I love Mistletoe. I love the shape of the leaves, the shiny white berries, it’s abundance way up in the trees around here all year long and yet only for a few weeks in December can you buy it.
\nAlong with the holly and the Christmas tree, the evergreen mistletoe is symbolic of the eventual rebirth of vegetation that will occur in spring…or sooner if last year is anything to go by.
\nI was lucky enough to get hold of a beautiful branch of it this year which I kept on the table outside my door so that it would stay fresh for longer. <\/p>\n

I made an abstract to hang on the wall at Bonnies gallery<\/a> for the first Photo Art Friday of the New Year<\/p>\n

\"Abstract<\/a><\/p>\n

I put a few small twigs of it in the wreath at my back door, this morning when I saw Lotta she was thrilled to tell me that for the first time in her life (24 years) she received a ‘kiss under the mistletoe’. How beautiful is that?<\/p>\n

Bonnie at Pixel Dust Photos gave us a new texture she calls Old Tablecloth.<\/p>\n

Thank you for the beautiful texture Bonnie. I went back and had another play. I couldn’t resist the idea of throwing an ‘Old Tablecloth’ over an OK photo and instantly turning it into something special.<\/p>\n

I like the way this looks a bit like a tapestry.<\/p>\n
