I’m pretty sure this image is going POTW as soon as I see it – the composition, lighting and colors are impeccable.
Happy!

Pour yourself some coffee or tea and enjoy our favorite holiday season shots!
The colors and ornaments in this shot speak loud and clear of the holiday season, and the hanging structure makes it quite eye-catching.

There’s nothing like snow to talk about on vacation!
