Holiday decorations~Ruby Tuesday 122209

When I was out and about town early Sunday morning, I came upon these Christmas decorations at a local restaurant which has outdoor seating. Here in the desert southwest, many of our restaurants have outdoor seating all year. In winter, they simply bring in portable heaters. In summer, they turn on the misters. We've had clouds for the past 3 days and it's cloudy again today, with winds in our local mountains. I was glad I got to try out the macro setting on my camera, which I haven't used until this past weekend. Ruby Tuesday for December 22, 2009.
