I miss last week (which I hated to do) and so here is what you would have seen last week:
These our the Christmas lights on our fence and my mom's fence next door. Not the best quality photos as I have trouble shooting night scenes with my camera but I think they will work.
This is the Chain link fence at our house. See that big snowman? Someone stole it a couple of nights before Christmas. We replaced it with a different one but it sure makes me upset that people feel they have to steal from other people and especially at Christmas.
My mom's front yard and side fence. - We love Christmas lights!
This is in her back yard. It's where all the old light sets got that don't quite work right anymore.
And for a different view of the same lights/fence....
Pretty wild looking!
Wishing everyone a very HAPPY NEW YEAR! - Thanks for a great year of blogging with you. - See you back in 2016.
I love seeing all the lights at Christmas and you and your mom have done a great job!

Wow! You go all out. So bright and happy. It is so darn hard to get great photos of Christmas lights, I know, I tried many times and failed.

Beautiful Christmas scenes. Sorry to hear someone was a Grinch.
ReplyDeleteGreat lights! Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteWhaow! What great lights! I love it when people celebrate Christmas with outdoor lights. Sorry to hear that some low-life stole your snowman. And how lovely to have snow for Christmas. We've been basking in the warmest winter temperatures since records began, which is starting to make me worry: all those animals and plants that need to hibernate are waking up way too soon, which can't be good. All the best, Bonny
ReplyDeleteI do love them, specially the wild looking one!
ReplyDeleteGreat creativity in the last shot. Happy New Year!!
ReplyDeleteFestive in spite of the thief's mean and selfish act. Love that you turned right around and got another snowman. There didn't seem to be so many lights around this year. Probably because it was raining so much for days on end during the light hanging season. I know Rich didn't want to climb a ladder in the rain and wind. We hung a big, bright, pretty snowflake at the front porch, and with an evergreen swag it looked inviting and Christmasy.
ReplyDeleteI missed this, during my on again off again blogging and commenting. it looks great, even the back yard left overs looks good to me. 2 houses on our street have that snow man. sorry yours was stolen
