Light up the night

Tunnel visions
One of the best things about having grandkids, is that it gives you an exuse to do all the things you ever wanted to do. Take Santa's Village for instance. We were in College Station, Texas visiting for the holidays and we all piled into the car for the ride through the lights -- daughter Vicky, son-in-law Aaron, grandchildren Sullivan and Sophie, and Linda and I. This is the scene through one of light tunnels. Real eye candy throughout. Unfortunately, the cold blistering wind, kept us in the car and did allow the chance to wonder through the village on foot. Oh, well, there is always next year.

Lagniappe ( a little something extra )

There's the birdwatchers up on the pier with their cameras and binoculars. But if you look close, you might find another kind -- this rookery is right off the I-10 just outside of Houston. Today in Pixel Eyed.
