A crescent moon appears above decorated palm trees in Viera, just as the sun sets Tuesday.
Focusing on the colorful background Tuesday.
A moon thinly veiled by clouds Tuesday evening.
The stand of palms at sunset Monday, just to give you a little context.
Note: Because I was raised in New England, Christmas is different in Florida, but it's still Christmas nonetheless. And I need to convince myself of that. So, in the next 20 days, including the holiday itself, I intend to find Christmas here in Brevard County and portray it through a different photo each day.
I never ceased to be amused - and sometimes, amazed - when I see palm trees decorated with Christmas lights. Such a sight truly is the quintessence of Christmas in Florida. The trunk is most often the thing that is decked out, while the canopy itself creates a bit of a challenge for people stringing up the lights: You can't just throw them on like you can do with most evergreen trees that grow up north.
In this edition, I focus on the trees at, once again, The Avenue Viera, an outdoor shopping mall full of similar cheesy sights throughout the year.
