warm tones, LIGHTED TREE, angel ornaments, camera dreams

please press PLAY...and wait for it...

ahhhhhhhhh. now ease

down into your seat and

scroll on

yesterday evening.

*

*

multi-colored bulbs

strung around a HomeDepot tree

in some sort of order.
made to work in between bursts

of *sister*laughter* and *kitty*craziness*

pink...

rich magenta pink:

a major theme of this year's tree

up close with a christmas ball.

*

this camera -- the camera i used for almost every personal pic

you've seen on this blog this year...

...it's got me dreamin'

of another camera...

one i hope will be this year's Christmas present from Santa,

my first SLR
which would have made these next few pics

a lot better I imagine

my sister, mom, and I

are a tad bit in love with

these curly silver twist ornaments

scattered about our tree

[my favorite pic of the bunch]

this little angle ornament seems like he's flying enthusiastically around Christmas land

***

above, a modern angel ornament, bought in recent years

and

below, a vintage angel ornament, around during my mom's childhood
[both adorning the same tree]

*

decorating *the*tree* is always one

of my favorite events of winter,

and this year

it seemed therapeutic

on this Monday morning,

the start of what i feel is going to be the week from Hell due

to last minute sham-college work,

when sham-college duties rush in causing stress and worry,

and fear at the forefront of my mind,

i will imagine Christmas bubbles of warmth and serenity

and hope it'll help me through.
*

...and if not, then

i can always do like *the*binos*, and sleep in the light of the tree.

wishing you a calm and peaceful and quick December Mond
