First of all, Amen to Peace on Earth. Let it begin with me. Please express to Paula how much I admire her tree. Partly, this is true because I also love this particular palette of colors. They are sort of Old Masters colors. Tell her she has an amazing eye for composition and texture. That is a beautiful tree! And you, Michael, did a great job with your photos. Those are postcard quality!

They are all beautiful, but I love the 2nd and 3rd ones. THey look like Christmas cards. The tones are lovely in all of them. I also like how the twinkly lights showed up in the windows in the first shot.
