Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas (if you celebrate it) and Happy New Year to you and your loved ones. What a beautiful picture of the sunrise (or is it sunset?). And, that tree is also beautifully decorated.

We have had a slightly cooler Christmas this year, at least where I live in Australia, so the slightly lower temps were welcome. Have a lovely Christmas.

You've said it all with this post! And yes, I love a warm Christmas. I wouldn't mind a bit of snow ... about 5 minutes of it but then I'd head back south. It is soooo good to see you posting and to enjoy your beautiful photography!

Sallie - how interesting that you included this shot of the moon in your mosaic. My son and I were driving home from dinner last night and were astonished by the brilliance of the moon.
We are blessed, aren't we? I am so grateful for my blogging friends and the wonders that I get to experience through them. Thanks for your participation in Mosaic Monday - I can't wait to see what 2019 brings!

Beautiful pictures! A very Merry Christmas coming your way.

Wonderful photos my snowbird friend. That image of the grand Christmas tree with the palm trees slays me, do you ever get used to it? Beautiful sunsets and that moon shot (not that kind of moon shot) is spectacular. How did you do that?
Merry Christmas to you and your slice of heaven, Sallie.
Posted by: Jeanna | December 23, 2018 at 04:13 PM
Beautiful sky shots and what a lovely tree with the water in sight. Your flying creatures in the next post made me smile (both the live ones and the montage you started with). Happy Merry to you and yours.
