It's a Wrap!


It's Theme Day here at City Daily Photo. Yep, we are still participating in the larger worldwide group of bloggers posting a picture a day from their environs. The theme for December 1 is 'Gift.' Check out this lovely picture of gifts under a tree, done up expertly in a thematic fashion. Our tree? Nope. Every year about this time we walk around our downtown Austin home and take pictures of decorations in shops and hotels. The Four Seasons hotel tree had these gifts underneath. I'm quite sure they are empty, but there is nothing like a tree surrounded by beautiful packages to get folks excited about Christmas.It's our acquisitive nature I suppose. Click here to see what others in the Daily Photo family offer for the theme. A creche or two perhaps? Something or someone they consider a gift for themselves or their community? Someone receiving or giving a gift? Santa, maybe? It is always fun to see scores of interpretations.

  1. They certainly are beautifully wrapped "gifts," but also show that maybe you can't judge a gift by its wrappings.

  2. Yes, the possibilities are endless. Have a happy holiday and I hope that you receive many and varied gifts!

  3. I love photographing the windows of the local shops at Christmas time for the very reason you posted this. They always look so pretty and inviting.
