Birds of the tree (Macro Monday)

I love to add new ornaments to the Christmas tree each year and last year I added a few birds. This little bird clips onto the branch.

This year I added this flamingo, just because I thought he was zany!

They look pretty happy on the tree, no?

  1. Lisa, the birds are exquisite (so are your photos). I seem to remember having bird shaped all glass ornaments on our tree when I was a kid. I think they were clear glass and filled with a colored liquid. But that was so many years ago now. Who could remember. I remember the Christmas magic though.

  5. I'm just as happy to be skipping the decorating bit this year. There's nobody coming to my house anyway. Which is good, 'cause it's in a shambles from the recent painting escapade. But the flamingo adds a nice touch of whimsy. Might as well have some fun with it, yeah?

  19. Love the flamingo! He's different, and would fit in well here in Florida. Snow-theme decorations just look ridiculous down here! Would you believe some folks put fake snowmen on their lawns here? LOL

  21. LOVE those ornaments. They are so pretty. I really like how they reflect and shine with the lights.

  22. I love the expression on the flamingo's face! But why do you say he's zany? Why is a flamingo made of a puff of feathers any more zany than the other bird who is made of sequins? LOL!

    Both are pretty zany if you ask me! But they're fun! :D
