husband's requirement for the tree was that it was a "brave choice." this would have been pretty brave. and rather alternative.

this one was my first choice. i liked the light green ombre effect. sabin said it was so 2013.

this wasn't our tree (ours was already netted when we returned), but i think this may be my favorite photo of 2015.
