Starburst

Thank you to those of you who shared where you found some light today.  You found it in cookie making with a grandson...in an unexpected hidden surprise...and the joy in finding the perfect gift. You found it in a morning walk and a pretty sunrise...and you found it in a call from an old friend.  Thanks for letting me know.

Light is like joy....it's always there if you look for it. And sometimes you don't notice it right away.

I was trying to photograph the frost on this bue car this morning....and in the end I got so much more.  Because of the glare...I had to photograph at an angle....and inadvertently caught the morning light and the reflection of the trees....with the perfectly placed frost looking like a dark snowy sky.  

And there's a reflection of my phone which tells the whole story of this magical moment. Capturing a moment and creating a new one at the very same time.

I know I know....I kind of sound like Hallmark Movie.  Tis the season.

And I love this one too.  Look closely...the frost spots look like stars in the early evening sky....with one large starburst over the silhouette of the blue trees. You can't make these moments happen....they just happen. And it's up to us to notice them.

Inspired by the one robust star on the car....Christmas Moment #12 is this fabulous starburst...purchased from the same company where I got the confetti lights.  

It has a 6 hour timer...so perfect for the entryway table with no outlet.  I enjoy it as a night light in the evening....and I love the view all the way down to the Christmas tree. 

I bought he runner on the table from a Fair Trade Christmas Fair at Hancock Church in Lexington.  I love the rich colors and the bit of bling.  A good landing spot for the starburst.

Look who was hiding under the Christmas tree....red on red....barely visible. 

And I only found Betty because I was looking at the morning light streaming in from the playroom  window!  The light....led me to Betty!
