For MM this week I photographed some beautiful yellow miniature daffodils, these are a tradition of mine at Christmas, floral bells, so yellow, so pure, for me enjoying beautiful flora at this festive time is thoroughly enjoyable, and of course the tree, tinsel and presents. 💓

"I decided to take an image of my Christmas decorations whilst decorating the tree."
"I used my phone camera this week instead of my usual camera because of internet problems."
"A lady appeared inside a shiny heart amongst the tinsel, it wasn't a reflection of myself by the way .... Ha, ha.
"Could it be the Virgin Mary?"
"I wonder, an apparition maybe" "Definitely .... Something strange a pareidolia of some sort."
Love & Peace everyone! 💞
Stay safe and well! 😊
Ken & I took the granddaughter and grandson to a Christmas light show known as "Wonderland Under Warrier," in Rickwood Caverns. One of the first things we saw before entering the cave? A big turtle all done up in lights! Our daughter, Jamie, loved turtles and we felt like we had had a Christmas wish from her. We miss her every Christmas.

One of my favorite Christmas gifts was a glass globe ornament with the word HOPE hand painted on it. As I tried photographing it (without breaking it!) the fluidity and reflection of the ribbon on the glass fascinated me. This could also be listed under "Yellow" and "High Key."

★ Novel Nativity Scene at Vatican's St.Peter's Square Sculpted completely out of 700 tons of Sand ★
When a Child is Born ... Gloria in Excelsis Deo!
See him in a manger laid,
Whom the choirs of angels praise;
While our hearts in love we raise;
A ray of hope flickers in the sky
A tiny star lights up way up high
All across the land dawns a brand new morn
A silent wish sails the seven seas
The winds of change whisper in the trees
And the walls of doubt crumble tossed and torn ...
This comes to pass, when a child is born ...
Gregorian Chant - O Come All Ye Faithful

Here comes the story of the Nativity Sand Scupture,before my Christmas wishes ♥
The traditional scene,not so traditional this year,depicts Joseph,Mary and the Infant Jesus surrounded by angels,shepherds,animals and the Three Wise Men.It was made with over 700 tons of sand from Jesolo,a resort town near Venice,it is 16-meter wide,5-meter tall & covers 25 square metres.
Three sand artists from Russia,Holland and the Czech Republic,worked under the direction of Rich Varano,an American professional sand artist.They worked on the site for weeks behind a screen to prevent people from seeing the scene before it was finished.
"It’s an Ephemeral Art in the sense that it is not intended to last forever,even though we could make it last indefinitely if we wanted to ... ” Rich Varano
The famous artist,who has been making sand sculptures for decades,said that it was a very humbling and emotional experience to be in such a place surrounded by rich culture,history and the Art from the Masters.
The Nativity scene by the obelisk at the center of St. Peter’s square next to the decorated large Christmas tree has a large overhead canopy to protect the scene from any heavy rain and plastic curtains to be lowered in case of storms or strong winds.It will remain here until January 7 /2019 and then the sand will be returned to where it came from.
Pope Francis,in thanking sponsors for the Christmas tree and the Nativity scene,said that a natural poor material,recalls the simplicity,the smallness with which God revealed himself with the birth of Jesus in the precariousness of Bethlehem.The Pope will visit & bless the Nativity scene on December 31.
★Tis the Season to be Giving ♥ Loving & Caring ... ♥
There is no Religion without Love ...
Give,Believe,Sparkle,be Kind,Joyful & Bright
♥ Merry Christmas to All of You who celebrate the Nativity of Christ & Love & Peace to Everyone ♥
★ May the Sweet Magic of Chrismas fills in your Heart & Soul ★
For me, Christmas wouldn’t be complete without attending the annual concert of the world-renowned King’s College Choir, Cambridge. So here we are this year at the Barbican Hall in the heart of the City of London (the capital’s CBD), awaiting the arrival of the conductor.
The concert, as ever, was special and uplifting – and, as in the past, King’s were joined by the 150-strong Crouch End Festival Chorus, plus the Philharmonia Orchestra. The magical concert was conducted by Daniel Hyde, music director of King’s College Choir.
To all my Flickr friends and visitors, have a Happy Christmas, and I send you my warmest good wishes for the year ahead.
Christmas is only a few days away and people are already gathering at community events to celebrate the season. On this occasion, it was Moreston By Candlelight - a pioneer village on the grounds of a nearby museum. I didn't see any actual candles but kerosene lamps provided a lovely warm light. It was well attended, which made taking pictures without a tripod challenging. Here, I was actually outside a house and placed my camera lens against the glass of a window to see what would happen. Considering how dark it actually was inside the building, I was pleasantly surprised. If you don't look too closely, you could easily image this scene taking place a century ago or more.

