Christmas in My Neighborhood #4


This is a simple holiday decoration in my favorite bakery/cafe, called Bread and Chocolate, located on Grand Avenue. For a summer photo of this same spot, click here.

Today in Minnesota History: 1892 J. Paul Getty is born in Minneapolis. An entrepreneur, he would become a billionaire in the oil business, and he would bequeath much of his fortune to the Getty Trust, a philanthropic organization that supports the visual arts. (Reference: MNHS:ORG)

    This is a really nice photo of a pretty spot. I like it when they build these nooks into a wall.

  9. I'm thinking now of chocolate croissants, one of my favorite breakfast treats and so easy to make if you can'at get to a bakery to buy. I think I'll put that on my Christmas morning menu.

    It's very pretty, this picture, Kate.

    I hope you are having a fine day. I'm glad to hear you are not stressing over Christmas.

  13. Oh, this is wonderful! And the comparison with the summer photo is fantastic : definitely shows that a photo shows as much or as little as you want it to! Great lesson.
