Good News

 

My hours at work got expanded today. Right now, that is very good news.

Here is a link to someone else's video of one of our handbell songs. This one sounds pretty good, and has some fun techniques. I'm pretty much hidden behind the music stand, but I'm really there. I'm sorry, but you have have a Facebook Account to see it, I guess. I'm still hoping to take video myself.

Mary Had a Baby

For today's picture, I bring you my favorite Christmas candle holder. Three little bunnies peacefully waiting for Christmas morning.




One bunny wired and wide awake!

Here's the Candelabra, BYO Candles

 
You've seen this species of tree here before, but never with so many seed pods. Doesn't it just look like a candelabra waiting for tapers to be placed and lit for Christmas?



Yes, it is the lovely tulip tree, Liriodendron tulipifera. Wouldn't it be an amazing sight with a candle glowing in each one of those little holders?



I've fixed one for you. You'll have to use your imagination on the rest!

Candles in the Trees

 
Regular readers may remember that I'm not a fan of Scotch Pine. I just think they look coarse and stupid until they get to be several decades old (at which time they learn how to dance).

But, at this time of year, they become perfect Christmas tree with natural candles for decorations.



Huh? Don't worry, they aren't about to burst into flame. This is just the new growth for the year just before the needles lengthen and darken!

Lava Light?

 


This season I put the red candle on a higher surface, and it presented me with a new perspective.
