Holiday Photo
I decided (retroactively) on the day I wasn't doing codas, I'd share a particularly nice holiday photo -- just to keep that festive feeling going all month long.

These are all licensed through Shutterstock. This particular offering is from Bruce Yeung. It's a particularly formal and rather intimidating Christmas dinner set up. I wonder how many of my characters would feel at home here and how many would feel at a complete loss.

How come I missed this one? Such a nice idea to share a holiday photo that you like and that inspires you. A lovely thing to do, Josh. Thank you. And I bet it's fun and relaxing for you too to browse through all those pictures on Shutterstock. :)
ReplyDeleteThis particular one has a heart-warming atmosphere — a little posh also. ;) I don't know, but to me it looks a lot like something that Lisa might have organized for the Christmas get-together — and plenty of seats for everyone in her family, too...
Yes. I think this one screams LISA. ;-D
DeleteI love the combination of candlelight and sparkling glass.
