Our second theme for the month of December in Leanne Cole’s MM2 is Santa or Elves. I chose an image of my earliest Hallmark Train & Santa ornament for this week’s theme.
I met some photographers last night in the City (San Francisco) to photograph the Christmas Lights in Embarcadero Center. The Star of the show is the white light on the TransAmerica Pyramid Building and it’s blue reflection for me.
Traffic was absolutely horrible getting into the city yesterday. What should have taken just under an hour took 2 hours! It was worth the drive though. It wasn’t too cold, and the lights are gorgeous.
On another note. I have not been successful with Adobe reactivating or fixing my CS6 photo editing software so, I bit the bullet today and subscribed to the CC Photography package. I have Bridge CC, Lightroom 2015 CC, and Photoshop CC 2015 all installed, and working. Now I’m trying to figure out how to get my plug-ins, presets, and actions installed into PSCC, and LRCC. I’ve got two actions installed. There’s hope I’ll figure it all out! 🙂

The front landscaping was finished today! It took a bit longer than we thought because we had rain, then we had to wait for the fountain and trellis. We’re just waiting for the light transformer to come in then we’ll be adding some lights to the small half round planter boxes up near the house to highlight the fountain, and trellis.
After
I had carpet roses put in the two big spaces lining the walkway, and there are azaleas in the two half rounds with the trellis, and fountain. I’m going to plant sweat pea to grow up the trellis, and in the little space between the lawn and upper courtyard area I’m planting bulbs of Daffodils, or Tulips. I’ll decide when I go to the garden center.
Next Spring I’ll have a little Bistro table in the courtyard up by the door.
I LOVE the fountain! It sounds lovely.
It’s probably hard to tell in these images, but we added just under 500 sq. ft to the house. It feels HUGE now.

OT- My CS6 was somehow turned into PSCS6 Extended Trial, and I’ve been trying to get Adobe to reactivate my CS6 without success so far. I’m waiting for a Senior Technician to call me back since the lower levels of technical help couldn’t fix the problem. It’s been very stressful trying to learn a new workflow in the meantime.
