Song-ography, the "Silver Bells" edition...

(all photos taken on Elfreth's Alley in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania)


"City sidewalks busy sidewalks,
dressed in holiday style.
In the air there's the feeling of Christmas...


"Dressed in Holiday Style"
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

















...and on every street corner you'll hear,
Silver bells, silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city.
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring
soon it will be Christmas Day."

-Silver Bells



"And on Every Street Corner You'll Hear"
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania



Welcome back to another Song-ography Sunday.  Xmas -3 days!  Hopefully there is plenty of holiday style surrounding you and your cameras.  Can't wait to see what YOU see thru your lenses, and how you've interpreted this week's Song-ography challenge.  I want to wish a very merry and joyous Christmas to all of those who celebrate, and a happy holiday season to everyone.  Next week's Song-ography song is...


Home for the Holidays
(I'd PAY to be a part of this video...if only I could wear my own dress!)


Next week's Song-ography will be posted earlier in the day on Saturday, as Saturday night I will be noshing on peanuts and trying to grab a few winks as I cross the pond to jolly old London (any potential robbers reading this...warning: the house WILL be occupied with people and DOGS, but if you want to grab the broken HUGE flat screen tv in our garage...I'll leave the door open).  Therefore, I will be a bit tardy in visiting all your blogs.  But I hope youse guys all carry on in my absence.  As always, thank you sooooooo much for joining in on Song-ography.  It is ALWAYS a treat seeing your creative talents at work!  Merry Christmas!





P.S.  You can now find me on Facebook. Please hop on over to You'll Shoot Your Eye Out and give me a "like".

    For some reason I thought it was JOY TO THE WORLD - Um... NOT! It's SILVER BELLS! Crap... Sorry, Kath! LOL! I should've checked first! I could have sworn it was Silver Bells... :\

  2. I really am rusty on Christmas Carols if I get Silver Bells confused with Joy To The World... [Rolling my eyes...] he he he ...

  3. Beautiful shots Kathy! It is so interesting how different various parts of the country look at the holidays. I went out on friday over to Fort worth to get some holiday shots at the stockyards and alas, although I had my camera, and 3 lens, when I took the first shot, realized... oooppps, the memory card was at home in the computer. No prob, will use my IPHONE, but guess what ... dead battery. Toook a few with my husbands phone but UGH...... Maybe will try again tomorrow. Meanwhile. love your shots. Once again, have a wonderful family holiday.... one to remember!

  4. Such a festive post. I'm loving the warm glow in these photos, especially the 4th, 5th and last photos. - Wow, London for Christmas...I wish you an awesome time but I'm happy to be staying "HOME" for the holidays. Merry Christmas to you & your family. I've so enjoyed being a participant in this awesome meme this year and look forward to next years songs.

  9. This Christmas season has been full of surprises so far, like a flash mob of Carolers in the supermarket while I was there. What a treat. Everyone is safe and healthy. Can't ask for any more than that. Wishing you and yours a wonderful Christmas full of joy and laughter. Safe travels!

  11. Across the pond? You lucky girl! Travel safely-tell the pilot he's got precious cargo. My faves here are the carolers and that first shutter shot. For such a tiny little alley, you scored some great images. Happy Christmas my friend. I'll hope someone takes away that broken TV from your garage. They can come get my big behemoth too so I can feel OK about scooting over to Sam's Club and getting upgraded to the 21st c.

    1. Diane, I have been using Florabella's Colorplay actions for quite awhile now. Altho, I use them rather simplistically. I have seen some AMAZING end results people have attained by mixing and matching the actions.

  20. Whoop for trips to London. You are going to need warm clothes and a rain coat, although we went to the Tower of London yesterday as Michael had never been before and it was a beautiful day of clear blue skies and sunshine, today, not so much. Oh and we found a lovely restaurant just near by called Bodeans which did amazing ribs and I had the hot apple cider with spiced cinnamon whisky.

    If you want to hook up end me an email, we have a few kids free days, maybe we could grab lunch.
