Christmas Time.

   What's Christmas without a cup of "The World's Best Cup of Holiday Cheer" from the Dunn and Bro's coffee shop? It is always tradition for me and my brother to go out and have a morning coffee date just the two of us. This is part of my Christmas.

    I took this picture during my visit to St. Paul for the holidays. I loved the way the street was lit up and the lights in the trees are dangling into the picture that was meant to capture the beauty of the castle in the distance.

   Growing up this was always one of my favorite ornaments. The bottom is glass so when it's in front of a pretty light it will shine what ever color that happens to be.

    This display sits outside my house every year through the holidays. The bright lights light up the entire front yard to a peaceful setting. The mechanical dear move back and forth and the colorful presents give it a little "flare".

   The assignment was to take pictures of the holidays or lights, I think this picture does both. I switched the focus on my camera from auto to manuel  so it wouldn't focus on the lights but the color of them instead.
