"They stand there very silent, with the cold flushed sky behind, / The little twigs flare beautiful and restful and kind."

Sending #ChristmasGreetings to #BlueSky friends from ❄️🌲free #BlueRidgeMountains
#ThickTrunk #NorwaySpruce
#Nature #EastCoastKin
A very tall Norway Spruce stands tall next to its twin in a town park In Banner Elk NC. The evergreens were trimmed after Hurricane Helene wrecked havoc in the park. The new grassy field behind was totally flooded during the storm. The sky is Carolina Blue with wispy clouds . The sign at the right designates the trees as Bird Watching area in the warmer months.
