Sunrise, sunset.. and Christmas!



Inevitable! I turn my back for a minute and the city goes all Christmassy :) Thankfully Aimee was there to capture some of the highlights. Instead of the usual Christmas parade this year the Christmas Lights Trail can be followed each night right up until 25th December. Here just a few of the photos Aimee captured on Friday night during the first night debut. Hoping to take our Sydney famille to see the lights when they arrive for Christmas. How was your weekend? Mine was super hectic.. but in a good way! Happy Monday, take care and stay safe.. P.s. merci beaucoup Aimee for allowing me to use your photos!

  2. My weekend has been fine - at least I haven't been required to dress up as a Christmas present, or hang around upside down doing the splits!

  3. We have so little here as yet to remind us that Christmas is on its way. I have seen one small tree next to Santa's house and that is it. Looks like lots of fun there though. Have a good day Diane

  5. What great fun! You Perthians do know how to put together a good time. And Aimee knows how to capture the frolic with her camera. Love that first shot - the reindeer look startled like they just noticed that Santa has fallen from the sleigh. "What do we now?" asks Rudolph. Nobody answers. Reindeer eyes can see the approaching Christmas Apocalypse!

  8. I can see you passed your talent onto Aimee. Christmassy indeed. Before we realize it Christmas will be upon us and then it'll be 2018!

    Wonderful shots by Aimee.

  11. I like the way you do Christmas. (I've always thought the whole "White Christmas" bit was overrated. It has nothing to do with the real meaning of Christmas anyway.)

  12. Christmas, I see is well and on its way. Aimee took some nice pics. Santa arrives here on the firetruck the 3rd of Dec.

    Have a wonderful week ahead Grace.

  13. Lovely Christmas images, but I am unsure of the symbolism with pretty, young women as Christmas packages?

    1. One of those presents was a guy - I don't think there was anything dodgy there symbolism-wise 😁

  14. Colour and movement is what it is all about, and there seems to be plenty.

  19. Driving through our town last evening I noticed a Christmas tree in someone's home already. A bit early for me :). The photos are beautiful, love all the colours.

  20. Quite some impressive event. And astonishing astonished-looking reindeer.

  21. Beautiful, Grace. Christmas trees have been set up, but are still naked over here.

  22. Oh it's only the middle of november and |I'm not ready for the deluge of Christmassy things! i was in a toy shop at the weekend and the Christmas music really annoyed me. I think I must be turning into a proper grinch.
    Lovely pictures of a Christmas parade in the summer!
