Christmas Lights that Pop

Have you noticed that fewer homes are decorated for Christmas? It took driving through several neighborhoods to get a few pictures. I guess it's not a big deal anymore. At one time seems like most home's had at least a couple of ornaments on the lawn or lights strung on the eaves celebrating Christmas. We were able to find several after traversing many streets. Hope they bring some cheer to you.

Spectacular Christmas Lights

The Amarante family begins stringing lights and assembling animations way back on labor day hoping to be ready to light up Winter Wonderland by thanksgiving eve. With great effort they manage to have the 185 thousand bulbs sparkling on time to greet the thousands of visitors who will walk the marvelous paths of the Wonderland that is open until New Years day. The Wonderland is located on route 101 in Killingly, Ct. Here's a few video clips for you to enjoy. check out my You Tube channel at John Holland@bluegrassers

Blueridge Parkway Visit

I love Bluegrass, stringband and old time mountain music So when I had the opportunity to spend a week in Southwesten Virginia and Western North Carolina I packed up and headed south. I used a book written by Joe Wilson titled "A Guide to the Crooked Road" to find places to hear the music I favor. The book points out dates, locations, and interesting information about jams, concerts and festivals along Virginia's Heritage Music Trail. I got to see and hear some great performances but I also took side trips to places of interest off the Blueridge Parkway. I've inserted some images here, hope you enjoy. Joe's book can be purchased on Amazon.
