Not even a ‘house’ but a replica in honor of a beloved doctor who passed away earlier this year. It is a 60’ reproduction of his family’s home he decorated each year for about 30 years for the public’s enjoyment. Even included live reindeer, the Grinch and of course Santa. The Galaxy Guys & Gals (my DH is one of the volunteers) work from Aug to Nov getting this light display set up in our Botanical Garden. Several worked in the design, welding and lighting of this house and a few of his other displays the Garden acquired. Happy Holidays!

We live in a city, with a population of 28, 000, but there's still plenty of wildlife, tucked in wooded areas.

This is a test - I haven't been able to post a photo here all day. But I just posted this photo of candles on the Home Decor-Conversations forum. I'm going to see if it posts here. Oh how weird. It did show up. Now I'll try the photo that I wanted for this thread - nope - it still won't let me add that photo so here's a substitute. Blue's my favorite color.

They're one of my favorite Aussie birds - big, noisy, with a distinctive, wave-like kind of flight pattern. We saw them regularly where we used to live.
