More beautiful lights on homes in Black Mountain

 

An incredibly well decorated home and yard...this photo was taken by someone standing across the street. We just drove slowly by it, on East Cotton St., Black Mountain NC


We tried to capture that amazing star which hung up in a tree!


It was fun to drive close to all these lights!


Then we drove around and captured a few other homes' lights.

And this one just didn't work. I have no idea why the camera didn't focus on the lights...but this is what it's automatic setting did.


I love the snowflakes around the roof edge! But a very nice picket fence as well!

Worrying is bullshit. Worry is fear; it is a monumental waste of time, because it’s not something we can do anything about—all it does is serve to make us miserable. Eckert Tolle

    ...these are so well done, which isn't always the case here.

      Sometimes there are lots of blow-ups in a yard, but I think they weren't turned on by the time we drove by this evening.

    Although I would miss the snow, I am somewhat jealous of people seeing and photographing lights when it is not well below freezing.

      Yes indeed...it's been shirt-sleeve weather (up to 70 several afternoons) in the last week. Not a good trend I'm thinking. Come on down, and maybe you can bring some of that white stuff!

      I agree, and I was glad to drive around and see a few of them.

      Thank you. The homeowners must have put some dollars into investing in them!

    I love looking at others' lights although I'm much too lazy to do any of my own.

      I had a couple of strings of the tiny white lights...but never got around to putting them up. If my son had visited, I would have asked him to do it. Sigh. The family is all well again and going about their lives. I'm glad my granddaughter is over her second bout of COVID.
