As always, your pictures are special and elegant. How DO you get your cat to be photogenic? Love that photo on the mantle!
ReplyDeleteoh how Christmassy - we have alot of houses in our area this year who have really gone over board with the lights - so much so I feel it was probably what caused our mini powercut on our estate the other evening!!
ReplyDeleteLove the festive Museum Square!
ReplyDeleteVery nice photos and interesting subject. I went to town and the battery was gone. Sad, sad, sad.

Fabulous photos! I wish I had the life of that cat. Spoiled!
ReplyDeleteThe tree of lights is so beautiful. You took great photos. We have a similar tree of 7 storeys, but my camera can't take night scenes. So seeing yours makes me happy.
ReplyDeleteOH, I love the reindeer in the yard and the peep of the tree through the window! There's a subtlety there that plucks at the heart strings.
ReplyDeleteAh, this is so delightful. I love it when the town decorates. Your photos are wonderful and I really like the cat and the santa.
ReplyDeleteGordon, I wish I had Gray's life too - spoiled doesn't begin to describe him. He's sitting in the livingroom window at the moment, surveying the trees for chickadees and cardinals. Tough gig.
ReplyDeleteyours reflects the true spirit of this weeks FSO topic. great show of lights. have a great Christmas Week.

The little glimpse inside the window at someone else's tree is warm and beautiful. The lights in the square are picture perfect in scale and beauty. Santa on the mantle can't even compete with that hammy cat! =D This is a wonderful holiday shoot out, Elaine. Thank you for sharing your talents and photos!
ReplyDeleteHappy Holidays, from Barry and Linda with love.
I am with GingerV, so lovely!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is the cat, they so rule the nest don't they...gotta compete with the Santa right, made me laugh, and I needed that laugh!
I love that layered color Christmas tree! Not many people walking around there to admire the lights? maybe it's too cold?
ReplyDeleteI had to look closely at the cat and Santa picture because it looked like so much like the work of an artist I like (but, of course, whose name I can't remember at the momment). But it is a wonderful photo!
ReplyDeleteWhat fantastic photos, amazing Christmas tree. My favourite is your cat though
ReplyDeletePurina- the cat food people? How nice.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos, but Gray tops them all. Of course, cat photos are always tops.
Thanks Elaine. Hello to Geoff.
How beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYour cat is adorable!
