I know because my cousin V. and I took Aunt E. and Mama to Shore Acres to look at the lights. I took my camera, of course.

Shore Acres
The "house" in the middle of the gardens is decorated for Christmas.

Reflections
The lights reflected in the water to great effect.

More reflections of lights, this time with cranes.

Pavilion
There were carolers in the pavilion, singing away.

Night Blooms
A closeup of some of the lights. They made an effort to suit the lights to the plants, which I enjoyed very much.

An Octopuss's Garden

Lit From Below
Some of the trees are lit from below as well, making a lot of interesting plays of light and shadow.

Light and Shadow
More plays of light and shadow in the trees.
I was really glad that we got to take Mama and Aunt E. out to see the lights. Both of them let us get them wheelchairs so they'd be able to see all the lights, and it was fun (including that short race!). Hot cider warmed us all up after seeing all the lights, and a good time was had by all.
Do I really have to go home when I'm already home?
