What did you get up to today?

This has been the most decorated house in town for years.

Wow Shen, that would be hard to beat.

Phil,

That looks beautiful. I am envious of you living so close to the lakefront.

[Mhayes]

Wow, Schen & Phil, both beautiful! I can't help but wonder what the electric bill is for all those lights.

The LED lights help conserve electricity. I bought a string of 800 LED bulbs that only uses 6W of power. The old incandescent lights I replaced used about 24W per 100 bulbs!

The hottest Christmas Decoration this year. I found myself surrounded by people with a fraction of my age 🤭

Love all the pics. Here's some from the last couple days at the pond. These quackers are so fun to watch. What personalities they have. :)

Great photos!

I recently visited a statue by Lorado Taft on the bluff over the Rock River in Illinois. Taft was a native of Illinois. He founded an art colony where this statue stands today. He named the statue "The Eternal Indian" but it is often referred to as the Black Hawk Statue. The concrete started deteriorating after more than 100 years and was restored a couple of years ago.

That's Interesting Schen.  Thanks.

Here is a link to a video I made.  I have no idea whether this will show up here.  Oh well.

Too low terrain, too low terrain!
