The most precious light is the one that visits you in the darkest hour. Mehmet Murat İldan
There is joy in the lights!
Lynn reminded me that the holidays happen during the darkest time of the year. Soothing and colorful lights are just what we need this time year.
Paul and I took a drive around Portland last evening in search of lights.
I love the color and the whimsy or the Portland lights.
Paul gave me this Joy Santa years ago....and he feels especially at home holding up the starlight.
MaryAnn, your post evokes strong sensory memories from my childhood when my dad would take my sisters and me for December "lights rides" that felt totally magical, even though the lights we saw were a far cry from today's standards! Thank you for sharing Portland's color and whimsy—those displays feel like festive new year's fun. And I love your strand of little star lights being lifted up for all to see by your little joy Santa.
