Trail of Lights 2018

Here's some shots from the Trail of Lights this year. I've blogged about the Trail several times over the years, because it's my favorite Christmas tradition in Austin. I really loved going this year because they added several new exhibits and it was my niece's first time going.

Trail of Lights (2016)

My absolute favorite holiday event in Austin is the Trail of Lights. I've been going since I was a kid and every year I love to blog my shots from the Trail. So here are some of the shots I got this year...

Happy holidays! - Jessica 

Trail of Lights 2015

Going to the Trail of Lights every year has been my favorite Christmas tradition since I was a child, and every year I love to share my experience on here. Texas has had an extremely warm winter this year, and going to the trail in just a long sleeve shirt was really weird because I'm so used to bundling up and carrying hot chocolate the whole way through. Even though the weather was really warm, it was so easy to get into the Christmas spirit with all of the lights and carols playing. This year there were several changes to the trail, that I think really enhanced this year's experience. Here are my favorite shots I took this year:

Happy Holidays

Happy Holidays! It's currently past midnight on Christmas day and even though I have to be up in a few short hours I wanted to share some photos I took this year at the Trail of Lights.

Trail of Lights

Last year I briefly blogged about the Trail of Lights, it's one of my favorite Christmas traditions. This year I went a little overboard with the bokeh photos, don't blame because the results are magical. During the trail, I alternated between singing Christmas songs and the Frozen soundtrack. I haven't been able to stop listening to the soundtrack (particularly "Do You Want to Build a Snowman"), which resulted in my sister buying a copy. Hopefully I can make another trip out before it closes on Sunday!(The text on the above photo was added in the app Over.)

Rock Island

My family and I went out to Zilker this past weekend with the intention of taking pictures. My little sister lost a Words With Friends game against my brother in law and in exchange he got to have a photoshoot with her. Unfortunately we didn't think about Texas heat and instead just hanged out at Rock Island.

I can't wait until the weather goes down so that I can actually go outside and take pictures without baking, but that won't be for a while. Sigh. - Jessica
