Since delighting in snow falling in Philadelphia, I've been dreaming of a "White Christmas." ...of snow-covered plants and shrubs...
...and trees with branches laden with neige blanc.
But it's all an illusion. This faux winter wonderland was created at Les Passages in my neighbourhood.
Glittering lights and ornaments suspended from skylights.
No matter the weather, wherever you are, wishing you a joyous Christmas!
Here our white is most definitely NOT faux. It's the real thing and it's been coming down all day. Tonight it's the wettest snow I've ever seen without turning to rain. I hope your Christmas weather is just right for whatever you're planning.

I love that we have snow and it may snow tomorrow! The actual day. We also have ice and that I don't enjoy so much, but what a great time of year. Merry Christmas!

Your holiday photos have been utterly fantastic in every way. It is so wonderful to be able to see them though your eyes. You always seem to look where I would look and sometimes my breath is taken away. I absolutley love your photography and perspective.
I found your blog just a few weeks ago before the election when I was feeling very alone in my thinking. I am glad the election had a happy outcome. This blog was (and is) a special place to visit.
Wishing you a wonderful holiday!
