I bet it was extra fun to do that walking knowing that you had to keep your eyes peeled for other decorations. I am impressed that they put the bells up so high - that takes work! What a cool start to the year. I'd like to think that it's a sign that this year will be full of unexpected beauty and good surprises! :)Lisa from Lisa's Yarnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05335500882510597919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-22882999478541478082017-01-05T03:36:03.707-05:002017-01-05T03:36:03.707-05:00What a beautiful place to walk and how special tha...What a beautiful place to walk and how special that someone(s) took the time to add the joy of the season.CatieAnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09433305330968854290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-19036960404230200772017-01-04T13:21:42.453-05:002017-01-04T13:21:42.453-05:00In one of your first photos I wondered what the re...In one of your first photos I wondered what the red garland looking thing was!<br />How absolutely precious and Yes I too would want to thank whoever took the time and trouble to decorate the forest<br />AND to perhaps find out the rest of the story ♥ too.<br />Seeing the ducks standing on the ice makes my feet cold and I have on socks and slippers ;-)<br />Happy New Year dear Jeanie<br />oxo~*~Patty Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03953758102509632020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-80245282368190827712017-01-04T05:57:08.402-05:002017-01-04T05:57:08.402-05:00Jeanie, what a wonderful walk for New Years!

And don't you know that whoever did it (one person, or many) had wonderful fun themselves, giggling as they hung the balls and tossed the tinsel, anticipating the surprise that others would feel.<br /><br />I've never seen anything quite like this, but when you drive around Texas during the holiday season, you'll often see a lone cedar tree along the road, all decked out in tinsel garlands and other pretties. That little bit of sparkly beauty beats out the decorator-tree-marvels, hands down.<br /><br />As for the bell? That made me laugh. When I listed all the kinds of bells people like in my blog, I never thought to include "Christmas decoration in the woods" bell!shoreacreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16284698314697628805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-52176259773986065782017-01-02T08:57:32.615-05:002017-01-02T08:57:32.615-05:00That is the kind of walk that becomes MAGICAL...I ...That is the kind of walk that becomes MAGICAL...I have heard of a similar story..on one tree in the middle of a path where many walk their dogs..so when we moved here ..the first two yrs..I decorated a tree on our borrowed landscape..which everyone skis by..and snowshoes by..I have not done it in years..as that tree is now 25 ft:)<br />In 15 yrs..so many trees have quadrupled in size!<br />Oh you must have loved it!La Table De Nanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04358539954508050792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-49483220855774004152017-01-02T08:37:52.298-05:002017-01-02T08:37:52.298-05:00It's like a fun children's story where the...It's like a fun children's story where the animals of the woods are celebrating the holidays too...
