The reason I can’t see the birds any more

My neighbor still has his Christmas tree (don’t know how it’s still green because it's not planted) but changed the decorations and moved it so that it now blocks my view of the birds who visit his yard. Also in view are a couple of his skeletons (now decorated for what appears to be the Day of the Dead, which isn’t until November 1) and just the edge of a flamingo at bottom right.

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

A St Patrick’s Day tree now.

He is trying to cover all of the celebratory bases!

Sorry Helen, but I had to laugh at seeing this. I read a number of your previous comments about your neighbor's yard and I wondered if it was really that bad. Well..., it is. We have a few eccentric folk like this on Quadra Island, but I did not expect to see this kind of yard decoration(!?) in your neighborhood. You have my commiseration, and sorry for laughing.

It may have doubled for Mardi gras but that too is long gone.

your neighbour has a curious aesthetic, and seems to be indecisive too...is he perhaps a politician?

I've never seen a St Patrick's Day Tree before! Perhaps the tree is planted and that's why
it's still green.

All decorated for St Pat's day, I see. I like yard art, but there's a limit. One holiday at a time , please. :) V

Looks to still be in Christmas mode a lot going on in a small space .
I like the fencing for the small property.
Apple delivers a fine photograph as always.
