Greenery


Fifth Avenue this morning in search of Christmas presents.


A bewildering choice of possibilities  -- so I probably got the wrong thing.......
so 


I went to look at the natural stuff in Union Square. Here a suitably skinny tree, which, to my mind, shows off the  ornaments better. Others may disagree, and even want an artificial one. Luckily, I am not the Christmas decorations police.....


A wreath is an excellent thing. Round and satisfactory


pine cones are good too though it seems rather odd to buy them.


more greenery


red berries


and roses too


silver balls in a store


and a glimpse of the Met Life Building from Broadway.


Flowers at home left over from a party


and the faithful hound who has escaped from his own blog.


Even though Reya may disapprove I do love my  Hipstermatic  app.

    Wonderful evocative of Christmas! I love this post.

    I was looking at your bookshelf in the post below...the only of those books I've read is Crossing to Safety. Raine Maria Rilke I have seen quoted in other things...you have an interesting collection. I notice the Arabic grammar too...I've got something similar for Hebrew.

    Oh I love these photos. It's a good thing I'm not the Christmas decorating police, too. I think I should advertise fresh wreaths in NY...I've made and sold large ones for $15 and $20 for jumbos.
