Here we are picking out our Christmas tree! How 'bout this one?
Not really, just kidding, these beautiful Fraser fir trees are on top of Mt. LeConte in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. They are safe from us humans, never to be cut down for Christmas trees, but are dying from the attack of the balsam woolly adelgid. This picture was taken on our trip there this last September.
We used to go out into the woods looking for Christmas trees, or go to a local tree farm, but now we have one that comes out of a box, pre-lit, no muss no fuss.
