man versus tree

in the midst of mid afternoon traffic-people driving here and there trying to pick up family, friends and turkeys there was a brief sigh of wonderment as i caught a and glimpse of a man in a tree....

there on the side of the street was a giant cherry picker machine with a man perched at the very top of his basket stringing individual strands of white lights along each tree branch of the oak trees that lined the street.

i sat back and finally took in the fact that the holiday season is here. It was some how relaxing to sit there and watch him intently deck the trees to bring us some holiday cheer.

as the traffic light changed i passed him by and headed off to the rest of my day with a little bigger smile on my face then i had before i stopped at that light.
