New and old ornaments

Photos of ornaments hung on our tree in 2020.  Some of the carvings are 25 years old or more.   The wreath was carved from poplar rescued from a pallet and is among the oldest of the carvings.   The angel with trumpet is maple.  The others are mostly pine.  The bearded tree figure was new for 2020.
