How wonderful, Laura!! Nothing beats shimmery and sparkly for Christmas! And my favorite red right there front and center! Best wishes for the merriest Christmas ever to you as well! #8211312
Laura E. Swan
December 12, 2009
Monnie..I was just thinking about the color red. It represents so many things to we humans.
Firstly I would say Love & passion, then maybe anger, the even very blood that keeps us alive. It can mean caution, wonderful foods that we eat, beautiful birds and flowers that surround us, MY SPAGHETTI SAUCE that is likely burning right now OH AND SANTA's CLOTHES and RUDOLPH'S NOSE!
I love red, too. Thanks for your wonderful comments!
*
Nancyj, I am so glad you like it! It does kinda look TWINKLY doesn't it?!?! NEATO! Your comments are always so special!
*
Hi John! WOW! Thanks! I was hoping to achieve the spirit of Christmas so hearing it, in your rendition, really feels great!!! :D
*
Kathy...YOU are VERY welcome! HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
*
OH SSSKiki, I ruined my Chances to be hired by Disney in the 70's! I should have jumped on the opportunity that I had. Too late now. No more connections there!!! Long story! SO GLAD YOU LIKE THIS!!! :D
*
Thank you Donna! I bet you will make something lovely and Christmas-y soon too...Your evening shots are amazing!
HEY-MAYBE YOU HAVE ALREADY! I WILL GO SEE!

Thanks all!!! Time to scrape the bottom of the spaghetti sauce pan!

BetterPhoto Websites: If you see an orange website link directly under the photographer's name, it's totally okay. It's not spam. The reason: BetterPhoto is the one that offers these personal photography websites. We are supporting our clients with those links.
Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.

I hear, I forget.
I see, I remember.
I do, I understand.
