Every time I do a project my Apple Watch keeps asking me if I have fallen. I guess it is not use to me actually doing something!

That time is already here for me and I hate it. Having a bad back and a wanky knee makes me stay off even small step ladders. The biggest reason I'm iffy on putting up a Christmas tree is that I'll have to have help putting it up and taking it down. I utterly despise being dependent on ANYONE and slowly I've stopped doing things that I cannot do on my own. I love independence but unfortunately I'm not so independent any longer. Most of the time I wear a smart watch that will notify my daughter if I fall or have a medical emergency. Some days I rebel and don't wear the watch Life without risks is not fun.

A friend and I went to one of the smaller mansions in Bristol, RI, today, not far from the fancier digs in Newport RI. The mansion is decorated for the holiday. So I saw Christmas lights, and lots of trees. They even decorate the bathroom....Overall it's very well done.
I am not anywhere near proficient with indoor photography, but hey, I'll try. I brought my two camera bodies, an 18-200 lens and a 10-22 lens. Neither the cameras or the lenses are all that good in low light. So I took pics with flash, pics without, and can't say I had a whole lot of keepers. The light in the rooms is rather dim. Some rooms have lots of wood, so not bright enough. Yet many of the photos I took using the flash had ZERO merit. My friend posted one photo she took with her cell phone on FB. It was way better than anything I took. This photography hobby can be frustrating. I guess I'm just better off outside with my birds. But hey, we had a good day and a good lunch.
Here are a couple photos that I thought look OK in B&W. One of the residents of the home was quite an artist. I liked the art work at the base of the tree.

Cool pics.
My wife and I have always talked about going to visit the Biltmore Estate for Christmas , we've seen pictures of it and it looks really nice. We have visited the estate in summer months, but Christmas would be cool.

They aren't as elaborate, but several of the mansions in Newport, RI are decked out for the holidays. A shorter trip!
