John pulled a nest from the tree before it came inside.
John pulled a nest from the tree before it came inside.
This year's tree was around 16 feet, so it was taller than the
ceiling fan by about 3 feet or so.
The tree was tipped onto a furniture dolly and rolled over
to the stairwell for decorating.
Once the top part was done, the tree could be rolled
to the preferred location and slid off the dolly.
Alan helped John put more lights on the tree.
Meanwhile, I decided to test my new camera's zoom feature.
This is the full picture taken from the fence by the
McGreevys' garage. Note the arrows.
This is the patio with Christmas decorations of the house
under the red arrow in the above picture. The 18x optical
zoom with image stabilization works exceedingly well.
The other red arrow points to this climbing rock, here
inhabited by Seth, Roger, Alan, and Danny.
While the guys were working on the tree, Seth had offered
to take Roger, Alan, and Danny on a hike to the park, making
them good targets for experimental photography.
They're hiking back toward Elephant Rock in the shade.
Alan hugs the decorated tree.
