Winding down the year...

With the hope that you are not already weary of the holiday, I am posting a series of images from Christmas. For me, it all officially began on Dec. 24th and ends on Epiphany, which is Jan. 6. Most outdoor images were taken after a spectacularly beautiful snowfall which lasted several days and then disappeared. Enjoy! :)

Thank you for visiting! Your comments and suggestions are very much appreciated.

Love the 'naturalness' here - for me, it wins every time.

@Ronnie 2¢: Thank you, Ronnie. I had in mind for a few years now to take a picture of this tree. It's on one of my main routes, and is the first to be lit for the season by the people who own that home. The tree used to be smaller, of course, and one year was damaged by a storm. Hence it leans a bit, and is no longer perfectly shaped. But so it goes with everything!
