As angels go, she is pretty pathetic, but this is the one that has topped our tree for 56 years. She and the stars around her were attached to the bow on my very first Christmas present from the man I would marry in 6 months. The large yellow star is one of many ultra light tree decorations that daughters made in 1981 with 'Shrinky Dinks' for a Norfolk Island Pine that was our tree for several years.

Going through some of my very old photos, and this was one of the few I'd forgotten. This dachshund was quite a character; exhibiting a typical dachshund's idea of fun.

Beautiful pictures, as usual. :) Dawn, those trees look like they are wearing hairnets! So perfectly shaped. The Cliffs of Moher, Ireland

That's a female you can see some of the red seeds that come from the inside and fall to the ground and make baby sago palms. Extremely poisonous plant by the way will kill a dog with in minutes if they chew on it. I have a huge one I really want to get rid of to close to the driveway.
