Foggy River Walk

This song sparrow was scratching in the leaves and debris. A Northern flicker picking bugs out of a fallen tree.

Common mergansers in the river.

Festival of Trees 2010

Mr. Potato Head was featured in a couple of trees this year - trees also stuffed with toys.
Obviously, this is not a tree, but festive entries of all kinds are accepted and auctioned off to raise money for St. Alphonsus hospital charitable causes. This is a cello painted pink and decked out as a fairy. Her bra is stuffed with pink marshmallows!

A darling miniature vignette inside a lantern.

Orange and blue in a salute to our Boise State University Broncos in this table-top display.

Wreaths are also decorated and donated to be sold.

Most of the trees are also decorated with surprises under them.

This was entered in the wreaths category. Looks like it took a lot of work to create.

Cute details from the top of a tree.

More BSU Bronco blue.

Sock monkeys were found on several trees.

A Christmas dollhouse.

Rock-roll and pirates. ARGH.

Boise Summer Games

Above and below are the Blue Knights from Denver.

Vanguard Cadets in practice before the show.

They really did "fall out" of line for some wow factor. These are the Casper Troopers.

The Tree

Welcome to my virtual holiday open house! Here's my theory about decorating the tree: there's always room for one more ornament!

Butterflies, snowmen, chickens.
Lots of angels big and small.

Wind chimes and roosters.

You say you want a hippopotamus for Christmas? I've got one here on the tree!

Always a star at the top, and at least one bird somewhere on the tree. Merry Christmas to you!
