The Christmas sparrow

Seen in my next-door neighbor’s yard, where there are two decorated Christmas trees plus his Halloween skeleton and much (much) more. I liked how the leaf complemented the real ornaments in the background.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.

Lovely composition with the muted background. Are you saying the skeleton is still on display? V
