For my friend Constantinos (cstathoulis) who most of you know had an accident on his bike just recently.. I found out earlier today, that he now has found out that he has a small fracture to his leg...

Constantinos and Helen had planned a Trip to Australia and New Zealand..which is now cancelled.. because of his leg... feeling somewhat low, understandably, Poor Costas!!.. we are all thinking of you...especially us girls here in New Zealand.. (lol)...

So here is a Santa photo I took while recently out with Janice and Pam.. (taken through shop glass window)... Hope he cheers you up a little my friend...

Take Care and Merry Christmas to you and Helen
From you Buddy Dawn.

p.s.Dont worry Aussie and Kiwiland are still down under waiting for your visit when you are well again.

Hello Dawn!

Sweet post to Constantinos. This is an heartbreaker. Cancelling a trip at such short notice before the departure date. But at least , he found it before his departure than during his trip. It could really have spoiled his stay.

This little post will heal a bit the pain , I am sure. Colorful Santa for the season. Well done.
Cheers!

Perry Ho ! Ho ! Hooter (^_^)

Very disapointing news for your friend, Dawn. However this heartfelt posting must help in cheering him up. Best wishes for a speedy recovery Constantinos.
Excellent sharp and colourful image Dawn.

Hey Dawn,

Great idea... I was thinking the same tonite, but saw your shots is out, so here I am to tag along.. hehehehe... I am sure this "handsome" Santa will ease his pain, bring him some Christmas presents? :P It is a bit disapointed but hey, as long as he get better, that's what we want, like you said, we are going to be here... So Constantinos and Helen, Merry Christmas and Happy new year. :)

Take care and get well soon. :D

Hi Dawn,
This is a very nice thought and dedication for our great friend Constantinos. It is very disapointing for him but I'm sure it is just a delay and he will get there later. But most important he did not get too much hurt in the accident.

Your photo is excellent with great lighting and the perfect christmas mood.

Regards,
Luc

This will certainly cheer him up. Very cute indeed. Well done with the lighting conditions. I noticed a yellow tinge to the image, so I did a workshop and used Auto Colour. I hope you like it.

"Papa Noel" (Santa Clause in Spain) is looking beautiful having an electrical candle in his hand. His icy beared is looking nice. Such a beautiful Christmas gift for a nice friend in Greece. Best compliments Dawn.

Thanks for sharing this nice image. Merry Christmas to you too.

Dawn..Dawn..Dawn... (^_^)

What can I say but thank you very much for your kind words! This really brought a smile to my face and has kicked up the Christmas spirit for Helen & myself! We seem to have lost the spirit from running all over the place with various paper work regarding my accident.

The good news is that the damage is minor and in time I'll get back to normal. As for the trip, well, that was a major let down but as long as you Kiwi girls still want me to come over... well I guess anything is possible!!! (^_-)

But most importantly, thank goodness I have my special person who really looks after me and keeps me smiling! You probably guessed who that might be...none other than My Helen!

Thanks Dawnie and the Kiwi Girls!
A smiling Greek Boy (^_-)
