    really is a lovely shot of Winter.

    2nd Robbsy1 - The willows by lake
    again, a lovely shot of Winter.

    3rd Marley Farley - Silver wreath
    Bet you made it specifically for the photo ;) .


    Well done this month people, it was difficult to choose a top 3 (AGAIN).

    Difficult choice but I'm keeping with the 'Spirit of Christmas' too.

    1st. petal:- Grandson Thomas. Sums up all the mystery and overwhelming excitement of Christmas.

    2nd. Marley Farley:- Silver wreath. Beautifull work

    3rd. jjordie:- Wrapping paper chaos. Looks like a real Christmas morning in the jordie household ;)

    (Edit was just a typo)

    Hard decision again so I was looking for a plant association. My choice for this month is:-
    1. Fran's Holly (because I always associate holly with Christmas and this is a gardening website)
    2. Pete's Hyacinths (for the same reasons as above)
    3. Frogesque's Crystal Flowers (because it was such a beautiful picture and would be ideal on a Christmas Card).
    Well done to everyone. I enjoyed seeing the pictures and although there can only be one winner it is interesting and pleasurable to see how everyone else interprets the theme.

    Thinking of the theme Spirit of Christmas for me

    1. Petal's swimmer - very much spirit of christmas.

    2. Marley Farley's silver wreath - quite beautiful icy christmas.

    3. Robbsy's peacful winter scene - again spirit of christmas in a natural sense.

    But it was difficult, even sticking to the theme.

    [​IMG] Well quite an assortment of pictures this month, but after much deliberation my choices are as follows:- [​IMG]

    1st. Frogesque's Santa stop here sign with the Robin witing next to it..!! Very good.. Robins are definately part of the spirit of Christmas..

    2nd. Sudobie's Christmas tree in Delhi. I never thought of them celebrating it there in a similar way to us. Never been there for Christmas, I suppose is the answer to that....

    3rd. Paladins wierd bird house. I think this is very much the spirit of Christmas as we all get something useless or ugly or plain wierd for Christmas don't we??
