This image caught my attention (and my camera is never far away). This is a perfect illustration of my emotions. I have so much to be grateful for (“sunshine”) but this is the most difficult time of the year for me (“shadows”). Holidays are “a family time of year” and I’m not connected to my family. Because of Covid, I am isolated—and depressed.

Plastic bulbs from strings of Christmas lights destined for the dumpster. Simply a matter of unscrewing the bulb from the base. I think they are pretty and colorful.
