Default Merry Christmas from a New Member

Hi,

Just like to wish everybody a Merry Christmas & Happy New Year.

(1) In a "Victorian" shopping centre in the city (Sydney, Australia)
This is the top of the three story tree.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

and

(2) Christmas Bells, an Australian native that only flowers in December & January. Seen in suburban bushland.

Flowers in the wild: Christmas bells

Thanks for looking.
Richard

welcome to DPS and have a wonderful Christmas. I am not sure if we have the Christmas Bell over my part of the world - I certainly have not seen it. TFS

WELCOME to DPS!
What a couple of stunning shots...the first is beautiful, but the second is really stunning...color, composition, focus. Great work.
Have a Very Merry Christmas too.
