O Christmas Tree

This afternoon we will be removing all semblance of the holidays from our humble abode, including the evergreen that's begun shedding needles if you even look it's way. I LOVE live Christmas trees, but you'll hear me grumbling in June when I'm still vacuuming up needles that have been hiding somewhere in the house.

Last night I took the opportunity to photograph this year's tree. I used available light (no flash) and camera settings that would give the "star" effect on the lights. The picture's not lopsided...the house is, hehe.

Goodbye tree!
