Photo of the Day 359/365

Spiral staircase dressed up for the Holidays

 The first photo is from our recent Yuletide Tour of Winterthur. The museum and grounds went all out, as they usually do, to celebrate the Christmas season. There were Christmas trees everywhere and decorations abounded. The grounds, in winter, are mostly devoid of color (with the exception of some purple berries) ut the buildings were warm and welcoming. 

 

 

 

 


 

 

Christmas Sunrise

The second photo is from this morning - I looked out from our dining room and saw the sun coming up through the trees and could not pass up the shot.  

 

Merry Christmas and
Happy Holidays to all!

My Most Treasured
Christmas Ornament

Monday Closeup

I took this photo last evening after trying to capture something meaningful at our Christmas eve get-together and at our church services. I captured many good shots but this one, taken late was the one that meant the most. This ornament is likely over 70 years old and still spinning. I remember having it on the tree as a child with it's made, a pink one.  My sister has the pink one and I gave this. I remember good times at Christmas, as a child. I wish for peace for all, this Christmas.

Red Tinged Clouds over the Trees Photo of the Day 345/366 I took the photo last week on the way home. It was a wonderful sunset sky and I couldn't pass up taking a number of shots while it was available. These clouds with the red edges from the setting sun were a wonderful sight over these trees just behind the rolling field in the foreground. A nice evening sky for sure.

    Photo of the Day 307/365  Autumn Colors on Display by the Creek This photo was taken last weekend on our mini-vacation. We were on our way home and happened to find a pull-off - in the rain - and I took some photos by this creek. The colors just seemed to pop in the damp drizzly weather but the camera couldn't quite capture the bright colors. I didn't want to over-edit it but this is close to what I experienced that moment.

Tracks into the Sunset Photo of the Day 342/366 This photo was taken last evening on the way home from work. I took a number of photos and could not quite get the sun peeking through  the clouds. This is the closest I got. I love the colors in the sky and the reflections in the railroad tracks. I've taken this scene before, but it always makes me think of life moving on and on, rolling into the sunset of life - as I get older, those thoughts become more frequent.
