New Years eve....2010...come along with me on a walk along the Trail of Lights
under this ever present Blue moon....truly once in a blue moon kind of night
the creek lit with tiny lights
trees wrapped, magically lighting our way
a fairy land look to be sure
the original ranch house...
decorated for the season and offering a warm place to escape the cold
other places...to escape and play around...
some of our little elves throwing a smoke bomb or two, just to add some more color
we wore glasses that turn the lights into snowflakes (glasses placed in front of the camera lens) dancing with the full moon
I wish you a happy new year...one full of light and magic.
sssoooo beautiful! I love each and every one of these images. you did a great job capturing the blue moon...smooches

Thank you for the wonderful walk. I enjoyed it very much. I too watched the blue moon. I may not get to see it again. What is it, once every 19 or so years? Happy New Years Stephanie. Take care and enjoy.

So sparkly and beautiful. Nothing like some dazzle in the darkness to start the New Year off right. These are great, Steph! What aperture and shutter speed did you use to capture them?
