Finnegan's Fine Firs(our local Christmas Tree Farm) this year was inundated with snow, so they were providing not only the saws, but brooms to whisk away the extra white stuff so you'd get an idea of what you might be cutting down...the scenery was free, as was the twine and the help loading it on the car. *grumbles* used to be hot cider, but I guess that's for the weekend crowd :)

Wow..what a great Christmas picture. I love that bridge with the red boxes. The snow is beautiful and looks untouched. I'll be right over to get my seven foot Scotch Pine. Very nice, PJ.

Yes, I guess PJ was the first on the scene. That's the only way to get a good capture such as this one. Excellent shot PJ.

It's got to be harder to make a selection when they are covered in snow. We still have to get ours. The shot is very clear.

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being. - Hermes

Hi Pat
A fine christ mass image that I'm sure will be popular the snow looks great. However this agnostic gets increasingly tired of this seasonal homage to consumer holics. Instead I shall think of u this new years eve which we will toast with a fine scotch. :o)

Not sure about hot cider before driving PJ....but it doesn't get much more Christmas than this. How did you choose? I'd be there all day 'That one looks good - oh no, the branches on that one are better....'
