Winter Berries on the Lipscomb Campus

Here are some photos I took on today's morning walk. The weather was gorgeously sunny, almost warm, with temperatures in the mid-50s, but the south wind felt quite chilly. I needed my scarf to keep my ears from aching, and I felt a bit cold whenever I was in a shady patch of sidewalk. The summery look of the blue sky in these pictures is deceptive.

Moonset

I missed seeing December's full moon rise yesterday evening, but I waked up early this morning and caught it as it was setting beyond my back fence, seemingly hanging from the bare branch of a small tree.

Wind-blown holly twigs for Christmas

The recent storms have rained many beautiful little holly twigs, so glossy and bright, so festive with their red berries, all over my driveway. I took some photos and made one of them into my 2013 Christmas card.
