Nativity

I spent most of the day unpacking and setting up my more than 50 nativity scenes I have. This one is made from the ash of Mt. St. Helens which erupted in 1980. I purchased it while on a vacation with my sisters in Washington state a few years ago

This is really nice. You must have some collection

@ladybug71012 I have tried counting them and never get a really accurate count. It is somewhere between 50 and 60. One daughter gives me one every year and she is very creative with her choices. There will be more featured soon

WOW! Sounds like some collection! Would love to see more of them! This one is beautiful.

[Marilyn Wigen]

You have about double what I have... no wonder you have trouble finding a place to set them all out! Can't wait to see more... :)

[Peter de Graaff]

I am amazed that you have so many and that this is made from ash. I love the color and composition

@debsphotos Thanks, Debbie. I am sure they will be featured as my fall back subject until I understand my new camera better.

@marilyn I rose to your challenge and have them all in the same area but am a little worried about Colton when he gets here!

[katy]

@peterdegraaff Thanks so much, Peter. I lived near Mt. St. Helens when it blew so this one has a special meaning for me.

@adobewaters I appreciate it so much, Adobe.

@grammyn As I suggested to a mom of young ones, maybe you could find Colton one of his own for the coffee table and let him now he can play with that one, but no others?

[katy]

@marilyn I have considered that but am not convinced he wouldn't want the others as well.

Nice picture....that is amazing....I can't believe you have over 50 Nativity Scenes...how do you store them all....I love this one so simple and interesting

[katy]

@maggotx I have several storage boxes full that I keep under my bed. Last year I got a small tree to hang some on and stored it in the spare room and totally forgot to get it out so I STILL have more to put up!

@maggotx Thanks, Mag for the compliments.
