This past Saturday we went to Coker Tree Farm and found ourselves a happy Christmas tree. Yay! We brought it home, and after a bit of struggle with the stand, we finally got it upright. The new stand we purchased is much deeper and more narrow than our old one, and for a change the cat can't get her head in it to drink all the water!
This is also the first year we've been able to put our tree in the front living room window so you can see it at night! The problem, we discovered, is that the light coming in through the window put the whole tree in shadow. You could see the shape of the tree, and the lights on the tree, but because most of our ornaments weren't shiny, you couldn't see anything else. So I toddled off to Walmart and bought some bling - pretty gold ornaments and garland to add some shine/reflection.
And.... voila!
(The philosopher was playing with different camera settings - can you tell? These pics were taken not two minutes apart....)
