Sometimes nature seems to decorate itself for Christmas.

While hiking at Greeneyes Wildlife Preserve, I came across some flowering Summer Farewell (Dalea pinnata) that were being worked by some honeybees.

The pine needle like leaves and the combo of the red bud balls and the frilly white flowers remind me of Christmas, hence the name of this photo.

I'm planning to make a print of this one to hang in our house around the holidays as well as a Christmas ornament.

If you'd like one too, check out Christmas in Florida in my photo shop.

You can get prints, ornaments, coffee cups, all the way to yoga mats via the store.

I hope you enjoy this one as much as I do.
