  4. I am trying to think of what it is about your blog posts that is so appealing..you are a wonderful photographer and use prose so beautifully..but it is more than that. Maybe it is your city..so charming and traditional....Maybe all these things come together so well...

  7. Wonderful holiday moments captured today! Christmas store displays make me feel like a kid again!!All kinds of possibilities for Christmas morning. The Ring Hotel shot looks so mystical. You and your camera are quite a team!!

    It snowed in Dallas yesterday! It was just a light dusting but everything was still and quiet. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!! :D

    Happy Holidays, Merisi!

  12. These all look as if they were fashioned out of fairy dust. Charming! They remind me of things my grandmother used to have.

  13. You asked about my duck photos. The pond is right by my yard. I can sit and see the ducks a few feet away. They get used to me being there and I can take many photos that way. Thank you for your kind comments, as they are very much appreciated

  14. Your comments really touch my heart.
    I am sorry that there are lately way too many days where all I manage to do is put a new post up, but do not find the time to answer your comments and visit you at the same time. I do appreciate your visits and comments, each and every single one, and I am looking forward to see you at your own place whenever possible.

  17. All that glitters...in some cases, is better than gold!

  18. How absolutely wonderful! Your photos are stunning. Thanks so much for sharing them.

    A couple of years ago we spent Christmas in Vienna and I've never felt closer to a fairytale in all my life! (Almost all my Christmases have been in Africa....so you can imagine my wide-eyed wonder at the beauty of it all.)

  21. Great pics! I wandered over from David McMahon's when I saw your post's title. That's what I was going to use, but went with a different title at the last moment. I suggested an entirely different perspective on glitter.

    I really do love these photographs! Happy holidays, Merisi.

  22. As always, Merisi, your shots are filed with sweetness (this time, in most instances, literally!)
