Through Time & Space

Father Christmas

Through time and space, he'll travel,
every Christmas Eve,
sleigh-reins in his warm-gloved hand
and magic up his sleeve.

Down chimneys he will struggle
and claim mince pies and sherry,
and carrots for his reindeer -
no wonder he's so merry!

When all is done, he'll disappear
through some ethereal hole
in time and space beyond our world,
but labelled The North Pole.

The image is my entry for Abstract Thursday with a 'dots' theme. It began as several photos of fibre optic colour-changing strands. Then I faffed with arty effects, using, first, Photoshop, then U-Lead. I did think of calling it The Big Bang. It looks a bit like a star - or something - exploding. Anyway, it was fun playing while I stopped for a coffee. And it inspired a new, seasonal ditty. Thanks to Ingeborg for hosting AA77.

Miserable day again - wet and grey. But I've done the ironing while catching up on some old recorded TV progs. Yup - it's all multi-tasking today! Hope you're having a good day whatever you're up to.
