurus #Christmas #ChristmasTree #Dinosaurs
A green Dilophosaurus with brown spots stands before a tall, plush Christmas tree figure with a smile and two rosy cheeks, that is holding a red and white striped candy cane. The tree is topped with a yellow star and has three plush lights in red, yellow, and blue. Both stand on a piano keyboard as they help out around the studio.

Dilophosaurus builds a snowman.

#DailyDilophosaurus #Dilophosaurus #Snow #Snowman #Snowball #Winter #Sunset #Dinosaurs
A green Dilophosaurus with brown spots stands with a large snowball and continues to roll it through fresh snowfall. A bright, golden sun hangs over them as the snow begins to melt. Trees covered with a thin layer of snow and ice glisten in the background as the shadows of nearby homes and bushes become shadowed in the background.

What I’m wearing to the Bluesky Christmas Party.
Me in 2007 with an historically inaccurate horned Viking helmet, a large pair of old lady sunglasses, and fully tangled in a web of unplugged Christmas lights while feigning a scream.

Jack Frost nips at Dilophosaurus' nose.

#DailyDilophosaurus #Dilophosaurus #Snow #Snowfall #Storm #Winter #Weather #Dinosaurs
A green Dilophosaurus with brown spots sits in the freshly fallen snow on a black, vigils chair. Freshly fallen snow comes down all around the scene as the storm continues. The background of the house is painted green and the block for the external power outlets sits securely shut for the winter season.

Kicking off the Christmas, Yule, and Hanukkah season with this gem from the early 1950s of my mom at her first visit to Santa Claus when she was either two or three (she doesn't remember which so it's either 1952 or '53).

#Christmas #Vintage #VintagePhotograph #Santa #SantaClaus
A black and white photo from either 1952 or 1952 of my mom as a little toddler dressed in suspenders, a white shirt, and a hat on Santa's lap looking utterly terrified at the big man himself. Santa is dressed in his red suit, long beard, and signature hat as he tries to calm her.

Dilophosaurus sneaks some pumpkin pie before dinner.

#DailyDilophosaurus #Dilophosaurus #Dessert #PumpkinPie #Thanksgiving #Dinosaurs

Things that are curious, angry, and shocked.

#ThingsThatLookLikeFaces
A wooden post on an end table that appears to have a face consisting of two darker spots for eyes and a large line as a nose looking outward with bewilderment. A radio is behind the post and behind that, a hutch and electrical outlet. A package of Cajun french fries with the one in focus appearing to have an angry, furrowed brow made of a stray piece of seasoning. All are inside of a white container. The handle of a dry mop with a green top and a button to adjust the length of the tool appearing as a mouth wide with shock while two rivets create the illusion of eyes. It stands against a brown, wooden door.
