Christmas Blossoms - 2012

Excellent night shots, Brent!


Here's one I took at a townhouse subdivision near where we live:

More railing decorations!

The nicest one I've seen so far!
This is at a small outdoor shopping mall north of us.

3) One at North Hills Mall.

Miscellaneous shots.



1) Centerpieces for sale at the Farmer's Market

2) J C Penneys was a disappointment this year decorations-wise. Nothing but small, cheap cartoonish decorations hanging from the ceiling like random snowflakes and cross-eyed reindeer.
But the entrance to their Christmas merchandise section was nice enough to justify a photo.

3) Nice door display elsewhere at North Hills Mall.

Thanks, Snowflake.

(The little puppy looks real in the photo. A nice touch.)

Beautiful shots, Crown and Snowflake!

I have a few photos from Saturday to upload. I took about 24 but very few turned out due to the fact that it was dusk and much of them were of Christmas lights throughout downtown Ottawa.

Took this when I was in Edinburgh a couple of weeks ago. It's one of the posh department stores - the kind that you look around but rarely buy anything in or, if you do, it's only so you can get a bag with the name of the store on it!!!

My goodness, Maureen. That is absolutely beautiful. Thank you for sharing. It must have been quite the experience!

Unfortunately, for Crown, Spark Street has changed the lamppost decor this Season. Last year, as you may recall, the lampposts were black with beautiful green wreaths sitting on top. This year, they went for a more modern look. Compare the following!

My apologies for the blurriness. We have misplaced the camera charger somewhere in the apartment. I resorted to taking photos on my phone. It was a little difficult. Hope you enjoyed!
