The prompt for Week 36: "your choice"

When you leave it way open like that, Bella, I have
a hard time choosing!  But this shot—our
beautiful Empire State Building all decked out
for Christmas—certainly suits this day.  
There seems to be some controversy lately over
Merry Christmas vs. Happy Holidays, so
I'll just say that whatever you celebrate around
the end of the year . . . I hope it's lovely!

The prompt for Week 35: holiday traditions

Here in NYC, the holiday show at Radio City Music Hall 
is a longstanding tradition.  I've actually only seen it once
(compliments of relatives visiting from out of town, 
and that's when I took this shot).  I'm sure I never 
would have gone otherwise—but I really did enjoy it.
And the Rockettes . . . rock!

The prompt for Week 34: comfort & joy

This is probably supposed to be about the holidays,
but, frankly, the first thing I thought of was chocolate.
I think this applies too—a big, comfy chair 
and a good book to read.  (Even better, this chair 
is at Shakespeare & Co., in Paris, and the books
are there for anyone who wants to curl up 
and read awhile.  Talk about joy!)

Weekend Reflections

Don't know if this happens to you when you're
traveling and taking a zillion pictures, but for me
a theme usually emerges—and for last month's
trip to Paris it turned out to be . . . vines!

[For James, it's probably always reflections;

The prompt for Week 33: polka-dots

I found these polka-dotted pinwheels at the
Boutique du Palais Royal, a wonderful
Paris toy store where you won't find a single
electronic or battery-operated jouet—only the kind
of colorful toys and beautiful dolls that you'd
want for the children in your life.