Christmas fun day for the family - making more snow with Santa. 17-12-2016. See it in action > goo.gl/tmtQow
Bayfront Park is a 32-acre (13 ha) public, urban park in Downtown Miami, Florida on Biscayne Bay. The Chairman to the trust is Ary Shaeban. Located in the park is a bronze statue of Christopher Columbus sculpted by Count Vittorio di Colbertaldo of Verona, one of Benito Mussolini’s hand picked ceremonial bodyguards known as the “Black Musketeers.”
The park began construction in 1924 under the design plans of Warren Henry Manning and officially opened in March 1925. Beginning in 1980, it underwent a major redesign by Japanese-American modernist artist and landscape architect, Isamu Noguchi. Today, Bayfront Park is maintained by the Bayfront Park Management Trust, a limited agency of the city of Miami, Florida.
Bayfront Park is bordered on the north by Bayside Marketplace and the FTX Arena, on the south by Chopin Plaza, on the west by Biscayne Boulevard and on the east by Biscayne Bay. Bayfront Park is host to many large events such as the New Year's ball drop, Christmas celebrations, concerts, the Bayfront Park Amphitheater, the Tina Hills Pavilion, as well as boat tours around Biscayne Bay.
In June 2020, the park's Ponce de Leon and Christopher Columbus statues were vandalized, though it was announced that they would not be removed.
Bayfront Park holds the city's annual "America's Birthday Bash" on Independence Day, which attracted over 60,000 visitors in 2011. The park also hosts the city's official New Year's Eve party that annually hosts over 70,000 visitors. Visitors are encouraged to take public transport for events at Bayfront Park as parking can be scarce and expensive. The nearest Metrorail station is Government Center. From there a connection to the Metromover is available with three stops near the park, Bayfront Park, First Street, and College/Bayside.
It has been the site of the Ultra Music Festival, an electronic dance music event. In 2018, Miami's commissioners barred the festival from being held downtown, citing complaints surrounding noise and the behavior of attendees, resulting in a relocation to Virginia Key. The festival returned to the park in March 2022.
The park hosted the hip-hop music festival "Rolling Loud" in 2017. Performers included Kendrick Lamar, Future, Lil Wayne, ASAP Rocky, Travis Scott, Young Thug, and Mac Miller.
The Bayfront Park includes an amphitheater with capacity of 10,000 people, in where several cultural events have been held. On pop culture, notably, the Bayfront Park amphitheater was stage for country pop singer Shania Twain during her Come On Over Tour in early 1999, with two shows featuring guests Backstreet Boys, Elton John and Canadian dance group Leahy. A CBS television special was filmed throughout the concerts and aired in March 1999 under the title of Winter Break. It was later released on home video in 2001 as The Specials.

Known as Miami’s front porch, this park began as a small reserve for political and religious gathering amidst railroad tracks and tidal marsh. In 1922 the city constructed a retaining wall, commissioned Warren Manning, who worked for Frederick Law Olmsted, Sr. in the late 19th century, to design a park, and spent 17 months reclaiming the coastline. Manning’s design for the 62-acre parcel employed meandering paths through palms, tropical almonds, and Royal Ponciana, a circular bed of exotic flowers, and a wide pedestrian promenade that extended East Flagler Street to the bay. Much of Manning’s design was destroyed by a hurricane in 1926. A year later, the city installed a band shell, a grotto, and a rock garden on the waterfront. The U.S. Navy commandeered the park through World War II but permitted the city to install the Dade County War Memorial in 1943. Battered from the military occupation, the park was returned to the city in 1950 and a public library was built obstructing views to the bay. The following two decades saw little investment in the park.
In 1980 the city commissioned Isamu Noguchi to redesign the newly named Bayfront Park, which had shrunk to 32 acres due to peripheral development. Noguchi convinced the city to demolish the library and re-extend Manning’s pedestrian promenade, which now terminates at a spray fountain surrounded by a paved civic space. Bosques of subtropical trees provide shade for grassy lawns, the rock garden, and several of Noguchi’s sculptures including a monument to the Challenger space shuttle. The War Memorial was updated in the 1990s.

You saw him here, you saw him there, you saw him everywhere, that lovable bearded Scarlet figure called St. Nick. All the boys and girls will have to wait until next Christmas and be good until then if they want to be on his list.
I post this today in memory of my Father whose birthday would have been today; he died many years ago but I always think of him at this time of year.
