We put it up on the patio so we could see it whether we are outside or in.
We are planning to braai on Christmas Eve and to eat at the patio table outdoors.
The tree is very simply decorated with white lights and all the beaded animals of Africa we hope to see over our Christmas holiday in Pilanesburg (safari animals and the Big Five), the Cape (penguins), the Karoo (ostriches) and along the Garden Route (great white sharks).
Looking at the tree from inside the apartment.

The Big Five elephant

The Big Five lion
The Big Five cape buffalo

The great wildebeest

A sable
... and the fiercest animal of all animals currently in Africa ....

I think I will leave the tree and lights up all year.
So festive!And private.
It's like being on safari every day.
Merry Christmas 2013 from Valley Lodge!!!

It all looks amazing. It must have taken ages to do.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Not as long as it took the guys to sculpt it out of wire. A work of art.
