Lights of the Season

My favorite part of the holiday season has to be the lights.... They create such a magical feeling.

I'm way behind on my holiday decorating....In fact, this is all I've done so far! The lovely light from this rusty lantern caught my eye as I was zipping by this evening.... 'picture perfect' I thought....

snap....snap...snap....

There's nothing like a sparkly holiday tree. Or how 'bout a sparkly puppy dog? Oh my goodness...so precious.... or...some homespun holiday cheer. 

Have you captured a little twinkle magic....or maybe some inspired holiday cheer....this year? Share with us today.

I decorated our tree a week ago and took a heap of pictures. The bokeh and out of focus was a lot of fun!

I used bokeh and cranberries to give my header a seasonal spin and this is a glimpse of our holiday fun.

Gorgeous light. I'm glad you chose this today... so much that is easy to love about the lights of Christmas. And for me, there isn't light without the bokeh.

i so agree kim. we need the warmth and glow of twinkle lights in these shorter darker winter days. the glow is just happiness making. these little snowflake lights were a surprise in the mail for my little ones from my faraway best friend. snail mail love.

I made a homemade heart bokeh lens filter last year to capture my "tree love." I'm thinking about doing it again this year: http://www.flickr.com/photos/stephaniecourt/5236157822/in/set-72157624307308583/

I love the lights that come out during the holidays. I think I've shot a bokeh tree shot every day this week!

<b><a href="http://www.japan-timberland.com/"title="ティンバーランド">ティンバーランド</a></b>　オリンパスの第三者委員会や関係者によると、オリンパスは１９９０年代に財テクに失敗して含み損を抱え、少なくとも平成１０年ごろから森久志前副社長（５４）や山田秀雄前監査役（６６）らが大手証券会社ＯＢとともに、損失を投資ファンドなどに移し替える「飛ばし」を考案し、実行。菊川剛前会長（７０）ら歴代社長も報告を受けていた。

　<b><a href="http://www.japan-timberland.com/"title="ティンバーランド">ティンバーランド</a></b>オリンパスがこうした手法によりファンドに飛ばした損失は１５年の時点で１１７７億円。同社は１８～２０年に行われた国内外４社の買収で支払った計１３４８億円を還流させ、穴埋めに充てたとされる。

　<b><a href="http://www.timberlandboots-jp.net/"title="ティンバーランド">ティンバーランド</a></b>森、山田両氏はこれまでの特捜部の任意聴取に対し、損失隠しへの関与を認めた上で、菊川氏へも逐一報告していたことに言及。菊川氏は三者委に「損失隠しは知っていたが、額については最近知った」と証言しており、特捜部は近く菊川氏からも事情聴取する。

　<b><a href="http://www.timberlandboots-jp.net/"title="ティンバーランド">ティンバーランド</a></b>監視委は刑事処分とは別に、同社が４社買収による資金捻出で損失処理を終えていることから、行政処分である課徴金を科すよう金融庁に勧告する見通しだ。
