Alluring Lights In Winter Nights
It’s December again! It’s this time of year again when we think about gifts-hunting, gifts-giving and of course gifts-receiving, lol! A mother of my student asked me yesterday if I’d already bought gifts for Christmas. I said no and she also said she hadn’t bought any either. We both laughed because we thought it’d be best to go and buy at the last hour when we wouldn’t need to choose and think but just pick what’s left by the rushers. Anyway, the stores will always be there waiting for us so no hurry.
But if I can’t find anything to give because I am too lazy to look around in the stores, there’s a gift that I thought would be amusing to both children and adults, except maybe to my 80+ year old mother-in-law. How about a free entrance ticket to this amusement park where its lights have been alluring the people for three weeks now. It is grandiosely lighted inside and one will forget about how dark it is in the winter. The children will surely love the different figures of lights like the tree below.

Hubby and I were just outside when we took this picture that’s why there’s a shade of another tree or something in front of the lighted one. Oh, how I absolutely love the lights in this place!

Lights outside Liseberg Theatre
This is the part of the amusement park just outside its theatre. It is amazingly lighted, too. It is normally lights everywhere now that winter nights are nothing but cold and dark.
My Shaky, Shaky Hands
Call it crazy to post this image, but I’m not a professional photographer. I still rely on the auto functions of my digital camera, be it compact or system. I’ve tried to use the different motive settings but it’s not that easy. I can’t remember how I took this pic, perhaps I turned off the flash or something. I usually try taking pics with or without flash to see the difference. Sometimes it depends on the light condition of the place, sometimes it depends on the camera’s quality that an image taken with or without flash comes out good, if not perfect. Although most of the times, perhaps, depends on the hands of the photographer. Just like the one who took this pic. Ahhh!

I-rrish co coff-ee, an-ny o-one?
In need of image database
I thought of posting the pic of the stadium where Madonna held a two night-concert last weekend, and which I took a few months ago but that picture has gone somewhere, buried in my stock of images. While looking through all folders, I realized my photos were like hit by a tsunami scattered everywhere. It wasn’t even easy to find in the My Pictures folder because of the way the folders were named. I found lots of images, yes, good and bad. And the worse image above, lol! Desperate to find what I was looking for, I searched for an image database instead and I found a couple of sites. I want to know how you keep track of all your digital photos cos it’s a waste of time browsing through all image folders when you are looking for just one.
Violets Are Blue

If I were to tell the color of this flower, I would say blue. I maybe color blind. In a sense, violet is a mixture of red and blue light that’s why at a first glance I see blue. But isn’t it lovely, be it blue or violet.
There are a lot of violet flowers and I have a hard time looking for the name of this kind. The one that’s closer to it is the so called Pansy or Pansy Violets. I’m not hundred per cent sure it is, cos the petals of this are not divided unlike the ones I’ve found while searching.
