Proof Santa Exists and Other Bits of Winter

RANDOM BITS OF WINTER 
LIZ SAYS: I took a few bites of the Christmas light fest this year, but frankly, for a variety of reasons, I just wasn’t bitten by the bug. 
I set out to photograph Christmas light displays several times, but instead of a catalog of windows, I ended up with these.
My balcony's geraniums are still flowering, by the way.
