the Holly and the Ivy

The holly and the ivy,
When they are both full grown
Of all the trees that are in the wood
The holly bears the crown

Lovely capture- love it and Annie Lennox too :)

@thresheg thank you Graham - have both in the garden so that was cool - holly here doesn't get berries though as it isn't cold enough

[Annie D]

@joemuli yes I am an Annie fan LOL

[Beryl Lloyd]

Beautiful capture of both - and I love the carol and Annie Lennox' version!

@beryl thank you Beryl - I like her version too - Arethas Christmas tree on my other image is cool too :)
