Holiday Lights in St Marys County

I decided to wander around to some housing developments to photograph holiday lights.  It was fun to see how creative folks get and how they share their fun with the neighbors.  These are not areas I often photograph.  I am purposely leaving out locations for privacy purposes.  
Although I did find a fun Holly Jolly Light trail contest with houses you can drive by or watch on video.  The Southern Maryland’s Holly Jolly Light trail is listed on Facebook.  There is a map to locations in several counties.  We visited a few and some were regular lights and others were over the top.  Somdxmaslights.com takes you to the website with the maps.

Here are some colorful scenes I found.

Rehoboth Beach and the Boardwalk Plaza Hotel Dec 26-28, 2019

 Jim took me for a romantic trip to a surprise place right after the holiday, the Boardwalk Plaza in Rehoboth Beach, DE.  Beautiful place and the weather was pleasant too.  I would recommend visiting only during the off season.

The Lobby

 There were lots of little Christmas village decorations embedded in a "tree".
