The Ornament

I went to the Woodstock Christmas Jubilee Parade of Lights the other evening.  The temperature dropped after dark and we did not stay for the tree lighting.  However, I got a few shots around town before dark and some of the parade.

Light Globes

I have this spot in my kitchen / dining room that I have taken over.  I put lights along it and try to change them with the seasons.  These are from last spring / summer.

The Blue Door

Occasionally driving around, I find something that I have need to stop and take a photo of because it is compelling to me.  That was how I ran across these teal painted doors the other day.  I actually was attracted to the building because the huge painted billboard on the side and then saw these near the back of the building.  I could not pass up the contrasting colors and I really like the old weathered look.

The Little Piggy

It seems to me that most people take car of cars as if they are just a method of getting from one point to another.  Now, there are exceptions to that, but I hardly ever see a motorcycle that has been treated in the same way that I see cars.  I found this little piggy somewhere in Tennessee a couple years back.  Of course, it was well taken care of and I’d have to say it probably screamed wee all the way home.

Pink Tulip

This was another shot I got from the Smith Gilbert Gardens.  I was walking around and ran across this small bed of tulips that were beginning to bloom.  I thought having all the other tulips in the background made for a good photo.

Miniature World

I have tried several times to grow bonsai trees.  I think they are some of the coolest plants, but they are tons of work and I can’t seem to get the hang of it.  So, when I get to see them, I understand what goes into growing them and have a huge respect for gardeners that can keep them up.  One of the coolest collection of bonsai that I have seen was at the Smith Gilbert Gardens.  They have bonsai that are decades old and even one that is centuries old.  I love that the gardeners not only grow a miniature tree, but also include other plants that mimic the scale.  I just wish I had a couple Lego people to put in this scene.
