Untermeyer Gardens Grand Illumination

We made it to the Untermeyer Gardens Grand Illumination on Christmas Eve. We figured people would be home celebrating so it wouldn't be as busy! It was cold but a lovely night in the garden, taking in the lights. They do such a lovely job illuminating the garden features and paths!

New this year was a pagoda on the lower terrace being all decked out this year. I got a very good chuckle out of the lights on the statue, including a cluster of lights in a specific location!

The Good. The Random. The Fun. v. 1

The Good:

We were in Brooklyn on Saturday night and found a fully gluten-free Italian restaurant. The pizza (with vegan cheese!) was so good! Judah got a pie too and was so impressed by the taste.

The Random:

I got a chuckle out of these mannequins; they just look like the sketches you do in art class!

The Fun:

We went out to eat on NYE and had a fun time - even with the large vent fan in our way (:

52 Frames. Year 10. Part 5.

Another year of framing is complete! There were some very creative themes this year that kept me on my toes and forced the creative juices to keep flowing!

After a full decade of submitting weekly, I am going to take this year off. Ten years of active framing is a lot and pausing after a full decade feels good!

Week 43: Centered Composition
