I have gardens of many flowers, but lilies occupy them the most. I have about 50 different varieties and many that are favorites. But, this one makes me the happiest. It's first day, it bursts forth with such bright colors---oranges, yellows, pinks, purples. As the days go on, it fades to pale pinks and yellows. The flower in my photostream below this one, is the same lily...only several days after it's first bloom. I hope you enjoy them.
THIS IS NOT ONE OF MY OWN PHOTOGRAPHS BUT A MANIPULATION OF ONE FOR A CHALLENGE IN THE "TIS THE SEASON" GROUP

Two windows on the second floor at Tingshuset in Västerhaninge. The building dates back to 1731. There was a Christmas market here today.
Day 336 of 365 - Christmas Continued

Well... all of this christmas stuff around the house and being busy and preoccupied has led to another Christmas shot. Intentionally blew some highlights here and went for a fairly unusal treatment for the color. Hope you like.
Wilt thou be gone? It is not yet near day.
It was the nightingale, and not the lark,
That pierced the fearful hollow of thine ear.
Nightly she sings on yon pomegranate tree.
Believe me, love, it was the nightingale.
...from "Romeo and Juliet"
I liked something about each of these compositions. It was quite cold at the end of my walk when I saw the late afternoon sun illuminating these tenacious raspberry leaves. Instead of studying angles and exposures I snapped away thinking I'd choose in front of the computer with a cup of Irish Breakfast Tea warming my hands. The above turned out to be my favorite. I like the way #3 has very bright red thorns. Tell me your favorite if you like.
It was late August and we were wandering in a flower garden in the rain. This rose caught my eye. It has been "painted" and textured in Photoshop.

Christmas Eve and Christmas Day were a bit chaotic, but that's what I love about the frenzy of family- when you have so many people to see and visit with, and so many things to do- to me, that will always beat having nothing to do and no one to see.
I did miss seeing my parents on Christmas Day, but I will spend the next few days with them. Hoping everyone had a wonderful Christmas Day!

Ora è esattamente come l'ho visto, in tutta la sua energia.
"E versa il cielo
La nebbia lungo i rami.
Radice di me.
Ogni goccia di vita
Ha una lacrima al fianco."

The same star!
These were one of my favorite finds. I probably wouldn't have even noticed them if they hadn't been among bigger tracks, but they came out with such lovely detail.
When problems seem to get you down
Take it to Jesus
When burdens get so heavy to bear
Take it to the Lord
Trust in God with all your heart
And lean not to your way
Take it to Jesus
Take it to the Lord
Are you disappointed wandering here and there
Take it to Jesus
And heavy laden, give it to Jesus
Take it to the Lord
Cast your cares upon the Lord
I know he cares for you
All those problems in your life
Nothing too hard for God
Cast your cares upon the Lord
Those problems He will solve
Sickness, pain, whatever it is
Give it all to Him
All those problems in your life
Nothing too hard for God
Cast your cares upon the Lord
Those problems He will solve
Sickness, pain, whatever it is
Give it all to Him
He's all you need
Jesus is all you need
Give it to Him
No matter what the problem
Give it to Jesus He'll work it out
Give it to Him
He's a heart fixer, He's a mind regulator
Give it to Jesus (Give it to Him)
No matter what the problem
Just give it to Jesus
He'll work it out
Give it to Him
He's a burden bearer
He's a heavy load sharer
Just give it to Jesus
Give it to Him
Yeah! Yeah!
He's all you need
Jesus is all you need
