“Frah-GEE-lay”

With thanks to Rick for prompting a re-title!
[If you don’t know the reference, you’re probably too young!]

Now that the tree is fully decorated: a “blown glass” ornament. Don't know when or where we got this one, but Clare will, no doubt, remember! The reflections in all of the curved surfaces of the ornament do reflect the various features of the living room…

I posted an image of this same ornament two years ago tomorrow — http://365project.org/rhoing/365/2011-12-22 — but I was clearly going for different things today than I was two years ago — I find that rather interesting!

Note 1. I used a tripod to steady the camera for the 0.2" exposure.
Note 2. This ornament broke when we took down the ornaments. Bummer, but that's the risk when you get things out and actually use them!

This is so beautiful :)

Wow, that's a beauty, and I bet it's fragile.

[Thom Mitchell]

@digitalrn It *is* fragile! And I've retitled the post thanks to you, Rick!

[Thom Mitchell]

@michelleyoung Thank you, Michelle! Definitely one of my favorites!

[Rick Schies]

@rhoing Good move, and I bet Clare unpacks it and makes sure it is securely hung.

[Rick Schies]

Not saying you are clumsy at all Thom, just saying.
