Hello David Walker, when the snow falls coating the trees , they are decorated for Christmas. Enjoy your day my friend.

Hello David Walker, the trees look so beautiful with the snow covered on the trees. Even better on the Spruce and Evergreen trees. Cheers! Darlene.

You've captured the essence of winter perfectly. David, I can't realize how fast we are to the end of the year. Several of the homes in my neighborhood have their Christmas lights up early.

Thank you Lasaad, I was just saying that to Tom, seems very strange to start lighting up for Christmas so early, nature seemed to time it just right in the past, now it's hit and miss with global warming, cheers David
