Wonderful capture of this beautiful tree, Terry! The person adds to the sense of perspective, but I also like the bit of movement. You have been very musical lately, Terry! Tis the season! #965930

Terry you have a beautiful voice, like a choir of angels, or a choir of Peanuts :-) lovely image, so many lights filling the sky this season- I wonder if the stars are jealous or finding respite from our gazing eyes this season? great work here! #965936

Glad to see you are still calling it a "Christmas" Tree - our national tree in Washington is being called the "People's" Tree. Makes it sound like Lenin is calling the shots... Lovely shot and I love the song... #965964
