How pretty! I remember the first year that "Tropical Park" in Miami was all decked out in lights for the Holidays...there is something about them that seems so magical!

It was a magical evening, there is something about the night and the music and the lights that touches us all.
Sonia M. Jan 3, 2013, 2:45pm UTC
Yes, the whole mood is magical...

Oh my goodness Rose. This is incredible beauty. I need to come witness this in person.
