Could Not Resist

As soon as we walked into the pharmacy we were both smitten with this delightful, lighted ornament. We don’t make many snap purchases like this, but it was seniors discount day, so we were rendered helpless. What with winter almost here and Christmas coming soon, it will work as a decoration for both situations, so we splurged. It will be a source of light and bright in the dark, wintry months  

In the evening, I decided to try both a photo and video, just holding the phone freehand in the low light. Whatever editing I did subsequently was on the phone. The photo doesn’t carry the total impact of how strikingly pretty the ornament really is, but it does yield an approximation. The frame is very white in the daylight but yellow like this when the machine is on and when the snow is swirling around the cardinals.. 


I also had a short video, but Blogger is not liking it this morning, so that’s it — short and sweet today.

  1. Blogger's in a mood this morning. My pictures were appearing however they chose, despite repeated tries. I did get them right, then went back in and found the most important one had vanished. It's back now. I think.
    What size is the ornament?

  9. I love that too. I had to have an Xmas lantern when I saw John's. It makes me happy to put it out every year.
