winter solstice

lights 3 lights 1
lights 2 candles
candle lights 4

Definitely a season to celebrate!! Finally the days are getting longer. Every day a little more sun. A time for growing, planning and hoping. A true start to a new season.

To celebrate, I've collected photos of light. One of the most beautiful things.
