Yes, the longest day of the year is coming soon. Craving the light.
This is the third year I’ve photographed this house.
I love how they go all out.
One year I sent it as my Christmas Card cause it looked like a Gingerbread Candy House all lit up.
This year I took the photo with my iPhone, just two shots.
I think they’ve changed to LED lights. It must take a tremendous amount of time to install all these lights.
Will I remember to drive by in July and see if they leave them up all year round, such a lot of time to decorate? Probably not.
At the end of the post, if you scroll down, you can see the string of lights Steve added to the front of our house. When I drove home from Ohio Wednesday night, I saw the colorful beacon along the driveway and it touched me that he put up a string of lights and plugged them in. Reminiscent of Charlie Brown’s sweet little tree. He must have found them in the garage.
You can see why I am so attracted to the over the top display highlighting the architectural details of the Morningside home. So cheerful in the dark night.
Here is the 2015 view taken Thursday night.
The 201o version above.
Lone string of lights on bare branch tree to stave off the darkness at my house. Less is more?
