Teddy & Christmas lights

At home

Harry kindly put up some Christmas lights for us as a lovely surprise while we were away at Thanksgiving.
Since that time, I have wanted to take a photo of them with snow in the foreground, but have not
managed it until now, just as it is time to take down the lights!
I used a long exposure of 1.6 seconds, plus a burst of flash to illuminate Teddy.
I tried a number of shots but was getting very cold, so fortunately at last he managed to sit
fairly still for this shot.
Snow was falling, and it appears that Teddy is about to be hit by a meteorite!
