I noticed, walking outside tonight, looking for a photo, how many houses are now decorated simply in white lights. Classic and lovely, but so different from when I was a kid and residents competed to put up as many colored lights as possible. Although there is the new tradition of the plastic, blow-up decoration of Santa or his elves. I always find it so sad when I see these during the day, all flat and droopy on people's front lawns.
I really like the simple white lights, though. I shot the top photo through the trees and the one below, straight on. Same house, same tree, though.
The weather today was absolutely balmy--in the fifties, but tomorrow rain is predicted. Hope we have some snow for Christmas, though.
