  1. What a lovely tree. It reminds me of a German Feather tree.

  2. Is that YOUR tree?

    Are you going to put up a 'winter' poem by Emily Dickinson in the comments?

    Here's one I like:

    Winter
    by Emily Dickins

    I thought I saw a snowflake fall
    Down yonder by the mall

    My scarf doth look a tad worn
    I think I'll go buy some yarn.

  3. Sam,
    I agree! And feather trees were probably made with trees like the one in the picture in mind. They have fewer branches and farther apart, unlike any I ever saw on the American East Coast. Only once did we have a similar tree, a Douglas fir, in DC (balsam firs were my family's favorite).

    Carol,
    thank you so much, i shall take up your kind offer and put the poem in the comments box! Merci beaucoup (have been so busy lately, no time to think of beautiful details like this).
