Christmas Greetings

NO ONE can say that I like cliches, so here are some images of the abundant mistletoe seen on our Sunday walk in lovely west Wiltshire (near Iford)

The lime trees towering above our heads supported many big bunches of the hemi-parasite and it seemed a pretty easy deduction that the berries had been transferred to the fruit trees below by birds (thrushes?); the fruit trees were more mistletoe than tree!

- Happy Christmas!
