I have been singing this song in my head for weeks. Or humming it whilst scoffing another mince pie “to get me in the seasonal spirit”. So it came as no surprise really that this was Tara’s theme for this week’s Gallery.
The thought did cross my mind to photograph a pile of Christmassy food. Or crumbs from the mince pie I just scoffed. Or my list of lists of things to do / buy / order / organise. Or wrap the presents I have already bought and try and be smug with my “look at all of these” picture. This time last year I had gift bags all lined up, one for each recipient in the family, all presents wrapped. This year, not so much I am afraid.
I decided I was going to publish a picture of our real tree that is now up. Not decorated yet, alas but it does demonstrate that it is looking a bit Christmassy in our house. I took the pic and then set off to do the school run with E. I mentioned I was doing this blog post and that it looked quite Christmassy as we drove through the trees so she grabbed my phone and snapped away all the way to school.
Just after 8am as the sun came up she took this
Slightly out of focus and the camera on my phone is not great but what a fantastic picture. Sun coming up and frost on all the trees.
It certainly is starting to look a lot like Christmas
That is a gorgeous photo! Very Christmassy indeed!
Lovely picture! I saw some amazing skyscapes on the way to work this morning but alas no passenger to capture them for me 🙁
The cold and the frost does make it seem Christmassy doesn’t it?
Gorgeous!
Makes me feel chilly just looking at it xxx
OK, you’re driving and taking photos again. Somebody call the Fuzz!
Read it again Helen 🙂 “On the way to school E grabbed my phone and started taking photos”
Nice!
I was a) still in bed
b) still asleep
Keep up the good work all you early risers!
Just lovely. You will look back on photos like this in years to come, when you’re no longer required for the school run, and you will pine for the days of cold, frosty mornings when they frost is so hard everything looks magical.
Great photo, the light is fantastic. I love the frost on the trees.
That’s gorgeous! We never get frosts like that around here because we’re right on the coast; hardly ever get snow either.
That frost is good enough to adorn the front of any christmas card so definitely fits the theme 🙂
Totally!
I agree its not the price of your camera that determines the perfect shot!
