I love that at this time of year even Evening’s swanning light cooperates with Mr. Electricity to say, “Happy Holidays!”
Do you see it too?
So much gold shining bright…
…mixed with wondrous sapphire skies keeping the Christmas star well-hidden until the night of the 24th.
There is peace here…
…within a quiet so profound that my footsteps, my breathing feels muffled, scarf-covered and warm.
Or maybe that is just how it is for me in this little corner of Provence.
I am thinking of you all and that it has been over four years for me of writing at Lost in Arles. I have seen so much beautiful spirit in the blogging community recently and not only because of the time of year. I find it incredibly inspiring and hope that you do as well. May we all continue to be night lights for each other in the dark.

Camera update: These were taken with an SLR that Remi is lending me. Apparently, I don’t know as much about working in manual as I thought that I did. But I will get there and it still felt wonderful to head out with a camera in hand just because I could. Thanks for staying with me during this bumpy time. And if your eyes are left lacking, there is always the archives to dig into. 😉
With my Best from Provence,
Heather
How did you find me??? It makes me want to go back in the comments to look for clues…maybe you saw a comment that I left on Vicki's or Sharon's blog that caught your eye?? And yes, thank you for all of the happiness and dreaming that you inspire…
Cheers right back to you Deborah and merci! Such a lovely comment. 🙂
Thank you that is much appreciated from you.
This is such a special Christmas for you Sister…your first in your amazing home…on a Christmas tree farm! It doesn't get better than that!!! Stay calm and carry on…I Love You!
These particular photos were taken just after my favorite time of day. 🙂
Let's just keep that on repeat, Joan.
And to you, sweet lady…raising a glass of (imaginary) egg nogg!
In "Auto" you're an observer. In "Manual" you become an artist. As least that's what I've learned through my journey so far. You're so lucky to have Remi there to guide you. Personally, I think your photos tell a story and they tell it well and that's a skill unto itself. PS. If it weren't for your blog we never would have met. How cool is that?
It has been a pleasure…through all the years. xx
Happy Christmas Heather- thank you for sharing your beautiful world 🙂
