“Pic of the Week”, December 25, 2015: Christmas at Disney Springs
Merry Christmas everyone! Today’s featured collection of pics looks at some of the seasonal decorations at Disney Springs (formerly Downtown Disney) in Walt Disney World, Orlando.
Visiting Disney theme parks is lots of fun but has gotten quite expensive, especially if you’re taking the family. But there’s a few places you can park your car for free and walk around without paying admission at the Disney Theme parks, and one of the best is Disney Springs. Here you can stroll up a street beautifully designed in the Disney manner, go window shopping, get a snack or a meal, catch a movie, go bowling, or perhaps see a concert or a Cirque Du So-lei performance. And during the holidays the park dresses …

“Pic of the Week”, December 25, 2014: Madonna and Child, Chartres Cathedral, France
Today’s highlighted photo(s) come from one of the finest Gothic cathedrals in Europe, Chartres, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Chartres was built in the 12th century and is unique because it was constructed and furnished in only 66 years, a remarkably short time in an era when it often took centuries to complete such massive projects. As such, the building has a harmony of architecture, stained glass and decor that represent the values of the time. It’s long been a site of Christian pilgrimage.
In the spirit of Christmas, today’s highlighted photos are scenes of the Madonna and child. Enjoy these historic artworks!

“Pic of the Week”. December 21, 2012. Holiday exhibit, Bellagio Conseratory, Las Vegas, Nevada.
One of my favorite stops in Las Vegas is the Bellagio resort. Not only is it an elegantly designed building, it features the world’s best water fountain show, a wonderful Chihuly constructed chandelier in the lobby, a great Sunday brunch, but especially a delightful Conservatory and botanical gardens. The Conservatory has exhibits that change every few months and I’m especially fond of their Fall (Halloween) and Winter (Christmas) themed displays. These exhibits are clever and beautifully executed. The hotel and it’s Conservatory was prominently featured in the popular Oceans 11 movie.
This photo shows a small part of the Christmas display. The two polar bears were both made of mostly …
