Brr, that looks so cold Lorraine, Cold and beautiful. Looks like hoar frost on the trees. What wonderful artwork our Creator gives us. Thanks for sharing. By the way you make the ♥'s by holding down your Alt key and hitting the 3 on your keyboard on the right side of your keyboard. ♥♥♥

arlene from United States
I like this one a lot, the creations of man so little against the vastness of nature. For some reason, the lamp post amuses me, standing straight and proud almost in the middle, demanding attention. I smile

@arlene: Thanks so much Arlene, I hope you have wonderful Christmas x
@Dimitrios: Yes and thank God for that lol thanks very much Di and a very Merry Christmas x

Barbara from Florida, United States
I admire that you see it as a gift Lorraine. I sense the quiet and peace a place to reflect. This is what I look for during a spiritual time that can be inspired from a scene like what you have captured.
Not from the inside of a mall or rush of traffic to get the biggest or most expensive gift.
Beautiful!!
24 Dec 2008 2:37pm
@Barbara: God's Gifts to us are so amazing, if we'd only open our eyes, and then there are artists, like you dear Barb who understand, thanks very much for this beautiful comment and Merry Christmas x

Alejandro Caballero from Sant Boi de Llobregat, Barcelona, Spain
Con todo mi cariño, te mando la receta de la Navidad: juntemos varias medidas de ilusión, una pizca de amistad y un gesto de ternura. Horneemos la mezcla con un ánimo paciente. Envolvámosla con risas, luces y canciones. Y finalmente, ofrezcámosla con el corazón
24 Dec 2008 6:42pm
@Alejandro Caballero: Wow muy bueno, very poetic and very nice of you to say so Alejandro, Joyeux Noel x
