Took today off from work. My foot was ‘yelling’ at me that I was doing too much! So, got my folks and niece to help me get a Christmas tree!
Smells fabulous! But haven’t kept the foot elevated like the surgeon’s office said when I called them…. BUT my tree is two thirds decorated!
Took a few ornament shots, as a break from decorating the tree.

I bought this ornament one year when I went on a buying binge of old antique ornaments like the ones we have from my Mom’s childhood!
(Parents are still using those on their tree!) So, I hunted high and low for some of these antique ornaments. This reminds me
of my favorite old ornament on my parents’ tree, though not identical! Love the curly metallic ‘mesh’!

Back to decorating… !

You made a wondrful photo of this beautiful Chrismas ornament Mindy.. The crispness of the curly thing that holds the ball is so nice to look at. :)

beautiful ornament, lovely light! your foot my be shouting, but your eyes and camera brain are ignoring!! Again, beautiful

That is indeed a beautful ornament. I really like the division of colors on each side of it. Bits of green to the left and red on the right and a wonderful sense of warmth overall. .

Very pretty ornament. Nice color and light here.

Love that net stuff. This one needs to be a card. Now.
Watch that foot, girl. We're gonna raise a pitcher, sooner or later. Better be sooner.

Mindy, this is just beautiful. I agree you need a crown and are the Macro Queen, no, Emporess! My mom has some very pretty and unusual ornaments, now I will have to go in search after seeing your picture! (get another tripod for your foot and put the foot and camera on one and shoot more).

Very pretty!

So many lovely colors in one image. The ornament is very special. I still have some of my Mom and Dad's ornaments. My best memory is putting up little houses under the tree, and mirrors for lakes...

Beautiful shot!!......great colors and detail.

Beautiful ornament, stunning photo. Our cats are way too "interested" in Xmas decorations so we usually end up not putting them up. I live vicariously through everyone else's pictures ;)
CJ Burianek15-Dec-2005 02:35
Beautiful love all the reflections from the colored lights.
Hoping to get our tree this weekend...
Cindy Flood15-Dec-2005 02:32
This is gorgeous. You are the macro Queen for sure.
Guest 15-Dec-2005 02:21
Mindy, your holiday images are amazing. You should put them on greeting cards (that's SUPPOSED to be a compliment :) )
Guest 15-Dec-2005 01:59
Nice shot. Love the lighting and depth-of-field.
Guest 15-Dec-2005 01:55
very nice image, Mindy
older ornaments are the best
Easy on that foot!
SRW15-Dec-2005 01:53
Great capture! (Your foot may be hurting, but your talent ain't suffering!) And it's got red hair, like you!!!
