It's begining to feel a bit like Christmas - 1 : Giant Baubles

I've got a few "It's begining to feel a bit like Christmas" shots to post, this is my first one.

Last weekend we started putting our outside decorations up. Not all of them, just a designer tree (blue lit twigs) and a couple of giant baubles that hang from my 'hanging basket' brackets...you know the 'hanging basket' brackets that had my baskets on in the summer that were stolen !!!

Anyway this is the 'Beckham Bauble' shot with a bit of low sun illuminating the bauble and wall

I put the rest of our outside decorations out today - which is a Friday - I'm way behind on posting.

Mind you don't get these stolen too !! Would love to see your designer blue tree too sometime !! Why Beckham Bauble ?

[Allison Williams]

What a lovely composition. I really like the angle and the way you got the gleam without reflection. Maybe you ought to chain it to the basket bracket for safe keeping.

I worry about the concept of a Beckham Bauble...Neat shot though

[Mags]

Very nice, Phil! Love how the brick sets off the ball and the design on it! Good work!

@happypat Pat, when David and Victoria Beckham were at the height of their popularity and David was an England icon, he had a nickname amongst the press and fans.......you could google his nickname.......but to save you the search .....he was called 'golden balls'......hence my 'Beckham Bauble'
