Christmas in the country

 “When we recall Christmas past, we usually find that the simplest things - not the great occasions - give off the greatest glow of happiness. "
― Bob Hope

Wishing you love, hope, peace and joy in the simplest things today & every day to come,

Merry Christmas

Seasonal colours & lights on False Creek

Unexpected

in early December

i went seeking the striking berries

during the silver hour of the day.

but my timing was off --

or perhaps not.

on the other side of the seawall path

a clump of lavender chose to be

seasonally out-of-sync.

Beautyberry

Beautyberry, startlingly colourful, I think of them as December's lilacs.
