Christmas Lights Again!

I want one of these.

I don't know what it has to do with Christmas, but I want one.

*Stops for a minute to think.

No, scratch that.

I want several.

A whole flock.

One Last Set of Light Pictures

Because it was foggy and the lights looked so nice and because they will all be coming down again soon.

I really like the exuberance of the middle house--lights all over everything, even the rocks. The lovely driftwood decoration is new this year, and I've been admiring its elegance as I walk.

More Lights

It's become a yearly tradition for the family to visit Roger's Gardens and then head over to Fashion Island to see the World's Tallest and Most Environmentally Sound Christmas Tree.1

Roger's Gardens does a lovely display, lots of lavish lights--in fact, that's how we first found them.

Fashion Island is great, too, though disappointingly the smaller vendors were not out this year with their carts. It's a pity; they had all the fun stuff.
Between this and last night's visit to the Fountain Valley neighborhood, I'm almost sated.

All those displays had one glaring flaw, though: No flamingos. The house by the park hasn't got its flock out yet, either, though the owner assured me that they would be there in time for Christmas.

Cinder and I will have to check again tomorrow. I'll let you know what we find.













































1 Well, this year at least it's only "one of the tallest," but that just doesn't sound as grand.

I told you I liked flamingos

No, these aren't the Santa Hat flamingos I mentioned earlier--if memory serves, they won't be out for a while yet---but I do have a fondness for the Pink Ones, and after the gnome post, I figured they deserved a chance to shine.
