Anne Elliott's photos with the keyword: Christmas tree

I came across this scan that I made ages ago and sent it to my daughters a few days ago. Last night, I decided that I would upload it to Flickr to give you all a little smile and chuckle. My eyes are blue, by the way, not rather green like they look in this very, very old photo : ) I was told many years later that I was very lucky to have a colour photo of myself, as colour photography was just becoming available when I was around three years old, and my father must have been one of the first to use it. I still remember all those decorations, though I haven't seen them for dozens of years. Happy Christmas, everyone!

A few of the decorations hanging on my little four-foot artificial tree. I have to admit that the decorations stay on it all year round and I just keep it in my basement.

Couldn't resist photographing the reflections in this silver bauble which was hanging on a tree at the Calgary Zoo today. Doesn't do too much for the ego - I know I was wearing my very thick, puffy winter jacket, but also the effect reminds me of the House of Mirrors!! LOL!

My little tree is covered in a whole mixture of decorations - my favorite ones being those from my kids (of course!). A little secret, though - these decorations have remained on the tree for about eight years now - I simply carry it down to my basement and cover it with a plastic bag till it needs carrying upstairs a year later!
