Merry Christmas or whatever your holiday celebrations maybe (note, I m being very PC) an for goodness sakes stay safe.
And the same to you, FL, Thank you!
Your PCness has been duly noted (I’m not terribly PC but I’ve been working on it for anyone I might offend with my typical random crudeness).
🙂
I’m usually never PC but people get real thingy around (and I will whisper this) Christmas time 🙄
Hahaha…
I won’t confirm this, F.L.
(but I won’t deny it, either)!
🙂
Congratulations!!! 😀 You have just received a Versatile Blogger Award!!

Oh my!
Thank you so much!
You are far too generous – I appreciate your kindness very, very much!
🙂
I love it! Especially the light shining through
I’m so happy to hear that, N.M…
thank you (believe it or not, I spent an embarrassing amount of time trying to arrange / get those lights to work out okay…)!
🙂
Lovely, SIG. All warm and cheerful. Happy Christmas, dude.
Why thank you, S.E.!
And the same to you, of course, dudette!
🙂
Beautiful! Poinsettia is also popular in our country. Many people buy them and put in their garden.
Thank you, sir!
That is very interesting! Poinsettia is very popular here, too (especially around ‘the holidays’… you start to see them in many different kinds of stores. This one came from a supermarket / grocery store near our apartment).
🙂
Love, love, lovely, SIG! Happy holidays to you and Annabelle.
I think you, Ms. D!
AND the happiest of holidays to you and your family as well!
🙂
With the light in the background, shining through so beautifully, I can see the veins in the poinsettia…Beautiful Shot.
Bob, I hope you and Annabelle have a most wonderful holiday, with memories to last you a lifetime.
Blessings,
Deb xx
With the high and low light and extreme saturation this was a bit of a challenge, but a lot of fun, too!
Thank you so very much, Ms. A! You are always so kind! We would like to wish you and your family the happiest of holidays as well!
🙂
Beautiful!
Our favorite Farmer’s Market vendor gave us a white poinsettia last week as a “thank you” . . . it’s gorgeous sitting on our counter. 😀
Thank you so much!
This little one was on sale at our local grocery store. I just hope I can keep it looking nice for a while – unfortunately my thumbs aren’t the greenest!
🙂
Have an awesome Holiday Season. Where’s all our snow, man?
I thank you, sir! And the same to you, of course!
Hahaha… I don’t know! But as long as it’s not on my shovel I guess I’ll try to keep from complaining (too much, anyway)!
🙂
This made me smile, thank you! Happy christmas to you too my friend!!!! 😀
That is wonderful to hear!
And a very, very happy Christmas to you and your family as well!
🙂
Stunning!!
Merry Christmas, Inky & Annabelle!
We thank you!
And we are wishing you and your family a very merry Christmas as well, Dishy!
🙂
WOW. SIG you’ve outdone yourself (again) with this wondrous photo. From the holiday light through the leaves, to the actually complex colors make me smile, and feel a tenderness.]
A cure for my bah humbug current feelings.
Just lovely. thank you for sharing this.
Hahaha… I thought I was the only scrooge around here, Ms. B!
Thank you so much for your wonderful comment!
And I’ll be wishing you a continued ease of humbug as well!
🙂
Stunning. I’m so no good at keeping plants alive. This is so, so beautiful.
Unfortunately I’m not the best gardener, either. I’m hoping I can keep this little plant going, but I took the photo right away (so as not to press my luck)! Thank you so much for your kindness!
🙂
Will this plant help me to plant one on my wife? 🙂
Or was that some other Christmas plant. Hmm…
Mel you’re killing me. Luckily not via eating the poinsettia…
It might taste like chicken (or not), but it’ll have its revenge on you for finding out!
🙂
Ha! I guess it’s worth hanging one on the ceiling to find out (I think that’s the important part of that whole deal, anyway)!
🙂
Gorgeous, SIG. The way the lights in the background shine through the leaves creating such a warm red. Best poinsetta I’ve seen all season 🙂
Happy holidays to Inky and Annabelle. Joy, Joy, Joy!
You are too kind, S.F…
that is absolutely wonderful to hear!
The happiest of holidays to you and your family as well!!!
🙂
Happy Holidays everyone! And happy Winter Solstice today (a.k.a. Yule)! After this, the days will start to get a little brighter each day again! (At least for those of us in the northern hemisphere…) Personally I can’t wait to start seeing more of the sun again! Yay!!!
What is this sun you speak of, Annabelle?!
🙂
Also, pretty poinsettia! 🙂 Very festive!
Thank you very much, Annabelle!
It was kind of spur of the moment, but I think it turned out okay…
🙂
Yes, a very nice holiday image. And the proper colors, too, red & green.
Merry Christmas you guys, and have a great new year!
Thank you very much, sir! I thought it seemed appropriate-ish!
You are so kind – we hope that you and your family had a wonderful Christmas as well (and the happiest of new years, too)!
🙂
Nice 🙂 Merry Christmas!!
Why, thank you, Eden!
A very merry Christmas to you as well!
🙂
May You and Annabelle have a merry and a jolly. Lovely image and colours.
And you and your family, too, sir! We thank you!
🙂
Merry Christmas!! I hope the fat elf brings you something great!!
Hahaha… I’m hoping I don’t have to break out the elf poking stick… again.
Merry Christmas to you, too, Mr. B… thank you!
🙂
Merry Christmas SIG
I hope you will be getting plenty 🙂
Hey… I meant Pressies of course…
Be Merry, Be Jolly and…
Behave Yourself SIG 🙂
Androgoth

