I couldn’t resist in going to take pictures in our town of all the beautiful Christmas lights this year. Some shops, like our local art shop, has really put themselves out to have a wonderful Christmas display in their display windows. I love this! It’s like a picture for a puzzle! You feel like standing by the window for hours and enjoy what is on display. It’s amazing, the detail – and so much effort has gone into this display to make it enjoyable to the visitor.

Too bad the pics cant be enlarged. I can’t make out much detail.
Hi Dan
I have them pretty large, but didn’t want to put the 3MB pics on the blog – it takes time to load.
Too bad. I’m pretty blind, you know. Comes with advanced age.
I’ve done the entry with software on my pc – Blogdesk – so you can’t really view it much larger than it is. Will send you via email, if you want?
That would be nice. I love Christmas-y pictures.
Hi Dan
3 Pics sent! Check your email:)
