Time to share another collection of images I took when Teresa, Carla, and I went to Pella, Oskaloosa, and then Pella again in early December. These pictures are of some of the Christmas decorations Pella had in their town square.

I still need to share the pictures from Oskaloosa on this trip. Hopefully soon.

This is your reminder that this week’s THE WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE theme is PLAY:
![WEEK 387 - PLAY](https://photos.smugmug.com/WEEKLY-PHOTO-CHALLENGES/WEEKLY-PHOTO-CHALLENGE-YEAR-10/i-7WvK9Jf/1/5fe10d2b/X2/387_AA_PLAY-X2.jpg)
PLAY
PLAY! What a great theme for Year 10 of THE WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE!
But what is a PLAY image? It is simply a picture of something that is PLAYed with or somebody at PLAY. There are all sort of different things that can be PLAYed. A sport. A game. A musical instrument. A human being. Or even a PLAY is PLAYed. Remember, what some might consider WORK others consider PLAY.
Happy photo harvesting!
