Yule

 It is time to move into a Christmas series. I do this for my readers, who enjoy this sort of thing. I, on the other hand, dread this time of year, and am in a depression that will only lift after the Christmas music stops. This happens every year.

I took shots in late November around the Glebe neighbourhood, where some people had put up decorations early.


In the first half of December, snow had fallen, and I took more shots in the Glebe one night.


This is more my speed, on a front porch close to home.


More Christmas decorating.


I finish with a daytime shot of Abbotsford House in the Glebe, with decorations in the windows. This 19th century farmhouse today is home to a seniors centre.

  10. Lovely shots! I haven’t figured out when dinosaurs joined Christmas. Were they at the manger? Perhaps one of them was stabled there with the donkey? So confusing.
