'W" for Wrong Letter for ABC ~ So 'White Lights' 'X' ~ Xmas Tree ~ for ABC Wednesday
It has been rainy and gray for the second day in a row and more tomorrow. Rather rain than snow at this point ~ Too hard for holiday travelers and shoppers to get around. Yet need to do some new holiday photography soon. Doing something creative every day fills my soul with life energy. Hope you are all well and busy preparing for the holidays.

It has been raining here also for the past two days. I've been keeping busy packing for my upcoming move west. It is takig longer than I thought it would!
ReplyDeleteI love your Wharton quote.
ReplyDeleteGreat variety of seasonal photographs. I'm kind of into the barren skies and empty trees look. The earth is resting right now is how I see it.
And a double bonus with your haiku.
ooo, this was a delight to read.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos and accurate haiku :)
ReplyDeleteWhat pretty pastel skies! Wishing you and yours a wonderful festive season.
ReplyDeleteHappy holidays! ^^ It was a joy to drop by ^^

This is as much of "winter" as I can take! More rain please rather than snow!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas to you and yours!

Rain is a welcome thing here-we don't get rain or moisture of any kind that often. Your tree looks beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHave a Merry Christmas!
Even in California it has been "colder" and rainy for the last 2 weeks! Finally get to use my sweaters (which I like). You have a great Christmas season as well, Carol. May they bring bring whatever you wish for.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photography and poetry. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photography and poetry. Hope you have a wonderful Christmas.
ReplyDeleteWow..beautiful photos, Carol! We finally saw the sun for a while today. It feels so good to see it after days of rain and grey!
ReplyDeleteLove your shots of the trees and the pretty colors of the sky. Hope you are having a great week!
ReplyDeleteThe scenery is beautiful as well as the words. I absolutely love your little dog!!
ReplyDeleteOne of the things about short days is that sunsets are never missed, nice to see yours and to hear about your creative days. We have had nothing but rain and more to come so I'm hoping to wake up to snow on the 25th.
ReplyDeleteHave a very merry December.
A very nice post - I need to start getting into the Christmas spirit soon!
ReplyDeleteAnother delight to enjoy ... I wish you could send some of the rain down to Central TX!!

ReplyDeleteWonderfull words, great photos, such a lovely post!
ReplyDeleteI like the winter trees - their stark outlines are splendid.
ReplyDeleteCheers - Stewart M - Melbourne
Your photos of the stark and simple trees against the beautiful winter sky are my favorites, but I also really enjoyed the festively decorated Christmas tree! Enjoy a restful, cozy, creative holiday!
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of scarecrows being winter watchers!
ReplyDeleteScarecrow
Wonderful captures Carol!

a beautiful shot of evening.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful sunset
ReplyDeleteOh I just love that Santa ornament!!!
ReplyDeleteYes, those are real trees backlit poetry. Best wishes for you to have a Merry Christmas.
ReplyDeleteOrdinary Words...Lovely Haiku and a great Wharton quote♫
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photography and haiku. We've just started getting some snow. It's going to be a white Christmas for us.
ReplyDeleteCan't tell you how thankful I am to be out of the snowy and wet winters! We do get rain, but not snow and usually sunny days between the rainy days.
ReplyDeleteLove the soft colors in the photos of the trees--and LOVE 'gestation ripens'!!!
ReplyDeleteI like your evening scene picture, Carrol. It makes for a good "E" word, evening. The picture is nice, the sunset shows red real pretty in contrast to the other dimly lit no-color atributes. My camera would call it 'red eye' and eliminate all trace of the sunset.
ReplyDelete..
Haiku on family right or write on !
ReplyDeleteThank you...gave me a smile.
Family can definitely be a mixed blessing! I know what you mean about needing the snow for seasonal pics, put off taking the kids' picture for our Christmas cards hoping for snow...Ended up with what looks like a fall picture instead!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas :)
My favourite is the first one - so calm. And i love the delicate lines of the branches.
ReplyDeleteHi again!
