Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ On Christmas Day, we had Christmas lunch at Portsea Hotel, Mornington Peninsula.
While we were outside, after a brilliant lunch, enjoying the views across Port Phillip Bay, I turned to see Santa quietly coming down the stairs!

Haiku Bones Prompt #3 ~ Regret

Last glimpse of Santa
A touch of old fantasy
Last glimpse of Christmas

If there's one regret
Christmas sadly spins on by
A moth round a flame

Hi Gemma, this is neat! I am glad you got a picture him in his after duty time.
Happy RT! Thanks for peeking in on my old cars.

I did a haiku for Haiku Bones last week, I don't know if I will this week or not. I see yours is posted. Yours are nice.
..
Ah, ah. Weird to see Santa in warm weather. The idsguise seems more obvious.
somehow, I like that last glimpse of Santa. I like your Haiku Gemma.
I like the Santa shot! Poor guy he must be hot!
...see what is in front of my house!
Sometimes you can see Santa when you least expect it ;)
nice shot..just when he thought he could sneak out unnoticed lol! i love Portsea..Happy New Year :)
After all the chimneys the aging Santa has had to endure, leaving after delivering presents vis the stairs. It is easier on his tired bones to let gravity work in his favor for once. Nice capture, and Happy New Year!
Nice haiku and photo...so exotically sun-drenched as we had a white Christmas over here!
Oh that is a good picture...the last glance of Santa 2009. Thanks for sharing!
Salsa and Tomato sauce
I didn't see Santa but the cookies I left for him were gone when I arose! Nice haiku!
Very nice...I love the photo! It seems so strange to see Santa in the heat. lol
Aha, Santa caught in action!
My Ruby Tuesday. Wishing you and your family a happy new year!
White Sunlight christmas in the antipodes.
And another thing I'd love to see - I hear the moon phases are reversed from the anti-antipodes (podes?) - starting with the New Moon the white part is on the right and waxes until the Full Moon. I just learned that for you, the waxing moon starts on the left. Cool. -_-
Like Elvis 'Santa has just left the building.
that's a great capture....Santa's quiet time. It's kinda sad too. Happy holidays!
I have red banners.
Well, now we know where he goes to rest after his big sleigh run!
Now he is ready to settle down for a nice time with Mrs Clause
cool! u have captured Santa perfectly :)

Kind of hard to imagine, Santa and bikini ladies.
Wish I were there.
Sitting indoors with two pair of socks and thick felt slippers, still with ice cold toes!
I do understand Santa moving to warmer region!
From Felisol
Santa clause got lots of times to have a long vacation after Christmas...Happy RT! Mine is up.

Now I know where Santa goes when he ditches the reindeer! Good one!
Where is Santa going next?
I think Santa is on his way going back to the North Pole :D
Ruby Tuesday
