As I have mentioned before, my roommate Luisa and I take walks. With Christmas approaching, we decided to take a couple of our walks near to sunset so we could enjoy the lit up houses.
One of those walks was nearby. The other required a short drive. I took pictures.
So, today for Thursday 13 (I learned about this meme via Barefoot Susie) I thought I'd share some of those photos with you. In no particular order:
1.
|
Yes, these are palm trees. |
2.
|
The tree on the left side does this great light show. |
3.
|
I got a shot of them in daylight, too. |
4.
|
Yes, taken during the day. Another decorated palm.
|
5.
|
Because it isn't Christmas without. . . unicorns? |
6.
|
The reindeer is wearing a mask. Can you see it? |
|
Here, let me give you a closer look (and in daylight). |
7.
|
It's like a magical lit-up fairy walkway. |
8.
|
Just a few lights. Subtle, really. |
9.
|
If you've got a tall palm, might as well flaunt it. |
10.
|
They really went all out. This display also had music. |
|
This is just below the above image. Those bushes were in these boot thingies. |
11.
|
Nice and lit up. |
12.
|
This palm has red lights. |
13.
|
Several houses along the canals. |
And I still have more pictures, but this'll do. It hasn't been too cold, so walking along in the early evening (5-6ish) has been rather pleasant. I hope you've found nice lights where you are.
And remember. . .
|
It's all fun and games until someone roasts your chestnuts. |
They are all so pretty although the unicorns are a little weird for Christmas. Merry Christmas to you and yours!
ReplyDeleteWell, I like the unicorns. ;P Thank you for sharing some holiday cheer. And Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas.
DeleteI love the decorated palm trees, especially that hugely tall one with the lights going most of the way up. Someone was dedicated and not afraid of heights.
ReplyDeleteHow cute! I like how we who don't live by pine trees can decorate palm trees and here cacti :) I always enjoyed when we lived in San Diego and we had the other corgi to take a walk around the marina and see the decorated boats :)
ReplyDeletebetty
Oooh, cactus decor. I hadn't thought of that, but of course it's obvious.
DeleteChristmas lights are always pretty (but for some of them their electricity bill must be huge!).
ReplyDeleteWow...so colorful. I don't see a lot of light like that in my country.
ReplyDeleteI really like number 7.
Merry Christmas to you.
It kind of looks magical, doesn't it?
DeleteLovely pictures :-)
