This guy will be very busy soon so I wanted to get his picture up now. I'm using that title because that was always my favorite reindeer because his name meant "thunder" in German. I'm of German heritage on my Mother's side and my grandmother told me the meaning of his name when I was very young and I never forgot.

I like Blitzen, and his great rack. Can't say the same for the frame border which is brighter than everything else and is distracting. Particularly where it cuts across the rack.

Donnerwetter is German too and is a 'relative' from 'blitz', lol.

Blitzen (probably a nephew from Rudolph) will need some more patience Kathy, as Santa isn't here yet. After his arrival they will travel through the air with the speed of a 'blitz' and with the sound of 'donner'.

Thanks for this fine image.

Regards, Cornelius.

You realize grannie was pulling your leg. It actually means 'one who is deep into their cups'. :-)
A good capture of Blitzen, Kathy. Nice clarity and colours in the photo.

Now I see that our Wendell is pulling your leg too !
"Blitzen" is plural for "storm" HOWGH
But of course I might be wrong since this is over 30 years ago that I was learning German LOL
Good for Blitzen in any case to remain at a stand by - with the harness or whatever he has on his face. LOL
Lovely animal and sweet portrait, Kathy dear.
