Christmas Ornaments WAITING!
This year I wanted a much bigger Christmas tree. What was I thinking?
We came home with a beautiful VERY, TALL, 10-foot, fluffy fat TREE purchased from the fire department. We placed it in the stand we have had for years. Good. We tested the light strings and they all worked. Good. We got out the ladder and started in wrapping and draping and snugging up the lights just so. Beautiful! We plugged in the lights. There was a big POP and then darkness. OH DEAR! We got more lights and started all over again. Ah, that looks nice! We stood back to admire the tree and attempted to plug the lights into the wall socket. We had placed the lights on the tree with the plug-in at the top and the connector at the bottom! Off came the lights again. Maybe we should have a glass of wine? Watch some football and take a break? No, we start AGAIN. I turn on Christmas music, maybe that will help? Tada! Re-wrap, re-drape, place just so. Of course, my job is supervisor! SB is on the ladder AGAIN. The lights work! Tada! We place a few baubles on the tree. Not all. It takes me a while to unwrap all of the older ones, the special ones. But, we did put on the glass Egyptian bulbs I love. Now we will take a break. We will go back to tree decorating shortly. WHAMP!! Tinkle, Tinkle! The noise came from the entryway. OH NO THE TREE HAS FAINTED! Can we even get it UP? Stay tuned and enjoy!

This is the last day of the Photography 101 Challenge. It has been fun and I have learned a lot! Today’s theme is Triumph, to create a dramatic effect of some sort by using contrast. Here is my last entry! These are pictures I took in Orvieto, Italy, a city of contrasts, from the cobbled lanes, the abundance of beautiful woodcuttings, to the underground city! Enjoy!

Two old friends in conversation and relaxing with wine in Charleston, South Carolina! The Double Duo! Today’s assignment twosie’s! Notice the bottle tree? It is believed that the spirits are dazzled by the colors of the bottles in the sun. Once they enter the bottle, they can’t find their way out, much like flies. Legend had it that empty glass bottles placed outside the home could “capture” roving (usually evil) spirits at night, and the spirit would be destroyed the next day in the sunshine. Enjoy!

Edge, is today’s focus for Photography 101. These pictures of the Castle at Cesky Krumlov has lots of edges, every which way! The castle was built in 1240 by the Witigonen family, the main branch of the powerful Rosenberg family. These large blocks that make up the exterior of the castle are fake! It is a smooth exterior with the blocks and reliefs painted on! That painter must have had a very straight edge! Enjoy!
