The weather forecast called for no snow (no White Christmas). Yet I woke to this. What's even more interesting (intriguing) is that the sun rose as a "Cross". Whether this was caused by the atmospheric optics of falling snow, lens flare, or something else, it seemed fitting for this day. Three minute later, this phenomena was gone! www.flickr.com/photos/79387036@N07/51774069607

This Poinsettia is a Euphorbia pulcherrima.
The ‘flower’ is in the centre.
The plant's association with Christmas began in 16th century Mexico, where legend tells of a young girl who was too poor to provide a gift for the celebration of Jesus' birthday.
The tale goes that the child was inspired by an angel to gather weeds from the roadside and place them in front of the church altar.
Crimson "blossoms" sprouted from the weeds and became beautiful poinsettias.
From the 17th century, Franciscan friars in Mexico included the plants in their Christmas celebrations.
The star-shaped leaf pattern is said to symbolise the Star of Bethlehem, and the red colour represents the blood sacrifice through the crucifixion of Jesus...
Where I come from, we call this a 'Christmas Star'
There is a common misconception that the poinsettia is highly toxic.
This is not true; it is mildly irritating to the skin or stomach and may sometimes cause diarrhoea and vomiting if eaten.
As with all Euphorbias, they bruise easily and give off a white 'milk' when broken, so those sensitive to latex may suffer an allergic reaction.
I wish you all the very best, and thank you for all your kind words, time, comments and faves. M, (*_*)

The Ogham alphabet is the earliest known form of writing in Ireland and is seen as the first intellectual creation of Irish-speaking people. While the Ogham alphabet is seldom used today, it remains an enduring part of Irish culture and heritage.

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Peace on Earth and a joyful New Year to all my Flickr photography friends!
Merry Christmas one and all, and a happy and healthy New Year! I sincerely hope Christmas 2015 was good to you. Myself and my girls really enjoyed ours.
To everyone who liked and commented on my images in 2015 I would like to say a massive thank you! I only wish I had the time to return the favour to you all. With a baby on the way and a business to run I just don't have as much time for Flickering as I used to. That annoys me as Flickr and photography are very important positives in my life.
That said I'll never leave and have loads of ideas for shots in 2016, hopefully some of them will come to fruition.And hopefully I'll connect with as many of you as possible too.

While walking on River road in Lambertville and the evening was settling in, I noticed these miniature Christmas Carolers in an antiques display, singing a seasonal tune, only to be heard with a smile...
The picture was taken though window's glass.
