Salem Ponds

The town next to ours is called Salem and there is a lovely little park there with giant ponds and bridges and in the summer there are many ducks to feed too. At Christmas time this park gets all decked out in lights and it’s so pretty. There is a road that goes all the way around the park, so you can drive and see all the lights.
We went there Sunday night to see the lights. It was so pretty. On some of the trees they have huge colored spotlights just shining up at the tree which results in the tree being all one color. (Usually green or purple). The bridge is all lit with bright white lights, its awesome. There’s a horse drawn carriage going around the park which adds to the festiveness of the place. But my favorite by far are the hundreds of trees that appear to be floating on the water. It looks so awesome, and all the lights reflect into the water. I love it. I attempted picture taking but being mobile in a car and it being dark outside, they didn’t come out clear, but I think they look incredibly cool nonetheless. See for yourself:

That is gorgeous! If it weren't so darn far away, I would possibly drive down there & see it.
