calm and bright



outside ABC Home today, a snowy owl greets all who pass by his Broadway window.
can you see the beautiful lace trim which makes up part of his wings?




inside, magic carpets in fuschia create a backdrop for the growing line to see the man in red.....


 
 
outside,  a pair of rabbit ears peek out from under a garden chair in the powdery drift..
 
 
 
 
inside, two girls, sisters perhaps?, with braided pigtails pose patiently like Degas dancers...
 
 
  




outside, pull up a chair and cavort with whimsical creatures of land, sea and air...




inside, have a good cry on Santa's lap...even a parent's playful jig cannot coax....



 


soon, visions of sugar plums will come, and a white Christmas!

Nutcracker Sweet

a wet weekend in the city but everyone still went about their holiday business....



they came down from the mountains to talk trees.....


practice makes perfect ....the coziest of mint green boots with the jazziest of red violin cases....



man's best friends wait dutifully, and one wore red....

nutcracker sweet and off to lincoln center ...


weather proof and candy cane inspired is she....

fa la la la la la la la la!