Merry Christmas, SIG, to you and your wife. 🙂
Thank you very, very much, Ms. F!
Happy holidays to you and your family as well!

Gorgeous composition and light.

And the same to you and your family!
🙂
bellissima!
Grazie!
🙂
Beautiful shot of the poinsettia, and the light is perfect. But DON”T KILL IT. 😉 Merry Christmas (assuming with the poinsettia and all)! 🙂
Thank you so much!
Hahaha… I’ll be keeping my non-green fingers crossed!

Great Entry my Friend a Masterpiece again
Happy Christmas To you and your family as well 🙂

I hope that you and your family had a wonderful Christmas and I’ll be wishing you the happiest of New Years as well, Jake!
🙂
This gets me in the holiday mood! It’s right up there with my favorite images you’ve ever done. Merry Christmas, SIG!
I’m very happy to hear that (I was trying to make up for some of my bah humbug, you know)!
Merry Christmas to you, too!
🙂
what a cool composition. hope you had a good Christmas (i tend not to be very PC, however am not offended if someone says happy holidays). and all the best to you for the new year. looking forward to many more not-so-much-kitschy-but-more-like-awesome-and-inspiriing-despite-your-moniker (not sure if that counts as a valid adjective) coming up. but no pressure!
here’s to happy blogging 2012!
oops, pardon the typo on inspiring! 🙂
I honestly didn’t even notice (I didn’t get many gold stars for my spelling)!
🙂
Thank you so much, P&K – you are far too kind!
I hope that you and your family had a wonderful Christmas as well!
(I’m not very PC, either, but… I’m working on it. A bit. Maybe.)
🙂
Beautiful 🙂
Why thank you very, very much, Ms. B!
🙂
Beautiful colours. You can never have too many plants. I’m slowly catching up on my blog reading. The problem is that bogs update quicker than I can get through them all & once I get waaaay behind I look at my RSS reader & it’s hard to remember which ones I haven’t visited in a while. I use RSS Owl & I found a feature yesterday that sorts them into from recent visited to the oldest posts. This is helping me get more organised in not missing people’s blogs for too long.
Thank you very much, Mr. M!
No worries… I completely understand (happens to me all the time)! I’m just thrilled that you stop by when you get a chance, sir – I thank you for that!
🙂
splendid!
That is very kind of you, Ms. S…
thank you!
🙂
Beautiful! I hope you and Annabelle had a wonderful Christmas!
Thank you very much, Nancy!
We hope that your family had a wonderful Christmas, too!
🙂
Lovely flower.
I’m so happy to hear you liked this!
Thank you!
🙂
I hope you and Annabelle had a wonderful Christmas!! Just in case I get sidetracked again… I wish you both a very HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! By the way- the most spectacular Pointsettia I have seen!!!
Thank you so much, Juana! I hope that you and your family had a great, Christmas, too!
AND all the best in 2012 (and far beyond)!
You are always so kind – thank you again!
🙂
You know what’s surprising? We’ve yet to invent a plant that waters us.
Or maybe that’s not so surprising.
I get those two confused sometimes.
Hahaha… now that would be a find!
A plant that could make sandwiches would be pretty cool, too.
Either way.
🙂
I like to grow them from bulbs……..they grow through so many changeshttp://wp.me/p1B5ek-mr
You sound very talented – I sure wish my thumb was that green!
I’ll be happy if I can keep the store grown one going!
Thanks so much for stopping by
🙂
