Gorgeous Trees

Today, I'm sharing a few photos of some large and elaborately lit trees in two states.
The town of Parker, CO has many large trees decorated on Main Street, and on Christmas Eve, my brother-in-law pulled over so I could take some photos.
Several years ago, my family went to the Denver Zoo, and many of the trees were similarly lit. I can't imagine how long it takes to put the lights on the individual limbs. The decorated trees are simply gorgeous.

No matter what the reason or the season, I love to see beautiful trees decorated with lights.
They are indeed beautiful. Here people sometimes decorate cactus and they are interesting as well.
ReplyDeleteThese trees are spectacular! Wow! Christmas Day (evening) we went to Falls Park in Sioux Falls. They light up hundreds of trees plus the big waterfall every year. It was so pretty.
ReplyDeleteI love looking at trees in the winter. The shapes are fascinating.
ReplyDeleteOne local restaurant has their maple trees lit. One reminds me of broccoli. LOL (I can NEVER get a good photo of it though. Always too blurry.)
My favorite right now is a stand of birch trees against the brilliant blue winter sky. Simple awesome.
I am drawn to trees too. We don't have many here in the desert so those we DO have are treasured. The lit trees are beautiful! I never have seen anyone actually putting the lights up - it would be interesting to see how it's done. When I see homes elaborately decorated, I always wonder where they store it all.
ReplyDeleteThey are just gorgeous! They used to put them up down here like that but then they pruned the trees so severely that now they look like decorated stumps. It's just not the same.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! There is one fairly local restaurant that has a ton of trees lit up. They actually keep the lights up all year.
ReplyDeleteOh those are beautiful trees. Especially the last one. The blue one. I hate the reason for it, but the lights are gorgeous. I can only imagine the time it takes to decorate each one. Thanks for sharing them with us.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,

Wow! That's got to take a lot of work!
ReplyDeleteWhat a solemn and lovely honor for that police officer. In Oklahoma they don't light the branches, just the trunks. I found that odd but smart
ReplyDeleteOfficer Jason Moszer was shot and killed that Feb, he responded to a domestic violence call. It was so sad.
ReplyDeleteSuperb lighting on the trees! I have a penchant for trees, too!
ReplyDeleteThe blue tree is bittersweet....
