Merry Christmas!

We had some cold clear weather the days leading up to Christmas.  I always love this view of the bridges and the mountains behind.
 Inside the River Market you found Christmas lights here and there.
 A bit of cotton batting and some snowflakes on a green cut out tree.

The sun was dazzling on the river.
 Strawberry plant self seeded on the stairs leading to Rita's home.
 Can you spot the red strawberry just days before Christmas.  This is why we are called the banana belt of Canada!
 I love this picture thru the lobby window with a perfect reflection and that one rogue cloud.
 Setting sun thru the trees on Poplar Island.
 Crescent moon coming into view, what a perfect sunset.
 Christmas Eve I drove my mom around the uptown neighbourhood to see some of the homes.  Santa on one side of the house.
 Rudolph on the other.
 Love the effect of blurred Christmas lights.
 This is my favourite.
 Went out for a walk along the quay.  Large Christmas lights along this neighbours balcony.
 Red and green and white for this one.
 Four low buildings in this complex, with tall towers behind.
 Looking across at the Queensborough area of New Westminster.
 Same photo with a flash.
 Looking at the Surrey Fraser docks across the river.
 Frosty and friend lit up for Christmas.
 Micky and Friend flying in to say hi!
 Simple snowflakes and garland lights.
 Neighbours lighting up their corner of the world.
 Merry Christmas.
 Star Light, Star Bright.
 Santa made by my friend Anna and gifted to me last year.
 And we awoke to a white Christmas this morning.  Just a dusting but still it snowed after midnight!
 Courtyard view, interesting there is more snow on the salted sidewalk than on the grass.
 Yesterday it never got above freezing and the water is starting to form ice.
 Not quite enough snow to make a snowman yet but take the advise from one.
 Oh how I've seen people like this, not today though!
Enjoy your day with family and friends and have a very Merry Christmas!

More Christmas Lights

Last night was perfect for another Christmas Light tour, we headed over to the Kensington area of North Burnaby.
 Love this Santa with his reindeer and candy canes.
 This house was spectacular, I can't imagine how many hours it took to put together.
 Check out the train on the flat section of roof.
 So many Christmas trees, lights wrapped around trunks, snowflakes abound.
 So much to take in.
 Love all the snowflakes hanging on the outside of the house.
 Candy canes along the edge of the property.
 One last view as we turn the corner.
 Is that the Tasmanian devil dressed as Santa along the fence?
 Another lovely house with a bit more subtle lighting.  To the right there were lovely multi-pointed stars.
 Over to Central Burnaby and the Burnaby Village Museum, dancing ladies under the snowflakes.
 A bit closer look.
 Their large Christmas tree in the parking lot looks great.
 Along Edmonds there are these snowflake banner lights.
 Then down to Columbia Street in New Westminster looking back west.
 One of the main trees along the street decked with simple strands of white lights and snowflakes.
 Looking east along Columbia Street.
 Love the lighted crown representing the Royal City, New Westminster was the first capital of British Columbia before it was moved to Victoria on Vancouver Island.
 Shooting stars and another Christmas tree uptown at 6th Street and 6th Avenue.  Can you believe that tonight at 8:49 PST it is the Winter Solstice!  The first day of Winter and the days will be slowly getting longer!
