Bulbs de Noel

A couple of days ago I strung colored Christmas lights around the perimeter of our front garden for the kids. Of course, they love the lights.

But somewhat surprising to me: so do I!

This set of photos is of individual bulbs. They are extreme handheld close-ups with my Lens Baby. Only routine Photoshop post-processing was used.

The lights may be hokey, but they are fun. Up really close, they look like strange flowers to me: very appropriate for a garden!




When I look at these pictures (and at the actual lights), I’m tempted, like Austin Powers but in a different context, to say, “Shag-a-delic, baby, shag-a-delic!”
