Sunshine’s Macro Monday – Shine

December 9, 2019May 27, 2020 ~ oneletterup ~ 16 Comments

Inspired by Sunshine’s Macro Monday #21

While attending a Festival of Trees recently, I noticed this ornament hidden in one of the intricately decorated Christmas trees on display.

After experimenting with different settings on my camera, I landed on one that did it justice.

Giving it a chance to shine.

Photo a Week – Lit from Within

December 11, 2018May 25, 2020 ~ oneletterup ~ 8 Comments

Nancy Merrill is hosting a photo challenge. The theme this week:

A Photo a Week Challenge – Lit from Within

IN A NEW POST CREATED FOR THIS CHALLENGE, SHARE A PHOTO OR TWO OF THINGS LIT FROM WITHIN.

One of my favorite Christmas decorations/ornaments is a “lit from within” glass globe featuring an angel inside. A special gift from a special friend a few years ago.

It can either be hung from a tree branch or placed on a flat surface. In our case, this year the flat surface is perfect…since we are not putting up a tree for the first time in over 40 years. Empty nesters that we are, we are flying from the nest to celebrate with our hosting-for-the-holiday adult children.

In the meantime…this Angel will rest on our mantel and continuously spread Christmas cheer with a flick of a switch.
