Christmas Colors Across the Southwest


Here are some of the holiday lights and decorations I captured around the southwest this season, for Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge – Holiday Colors.

Holiday decorations at the Bellagio in Las Vegas.

Las Vegas has a lot of decorations, but the Bellagio’s gardens are my favorite, using all natural plant and organic materials (except for the lights and ornaments).

The San Diego Zoo also has decorations that I really enjoy amongst the exhibits.

Can’t have Christmas without reindeer — and they’re cute, even if it is at the zoo and not in the wild.

I hope everyone has a peaceful and relaxing holiday season!

I am an avid nature and ecology lover and enjoy sharing my photography in my blog writings. I will often be out early in the morning or late in the evening with my camera, trying to capture the peacefulness and beauty around me.
