Today I’ll be going out and doing a little more Christmas shopping…to get the packages ready that need to be mailed out soon. Tomorrow we’ll probably put up our tree and do our decorating. I have 2 more work-related parties coming up this week, more shopping for local people, our Christmas cards to address…but I’m not really behind or feeling pressured yet…and hope to avoid that feeling.
So today I took a little walk around the yard and the immediate ‘hood and got photos of some of nature’s ornaments combined with nature’s lights. I know some of you are in the midst of “real” winter. This is pretty much what winter in Phoenix looks like.
How are your holiday preparations and festivities going? Are you in the mood? I’m not really but I’m hoping it will hit soon…

Yup, that’s how I remember Christmas in Phoenix, plus a Saguaro.

Comment by Kara December 8, 2012 @ 9:25 pmChristmas doesn’t feel real this year. Hubby is on the road and grown kids have families of their own … your photo sense is great, hopefully the road will bring me to your neighborhood with time to pause in the next year!!

Comment by Don December 9, 2012 @ 9:15 am[...] So I find myself with a few “free” hours, or unscheduled time and open up WordPress on my computer. Wordpress is one of those things that I have just not had the time for much this year. I read a few of the blogs I follow, and two of those gave me the inspiration to linger a while; to write, and to freshen up my page a bit. Thanks Jesse for this post, all your work is just wonderful. “What we are made for” and Candice for taking the time to share. “Natures Ornaments” . [...]

Wishing you a bright beginning to your week!

Candace, winter looks pretty charming and colorful in your neck of the woods
Snowy here…my hands got pretty cold out shooting today, even with mitts on.
