Thank you so much!. Longwood is a special place!

Thank you.

Laurie: I appreciate your reply. It keeps me going. Looking forward to an even better year!

Thank you. This video was one that I didn't think would matter but it has. All the best for 2023!!

Thank you for finding it. I try to bring a few minutes of calm to this wonderful yet hectic season.

Thanks for following my videos. I use two small cameras: the latest models of the Canon G7X and Canon M50. The G7X fits in my pocket, has a nice zoom range and excellent low light range. The M50 is a small, mirrorless DSLR that takes both new, smaller lenses made for it as well as all of my older Canon lenses by using an adapter collar. The M50 was on a 3D gimbal for video but found it easier to just put it on a monopod. Two cameras are nice when you come in from the cold and have to deal with greenhouse humidity fogging everything up. I keep the G7X in an inside pocket that stays warm and will not fog up. I heard Carol of the Bells by Libera a year ago but spent about 6 months trying to find the track name. You may enjoy the My December music in my Retrospectives video as well, which also inspired the choice of images I used.

Thank you for watching.

Thank you. 2019 was a good year at Longwood… pre COVID so the school children made decorations were on display

Glad you enjoyed it and humbled that it’s still being viewed a year later.

I'm glad you enjoyed reliving fond memories. Thanks for taking the time to send a note.

I appreciate your note and will try hard to make next year just as meaningful.

The day was December 10, 2013. It had snowed most of the day and it was mostly powder. Longwood's extensive use of spotlights on trees played perfectly with snow covered branches. An unexpected delight was that LED Christmas lights don't melt snow covering them! Thanks for watching!

I appreciate your comments. We, too, have had many travel plans up-ended this year. I just posted a second Longwood Christmas video from many years ago when the gardens and lights were completely covered in snow.

Your 2013 snow video also brought back fond memories. 🎄💗🎄

i need some cherry up in my life because of some one in my family told lies on memad mereally sick

I appreciate your comment. I discovered Yiruma earlier this year and hoped to use his music for a New England foliage video. Travel restrictions prevented that trip but the music stayed with me. A River Flows In You gave me an chance to experiment with "non-Christmas" music for a holiday video.

Thank you for the kind words. I was fortunate enough to get to the gardens and into the conservatory just before it was closed in the latest round of COVID restrictions. Longwood, as always, did a wonderful job with it.

@@DEHistorian yes they did, every season the grounds and buildings are spectacular.

Thanks for watching. I've been doing these for friends and family since 2006. They started as DVDs but KZbin has allowed them to be enjoyed by a much wider audience.
