up close and personal

 My eye (and camera) catches views as I walk around our house.
 I'm always curious to see if my close up lens actually works...or that I can make it work.  :-)




 Since it hasn't been so cold here, this is a great substitute for a fire in the fireplace.
The Gardener finally agrees with me. 
Last December we used 50% more fuel to heat our house than we have so far this year.

  8. Podso,
    These photos are gorgeous! My favorite has to be the glass cake stand with the bowl of blue, gold, white and silver ornaments. White plates in the background and the crochet doilie are stunning!
    Fondly,
    Pat

  9. Lovely, Podso, so fun to see what you are putting together. Your close-ups are great, much nicer than mine, I am still learning, too.

  11. Your home looks very pretty and festive for Christmas. I love the candlelight grouping.

    I just returned home from celebrating Christmas early with my children and grandchildren...we had wonderful times together!

  12. I think that candle light is just as romantic too (wink).
