NEIGHBORHOOD DECORATIONS 12-18-24

 When we were driving home last Wednesday, I asked if we could go the long way round to see the neighborhood lights. There were a lot of blurry ones, but I weeded out these to share with you.


I usually crop them so as not to show the whole house, but thought the sky was really pretty in this one. We were approaching the twilight hour. Below is the same photo but a closer view of the decorations.


The reindeer and sleigh were on the other side of their driveway.


Another photo and that sky. There were more pretty lights than actual figures, but I thought it was a lovely display.


And another house with pretty lights and sky.


and the same house a little closer this time.


Next here comes the snowman and toy soldier.


Another snowman with Mickey Mouse, penguins and BabyYoda, the character on one of the Star Wars shows on TV. 


A fuzzy picture of a few dinosaurs and another snowman.


Another dinosaur and a snowman.


and finally a Christmas Tree with reindeer.


People went to a lot of work to get their displays up, and I took photos of one couple in the process, not realizing they were there in the darkness until I took a good like on my laptop. I haven't shared that one. They didn't seem to notice us, and I didn't see them in the dark. There were many other decorations, but people were coming home and we didn't want to block traffic. I took these photos as we drove by. Hopefully, I will be able to get out again soon.

  1. Thank you very much, Denise, for sharing these neighbourhood decorations. They are so beautiful! Surprisingly, I was even able to pick a favourite: the garden of the 6th (and 5th) photo is so pretty with the line of round shrubs decorated with lights.
    Thank you for your comment today! The images of my Advent calendar, and the header image, have been created with an online image generator. I have tried to illustrate my Christmas dreams with them. :)
    A very merry Christmas to you! xx

  2. I love it! I really like how you show the entire yard, then just zero in on a detail!! My favorite is the third one, it is beautiful!! How on earth did you get such clear and brilliant shots in such low light, almost dark?
