Swiss Romand and the French have a certain kind of tree with bark that looks like a paint-by-numbers product. The bark-marks are a light beige and a green-grey slate heavily lightened with white. Each year in the fall all the live branches are cut back leaving knobs at the top of the trees. In the spring new branches will sprout.
Along the lake there are many of these trees. Today as I was catching the bus home to Corsier, I saw that each tree had decorated small Christmas trees about the size of a table top tree suspended from the knobs some with as many as ten trees from a single tree.
It’s an interesting holiday decoration.
