A neighbor down the street put his old, white "Christmas tree" to the curb for the garbage truck yesterday. I picked it up to recycle as a winter perch by the brush piles in my yard where I photograph birds. I dressed it up with a highbush cranberry branch.

May your new tree collect plenty of nature's gifts.

A long passed friend had a box outside his window to feed the birds but if one moved inside they would all scatter. He carved and painted a couple English sparrows and placed them inside that window. After that as long as you didn't make a fast or noisy event the feeding birds usually didn't fly off.


Some individuals use statistics as a drunk man uses lamp-posts — for support rather than for illumination.

Just bought a small, plain 7 foot fake green tree to compliment the taller white one on my brush stage. Will fold down the branches and get it set up shortly. Will post photos later with it in the snow. This is it for now. grin
