Let there be Light




At this time of year, with my good camera out of action again,
 and Donna (from Cottage Days and Journeys)'s timely LET THERE BE LIGHT
as the subject for this month's photo challenge
I have to humbly submit my phone photos
 from the Christmas pageant at church last weekend.

Not great photos, but I think they capture the Spirit of the occasion.
Especially as that beautiful Star in the last photo actually travelled across the church during the play.

Grand daughter amused us by asking all the way through the play...
"Where's baby Jesus"

and then at the end, when he had finally arrived in the last scene
she was saying to everyone
"shhh...don't wake him up"!

I think she knows all about babies, since one arrived at their house not long ago!!
It has been wonderful to listen to the Christmas story on disc in the car whenever we go anywhere, accompanied by the book and pictures...one that I bought in NYC a few years ago now.


At Christmas in Australia, there is certainly enough light and sunshine...


making us appreciate the deep shade..

May God's Light shine upon you this week!!

Awwww!! The children are beautiful.
Love their little lights! Great idea for the light shots.
Merry Christmas to you!

Your granddaughter is sweet with her candle and so like a little one infatuated with a new baby.
I like the back lighting of the three wise men.

God's wonderful light is everywhere, isn't it? These are all lovely examples of different kinds of lights. I have two favorites - the first two! The light of your granddaughters happy spirit shines ever so brightly in both of those! Great job, Annie. (And no worries about what type of camera your use.) Thank you for wanting to participate!

Hard to imagine Christmas in the heat of summer! We have about 4 inches of new snow here - it's been coming down most of the day! Your photos show that Christmas comes no matter the environment!
Your kids are so sweet and it looks like such a happy time. You take amazing photos! Happy holidays to you and your sweet family!

Enjoy your warm Christmas - we are preparing for a doozy of a snowstorm...

My favorite is the shot of the two children. Lights and children make for a great Christmas.

Oh what sweet photos to feature "light"! Your pretty little granddaughter sure lights up a room!
Hi Annie,

Thanks for your comment. The photo challenge was lots of fun and I think I'll try it again next month. It must be frustrating not to have your good camera on hand for the Christmas season.

The light on your granddaughter's face in the second photo is lovely.
I'm very impressed with the travelling star too!!
Lovely to meet you Annie - I live next door (almost) across the ditch in New Zealand!
Hugs
Shane
