Friday Foto Friends #57



Joining in with the fun today at Breathing in Grace for Friday Foto #57.

I am going to share a variety of photos. Just because.



The Christmas Village. I painted all of the houses and businesses. It sits on top of the entertainment center. We put a board across the 2 stereo speakers to make a second level. Then across the top of the front windows we put another board. The cords are usually tucked up underneath covered by mounds of snow.




Christmas 2014 my family commented on how ugly the tree was that year. Last year I decided to get even. It started as a joke, but I ended up really liking my result. I went the colors from the movie "Frozen".  Yes, that it a flamingo. Flamingos are appropriate all the time. The green sleigh is an old piece of McCoy that was my mom's.
I am going away for Christmas this year. I didn't put a tree up, but did use the ornaments to create this. I will have a manger up, but not until Christmas is much closer.


I always always have my camera with me no matter where I go. This is why. These are either Trumpeter Swans or Snow Geese. I am not sure which. They were in a field on my home last Friday.

I hope it was Ok to post so many photos. I just wanted to share them all. I hope you enjoyed them.

Here in Florida we have flamingos in our trees, our yards, on our shirts, you name it! The swans are beautiful! or snow geese, whatever...they are all beautiful!!! Enjoy your Christmas time away!
