I've heard rumors of fierce winds, but fortunately, have never been in one.
Perhaps the split one had given insult?

Splitting Spike
There're some odd things in the woods. A trail from a campsite led past this one. As with sculpture, walking around it provided different views.

Solstice Tree and Lights
We're usually several days, if not weeks, behind. ("Better eventually than never." is what they say.)
There's a guy who brings a bunch of trees from Mora and sells them from his yard near the Nature Center. Each year, as our stamina wanes, the tree gets smaller...and with fewer decorations. This year we settled for just lights.
Bonsai, the cat, cogitating on whether it would look better in a horizontal position on the floor.
Location shot...
With the lights turned down...

Solstice Music & Tree at Michelle's
Escaping the urban noise...
I was enroute to, we live in the Northeast Heights (Frights), the Nature Trail that parallels the Rio Grande. Just before the junction was a tree-lot with two Hispanic guys keeping watch. (What with one thing and another we've not had a tree for several years.) Their smallest was $45.00, but he let me have a foot-and-a-half one, perfect for us, for $15.00.
Michelle did ceramics for about 15 years. This was from 1998.
Sophie, my cat, a mergers and acquisitions specialist, died in 2010. Michelle did her portrait in 1995.
Mushroom from my childhood. Pink star from Dillards Department Store back when One El and I were Marketing Executives at UNM Press (late '80s). The Wizard Cat was a gift from me to Double El; undated.
Devout agnostics, when One El and I met in '86 she was still fresh from a medieval choral group in D.C. that sang a cappella. She has a beautiful voice and unselfconsciously accompanied many of the carols on the first selection below.
All of us are ornament enthusiasts. This year we're drawing from Double El's and my collection. Donuts! Carrots!
This evening's playlist. Classics; you'll likely recognize 'em all.

The tree stand can be seen in my baby pictures
