Warm Hands

Over the holiday season, our Botanical Gardens are decorated from top to bottom in Christmas lights. It's a lovely display but I think I am starting to grow weary of holiday decorations. I lingered near the fire cauldrons tonight, enjoying the warmth and the glow.

I was overwhelmed with your responses to my "parking lot bokeh" shot yesterday! Thank you for the many comments and FAVS. What a way to end this year. I am very appreciative!
