The following photo is my own, which I took on my cellphone on December 2nd. I had an appointment with my ophthalmologist that day in a hospital, and I came across this Christmas display as I was walking in the hospital to my appointment I thought it was cute and decided to take this photo. You can click on the image to see a larger view.
This photo I took in a Montreal park. The red balls you see in this photo are actually lights! I was thrilled with the way the city decorated this park. They also made a skating rink in the park for anyone wanting to get some exercise by enjoying some time skating.
The white snowflake you see in this photo is another light that the city put up...this time attached to a street lamp.
As those of you who are regular followers of my blog know, all the photos I have been sharing are taken on my cellphone. You will also know that I am new at taking night shots. These beautiful trees were in the same park as the above photos. I managed to get close enough to capture these two trees, and I am very happy with the way it turned out! You can see shimmers of the red lights reflecting on the snow! :) Yes, I now have this on my blog header!

For all my fellow cat lovers, this will bring a smile or laugh, it is pretty cute! Enjoy! :)

Joy doesn't simply happen to us we have to choose it every day.
ReplyDeleteWe need to recite this every morning when we wake up :)
I love all the photos about perspective. Yes, sometimes we do just need to look at things from a different viewpoint to get the full meaning. I enjoyed these...those cats with the Christmas tree...well, I can't imagine allowing that to happen, but I guess that's why my cat still lives outside. LOL. He's getting closer every day, however, to coming in...but I just can't imagine letting him take over the Christmas tree! But I guess cats are kind of hard to control...they seem to have a mind of their own. LOL. Merry Christmas!!
ReplyDeleteThose are beautiful pictures you took, Linda!
ReplyDeleteThe white kitten in your first photo is so cute! The O Christmas Tree video made me laugh! The lyrics are so apt and the antics of those kitties are hilarious! Thank you for the good laugh!
ReplyDeleteLove all of these. Your photos are wonderful. I enjoy seeing the decorations this time of year
ReplyDeleteOh Christmas Tree your ornaments are history....true!
ReplyDelete... Oprah Winfrey is right, "he smallest change in perspective can transform a life" and you attitude determines your altitude!
ReplyDeletemorning greetings from malaysia! all your photos that u took using your handphone are awesome! i love 'em all!! for today, i choose this quote: Joy does not simply happen to us. We have to choose joy and keep choosing it every day. - Henri Nouwen... anyway, at my place, it is now rainy season, some areas are flooded (my area not affected). so the weather is gloomy with intermittent drizzling...cool temperature too... it reminds me of winter that I had in nottingham, UK many2 years ago...gloomy winter yet i miss it so much! have a nice day linda! sending u virtual hugs from afar
ReplyDeleteGreat words of wisdom again. Love the gull picture with the different perspective!!
ReplyDeleteHi Linda! The close-up of the tree is very, very cool. I love them all though. Love when you post photos. These are wonderful and so are all of the memes today. Love the Christmaseeee fun.
ReplyDeleteHi Linda! Thank you for sharing with us. Your photos from your cell phone turned out so well. I love the red Christmas tree outside. My favorite meme today is this one:
ReplyDelete“ When a photographer can't change a scene, he changes his angle and lens to capture the best of that scene. Similarly, when you can't change a situation in your life, change your perspective and mindset to get the best out of that situation”
Mindset is such a great tool to utilize. If we can get our mind set on something we can do wonders! I hope you’re having a terrific evening.
That seagull has the right idea.
ReplyDeleteSometimes you need to look at life from a different perspective. :) With the one bird in the opposite direction.
ReplyDeleteAlso, like the two pink lights - very pretty.
I like that Charles Schutlz quote.
ReplyDeleteYour night photos are great!
Good evening Linda it's about 9.30pm over the other side of the globe 🌎 love your theme today, perspective, Christmas joy and laughter, let me add on, turn your weakness into your strength! Loving all the lovely pet cats photos and quotes. Encouraging, positive and full of wisdom as usual. Ok got to ciao.
ReplyDeleteNice photos, Linda! Thank you as always for your uplifting posts! :)
ReplyDeleteYour blog header cellphone photo is fabulous! Lots of good Christmas memes here too. But my favourite things are the Jesus video and the Cat's xmas carol -- so funny!
ReplyDeleteLove your quotes, photos and videos. I'll never get tired of watching cats having fun with the Christmas trees! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteLinda, the real things are almost always about what we can't see and we can choose joy every day that we draw breath. And you have sure nailed it with the Just for Laughs video and the cat attack on the Christmas tree. Jesus appears to solve our troubles and the cats simply remind us that He already has. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteWhile I did laugh at the fighting Santas, I would not have been happy for my child to witness that.
ReplyDeleteChrist the car starter was better.
Adorei toda a publicação. Muito bom gosto na escolha do tema e das imagens. Gostei mais daquela da Oprah Winfrey "The smallest change in perspective can transform a life".
ReplyDeleteUm Feliz Natal pra você!
Beijos, Marli
Sometimes you just need a new perspective on things! I will keep this in mind!
ReplyDeleteDear Linda, the night photos U took are very nice and full of a white Christmas ⛄ feel. I can feel the ❄️ cold festive air looking at your photos. The red lights reflected on the snow ❄️ is really lovely. Very suitable to be used on your header 👍😊
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness; your night shot photo of the trees is gorgeous!! And I love the fancy lights they put up. The little hospital scene is so cute and cheerful. And your header looks good!
ReplyDeleteDear Linda, I forgot to ask about your eyes. Since your visit to the opthalmologist, I hope your eyes are all ok. 🙏
ReplyDeletePerspectives are very important indeed!
