We’re into week 4 of Advent now (how is that possible?), and I’m still carrying my camera, looking out for light in likely, unlikely, metaphorical and literal places. So here, some more of my #adventpicaday photos for your viewing pleasure:
Spindly – but sparkly – trees near South Station
Afternoon sun – and some brave golden leaves – in the Public Garden
Whenever I see my long shadow stretching out ahead of me like this, I remember Emily Byrd Starr’s two lines of poetry:
“If we were as tall as our shadows
How tall our shadows would be.”
Our church Christmas pageant last Sunday (complete with either a pink poodle or a rare pink sheep, we’re not sure which).
As always, candlelight and twinkle lights abound in our apartment.
Where are you finding light this Advent?
cakes, tea and dreams 
This, right here, is where I’m finding light. Thank you so much for bringing the holidays to me, and to everyone…
I thought you’d also be happy to hear that I saw my first tree here at the Jerusalem YMCA on Saturday. I think you might be able to still hear my heart singing from that.
What a lovely idea — to photograph lights/lighting — not just NOTICE (which is enough) but to photograph. Taking pictures, I’ve noticed that we have to NOTICE more what we are looking at – we have to be so mindful and in the moment. and then to look back on these pics. Wow. i might take this practice up some time for a season in my life. thank you for this post!
Beautiful!
And I LOVE your snowy blog! How did you do that?!

I am so loving this series and pics. We had beautiful afternoon light today. I took a nap in a pool of it, right next to the lit Christmas tree. 🙂
