Breathtaking.
Let's stop with the Bing Crosby "White Christmas" and start dreaming of a "Hawaiian Red Christmas" instead!

Wow - that's incredible! What does your neighbor feed that thing?

Lovely comments....Mahalo nui loa! (thank you very much!) - The photo was taken two years ago and Annette had since moved to a home they had just built.

I'm very sorry to say that my neighbor and friend Annette Carol Donaldson died of cancer in October of this year. She was a lovely person and a fighter to the end.

I'm also very sorry to say that the person living now in her old house did not keep up the yard and the poinsettia bush looks quite scrawny at the moment. I sure hope that someone will start taking care of it soon.

Foodie, I'm so sorry about your friend, it's hard loosing special people in our lives. I hope your new neighbors start to take care of their yard, guess not everyone is nuts like we are!

My sympathy is extended to you as well, Foodie.
Photographs are like that....they can trigger all sorts of memories, both good and sad. This one hopefully brings back happy thoughts of past days.
Happy Holidays!
