Hmm. In BC fir trees are promoted as the best Christmas trees, especially grand fir.

Thanks! I suspected it wasn’t a native species here.

Norfolk Island Pine. They are so lovely, but NOT the best choice to use for a “Christmas Tree”.. the ornaments will sag down…

That’s tha very same succulent plant you see on the California coast.
Ice Plant: Carpobrotus Edulis; 3 sided leaf, invasive but interesting.

Thanks to Theresa for the fab info but the only one I knew of was this:
The gum-like substance in rosin is applied to the bow in order to generate friction between the strings and the bow. It improves the resonance of the instrument. Without rosin, the bow's bristles would slip and wouldn't be able to rub the strings with enough friction to produce a sound. 🌲

Brrr! But, when you’re overheated from cycling this “ shock” is sometimes ok!

It’s very nice and the next few places should be as well, judging from other journals here on CB.
