California Christmas Displays
Here in southern California, we don't have snow, but the Christmas spirit is alive and well. Our lights and ornaments may hang on green palm trees and we may have blooming roses next to the snowman display, but the joy and sharing of Christmas is the constant no matter where you spend your holiday. These are some of the displays Kris and I photographed when we took the dogs for a walk last night. Something about the sparkling lights warms the heart. Wishing all of you the best holiday surrounded by those you love.

Pelican
These beautiful birds are so amazing to watch. This morning when I took the dogs for a run, there were a flock of pelicans out over the ocean. They were flying so close to the water I was sure they would get wet, but they seem to anticipate every wave and stay inches above the water. With the sky all rosy pink from the sunrise and the water reflecting the pink color, it was a breathtaking sight. It makes me appreciate where I live.
