L is for Leaves

Leaves are one of my favorites, I not only take pictures of them I also save and press my favorites.

Looking In

Denver's giant blue bear looks in the windows.

Cheerful red and yellow poinsettia

The flower of the poinsettia is  the yellow cluster in the middle of the red leaves.

Letter - L

I am going to try to schedule this ahead and hope it posts. I have to make an emergency trip to see my family as my dad is very ill.

Anyway,
The prompt for the rest of the month is L.

And as I am also going to see my sister who has been strong for everyone. I am hoping we will also have some times like this.

L is for Laugh.

Please use the label L for your posts.

Holly berries

the only thing more holiday-cheery than holly berries is holly berries in the snow!

Holiday Cheer

Heres a toast to all for the holiday season. Of course it is summer here in New Zealand so there is nothing better than celebrating outside.

Poinsettias

I've always loved the exuberant colors of poinsettias.

Unexpected Joy

I love the quietness that the season seems to bring to my neighborhood and the unexpected discoveries that bring me joy.

Hannukah Lights

This time of year represents Hannukah.  This is a photo of  our two menorahs.  The tradition is to light them in a window or doorway where they can be seen by the outside world.

Holiday Cheer

And for December... not a proper colour, but a sort of theme colour. With the holidays coming up, what colours speak to you of Holiday Cheer?

Perhaps it is more than one thing? Perhaps you will think of other things over the new few weeks. You are welcome to post more than once for this one (or any other really).

Here is a start.

red and gold

I call these my Christmas Pudding earrings, but since they were sent to me by someone in America, I expect they were meant to be baubles.

We will still have a letter on the 15th, but we will start the New Year with shapes. If you know anyone who might like to join up, I will send out new invites around the New Year.
