'Tis the season! I hope you are all having fun with your Christmas preparations, or other holiday planning.
Not my usual Tuesday post, but the good Elves won the debate and decided to post early.

I love the beautiful shapes and silhouettes of the bare trees. As a bonus, once the leaves have flown away, you can sometimes see the intricate nests that birds have left behind. Often overlooked, I, for one, love the beauty of a world laid bare.
Speaking of Christmas, what would Christmas be without the redemptive tales? A Christmas Carol and The Grinch come to mind. Tales that prove that kindness changes everything.
In my recent travels I saw the Grinch in a yard pulling the Christmas tree lights off the roof of the house.
Although I don't have a picture of that scene, I am including the Grinch that I enjoyed painting a couple of years ago for my brother-in-law who really does enjoy the tale.

Have a very Merry Christmas!
And if you do not celebrate Christmas, enjoy your holidays!
I hope to see everyone in the New Year.

Hi Dixie:

I love your painting of the Grinch! So cute.
I hope your Christmas is Merry and Bright and all the very best in 2020.

I love the beauty we can find in the sky at any time with the different types and shapes of the clouds. And, it's a bonus for me because I love trees, too!

Very beautiful.
Really beautiful photos, and I love that quote!

Such beautiful colours and as you already know I also love bare trees. The ones in your photos are so wispy. The last thing I expected to see on your blog is a picture of the Grinch! :D
Thank you so much for sharing this post on Wandering Camera. Happy Holidays to you too!
