Two trees to remind us of the not-so attractive trees of our past. Tinsel over load and the silver and blue wonder!

Writing: These trees aren't exactly like the ones they represent. It's difficult to capture the past--or the future. Have you ever notice how a television show like "Buck Rogers" is stuck firmly in the 1980s (hair styles, makeup, attitude, language) while being set in the future? The same is true of old science fiction, but I love the nostalgic feel of Asimov and Simak and their concepts and themes continue to be valid--we are still people after all.
