    Annual Wild Christmas Tree Hunting in France

    A few days ago, we went wild Christmas tree hunting.

    Our forests are dying of suffocation, here in Haute-Savoie, France. And to thin out the trees is a good, honest deed. The Tree Spirits are blessing us for it...


    So, here we go...





    Plenty of snow, this year.





    This is the first out of 3 that I found.





    Little shaking...





    So... this is what you look like !





    Winter wonderland.

















    So, here we are... Now I have to choose





    More to come...


    Best,

    Robert

    Those are really beautiful pictures. We wish for snow like that around our part of the world. Our temperatures are around the mid- to high 70's all week, with no end in sight.

    Oh well...at least we don't have to stay in the garage to BBQ a steak.

    Merry Christmas to all!
