Christmas flower - the Poinsettia

It's almost Christmas! Here's the poinsettia flower in our home. Since the kids are no longer living at home and will not be here for Christmas, we decided not to put up the Christmas tree. Instead we are enjoying a huge poinsettia plant.

Today was our first real snow...looks like 3 - 4 inches fell. Brrr. Hoping for a Merry Christmas, not necessarily a white one!

Newport Beach City Lights

Spending the Thanksgiving holiday in California, was wonderful. The nighttime city lights were fun to watch. I decided to take a few "creative" photos. Here's one that pleases me.
