No Snow For Santa

This is the first free day I have had all month and apart from doing the ironing I have had a very lazy day.

Here is another shot from the Hunter Valley Gardens Christmas Lights display.

No snow for Santa here in the Southern Hemisphere.

lovely capture - I remember Santa and his sleigh from last year at the gardens

[gloria jones]

Fabulous, clear shot of this wonderful, festive Christmas display

[Margo]

nice one, pity about the snow!!

[Connie Little]

Great shot of this lovely display. I have to admit that I for one am rather glad we won't have snow.

[Wylie]

Very impressive!

[Richard Brown]

Great Christmas lights they look very nice :)

[Denise Wood]

terrific light show :)

[Beryl Lloyd]

A superb capture of the Christmas lights - so magical in spite of no snow !! FAV

[Peter]

What a wonderful light display well thought out and beautifully captured Babs:)

[Dione Giorgio]

Beautifully captured display, Babs. Santa could have done with a donkey instead of the reindeer, haha.

[Kathy A]

He really could do with some snow

[Lou Ann]

Wonderful capture. Your Christmas decoration night photos are so great!

[Marnie]

What a great display you’re sharing with us. Northern Hemisphere (parts thereof) can keep their snow. It’s much over-rated IMHO.

[Danette Thompson]

Nice display.

[Merrelyn]

Lovely light display :)

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Drat. Santa needs snow. Beautiful shot, though.

[Henri Russell]

Nice capture of the lighted display.

[Diana]

Fabulous shot of this lovely display.

[Hazel]

None here either, and come to think of it where has Santa got to?! Hope your Christmas is peaceful and relaxing, Babs.

[Ann Williams]

Such a lovely display of lights - I've been checking out your previous photos. Snow or not, Santa looks ready to fly.

[ChristineL]

Santa must be far too hot there in that big coat and hat! Great shot.

[Margaret Brown]

Lovely festive lights

[Peter Dulis]

Love it ...

[Taffy]

The lights are great! We actually have no snow either! Just the cold...

[Jennifer]

It looks so lovely

[Tremerryn]

A lovely capture.

[Casablanca]

I guess you could have posted a pic of the iron!! But this is better.

[sally agnew]

Splendid Christmas lights :)

[Pyrrhula]

No snow here eighter. Great shot of this beautiful lighting display.

[Pat Knowles]

This is a very smart Santa sleigh! It looks beautiful in the dark. Did you have to wait quite late in the evening to get the dark sky Babs. I notice in NZ the lights don't show up so well until later in the evening. That's one good thing about here it's dark again 4pm almost!

[Suzanne]

We have fog and drizzle, I'm sure Santa will be well prepared for all these conditions!

[Lois]

Pretty Christmas display!

[Kathie]

Shall I send some your way?

[KWind]

Such a great light display!

[Elisabeth Sæter]

Great shot

[Babs]

@annied I thought you didn't go to HVG!

@seattlite @777margo @pusspup @rjb71 @gilbertwood @pcoulson @sangwann @kjarn @louannwarren @beryl @danette @merrelyn @mittens @henrir @ludwigsdiana @flowerfairyann @craftymeg @pdulis @taffy @jesperani @tremerryn @casablanca @hermann @pyrrhula @suzanne234 @loweygrace @kwind @elisasaeter Thanks. I think Santa is wearing his northern hemisphere outfit in this display. He must change to shorts and sandals when he gets here for real.

[Babs]

@littleconnie @golftragic I am with you. Christmas in summer is much more civilised. I don't miss snow at all.

[Babs]

@quietpurplehaze Thanks Hazel. I am looking forward to a quiet Christmas, it has been so hectic here this month. I will email you this weekend, sorry I haven't been in touch.

[Babs]

@inthecloud5 I think he changes into tropical gear once he reaches the Southern Hemisphere.

[Babs]

@happypat The sun sets around 8 pm at the moment here, so we did have to wait a while, but lots to see in the daylight first though.

[Babs]

@kathiecb No thank you Kathie. I don't miss snow at all. Haven't seen it for 29 years. Christmas in summer is much more civilised.

[Lin]

Lovely!

[Pat Knowles]

@onewing ooh that's early for the middle of summer! I notice in NZ it never stays light very late as it does here. Just a nice mix then at this time of the year.

[Gayle]

Fabulous capture of this Christmas light display! Like in Australia, there will be no snow for Santa here in San Antonio. My husband and I are flying to Toronto on Christmas Day to spend the week with my in-laws and there will DEFINITELY be snow there. I'll be happy to get some snow photos while we're there. :-)

[Yao RL]

Simply Stunning,

[Babs]

@happypat No we don't get the late evenings like in the UK. Just checked the sunrise and sunset today.
Sunrise 5.42 am sunset 8 pm.

[Loopy-Lou]

Wonderful capture

[Margo Sayer]

I think this Santa needs a square meal for his coming tasks. He looks positively wasted.

[Mandy]

Lovely Santa and reindeer photo. - no snow on Christmas day here too. Should be in double figures according to the forecast. Does help with travel plans though!

[Pam]

Really nice!

[Sue Cooper]

I love this one.

[CC Folk]

I love the lights and decorations! Fav.
