facing future

When you have come to the edge of all the light you have
And step into the darkness of the unknown
Believe that one of the two will happen to you
Either you'll find something solid to stand on
Or you'll be taught how to fly!

the light of Christmas

From Tiffany Studios' Christmas Eve window, c. 1902. The window was designed by Thomas Nast Jr.—son of the famous political cartoonist—for his sister's home in New Rochelle, New York.

The Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art houses the world's most comprehensive collection of the works of Louis Comfort Tiffany (1848-1933) including Tiffany jewelry, pottery, paintings, art glass, leaded-glass windows, lamps, and the chapel interior he designed for the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago. The Museum's holdings include a major collection of American art pottery and representative collections of late-nineteenth and early-twentieth century American paintings, graphics, and decorative arts.

Each year, on the first Thursday of December, the Morse Museum helps launch the holiday season in Winter Park (Florida) when it lights up Tiffany windows in Central Park and presents the Bach Festival Choir, Youth Choir, and Brass Ensemble in concert.

Sankta Lucia Day

My adopted hometown in Florida has a history rich in Swedish heritage. Many Swedes came to central Florida in it's early days (which of course were not all that long ago) to find work in agriculture and in building the railroads. Our Historical Society and the Swedish Club of Orlando host a St Lucia celebration every year in honor of their contributions and friendship.

To learn about central Florida's Swedish heritage:

A little gift for my displaced Swedish flickr friend, Helena.

squirrels are curious, too

I was looking out the kitchen window, 50mm lens pressed against the glass, shooting a little squirrel who was again helping himself to a feast of sunflower seeds. He scampered out of my field of vision, and as I was peering through the viewfinder getting ready to shoot something else, suddenly the frame was filled with this curious face! He'd hopped up onto the windowsill and was peeking in the window, not 3 inches from the lens! I don't know who was more startled by what we saw, him or me!!!
