What’s the opposite of blah? I would love some cold and snow and white – instead we had weather that is too warm for the season but not comfortable, no deluges but also not really dry (which I can tell by the mud I drag into the house after a walk), greyish sky, with the occasional foggy periods. In other words: it’s been blah.
So I thought I pick a photo that is not perfect as a photo but I think that conveys the joy of being outdoors.

In Germany, traditionally Christmas decorations go out after 6 January (the twelfth night). So until then my lights will have a definitive festive feel about them.

And yes! on day 2 I am already messing with the word light (yet only following Becky’s instructions). But I think it’s justified for the challenge, since the happy chappy is backlit so beautifully!

“Ring out the false, ring in the true”

Horses seemed a fairly innocent image to answer this quote.

Yippeh! It’s the New Year! And Squares are back in style! Hurrah!
Although I did not indulge in a private fireworks display (haven’t done so in years – there are many reasons for not doing it but my turning point came when we spent a New Year’s Eve in a holiday resort in Germany and we saw the disgusting amount of rubbish on the streets the next morning) how else could one start day 1 of a month long theme of light? Rocketlights (I warned you, I’m German, I know how to do compound nouns!) rushing towards the New Year! And in case you haven’t noticed: It’s a tie-in with the last square challenge of squares & lines.
