Holly and pinecones...

(edited with Kim Klassen's elevate texture, lighten, 30% opacity)

Living in the Pacific Northwest, it's easy to find holiday decor right outside.

Fragrant cedar, fir and pine boughs can be foraged from our abundant evergreen trees

 as well as pine and fir cones.

Holly is relatively easy to find as well.

As red as any blood

And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ

To do poor sinners good"~

I couldn't resist a little still life photo fun with some holiday decor from nature,

with a bit of lovely Christmas light bokeh thrown in for good measure.
