Safari jasper makes me think of all the colors one would don if going on an African safari. I fancy its color, probably because a safari is my ultimate dream vacation! It is the most exciting (and most expensive) item on my bucket list!
Festival of Trees Part III
Here are the last of the Festival trees I enjoyed!
Owls were part of many trees this year!
This is my favorite bird. I always love their shape and
eyes! Such a gorgeous predator! Owls were so popular that they made the topper for 3 trees!
I noticed when loading up this photo that there is a mouse
at the bottom. Dinner perhaps?
I guess I am fond of the style for the Christmas holiday! There
is always a couple decorated this way.
Here is the Wizard of Oz! The plushies are a little creepy looking but dolls can be so sometimes!
I love how this one is decorated with the snowy berries and
pretty ribbons.
I wish everyone a safe and wonderful week ahead. I would
love to end on a happy note but we have had a couple of horrible tragedies this
week in the US that I believe have us all on edge. I can’t help but think about
what the families and friends of those affected are going through. L ~Val
A safari is on my list too! Seeing all the animals in their natural habitat and being up close to them...how cool would that be!
ReplyDeleteLove all the owls and that last tree is my favorite!
A safari is not on my list, but I'd love to visit Hawaii instead (it is just as expensive) :)
ReplyDeleteThat focal bead is amazing! Very pretty bracelet. I love the owl trees AND the country one :)
have a lovely weekend,

Have you read this book:

The Sands of Kalihari was also a movie. I thought of this when seeing you want to go on safari. My parents had this book and years later I read it; you might enjoy it.
More great Christmas trees! The focal stone in your bracelet is a beauty.

What a lovely collection of trees. I love owls, and I think it cool that they use them as tree toppers. The trees with the ribbons are especially pretty. Your jasper bracelet is cool!
