Tree pictures

Posted on | December 24, 2005 |

Another 7 hour car trip to New Jersey survived. Forty degree weather, and scads of starlings whirling through the air like synchronized swimmers. Sun over brown fields of cut corn stalks or new subdivisions. Traffic thicker than a swarm of bees. We are here, with family. Bean’s doting grandma has already snuck him at least half of his presents. DH and I got to sleep in until ten. And yesterday we picked out a tall tree, haggled for the price and hauled it home on the roof of our car. As usual, I brought my camera. Happy Christmas Eve!


Flocks of wild birds.


Empty greenhouse.


The xmas tree bailer.


Paulo loads the tree onto the car.


At home Zeus brings me a stick.

    Oh I got goosebumps! You capture it all in words AND image— it comes through so fresh and clear. I got out tree this afternoon, too– but lo, did not bring my camera with me. That’ s a pity– when will I learn?

    Meanwhile HUGE happy wishes for a wonderful Christmas to you and your beautiful family and here’s to much magic (and road trips wink wink nudge nudge) in the new year!
