Picture This #227 ~ Holiday Party Time


First of all congratulations Benni for the wonderful banner and Heidi thanks for hosting. Like Mitch I do not have such a selection of holiday photos. I do not really do Christmas, just for the others, and decorations are at a minimum. Also it seems I have already shown them all here over the years, so I will be digging around for something else.

My first photo was more coincidence. I was in town and they were hanging up the Christmas lights, so I took the first photo probably of the finished product on this house.

Here is last year's Christmas Tree outside our local supermarket. The snow is genuine.

  3. Hi Pat !! Three great shots for the theme, despite not being a Christmas person :-)) It must have cost a small fortune to put all those lights on the house in the first shot. Lovely shot of Solothurn at Christmas. Beautiful shot of the snow-covered tree.

  5. Pat, I love your first photograph. The lights look like flakes of snow coming down. The square of Solothurn is lovely and the supermarket Xmas tree is beautiful with real snow and white lights.
