2020 Ornaments, On A Green Chirstmas Trees, As A Mythic Symbol, Eugene, Oregon
image
A bird was created from two red sparkily balls, one atop the other. The yellow beak and silver eyes caused the balls to resemble a red bird. The top hat and star on its chest, gave the bird ornament a formal appearance. A glass ornament, which looked like a polar bear, was hung on a green Christmas tree. The reason we called it fuzzy was because it was slightly out of focus. A white rabbit was dressed in a fancy outfit. The rabbit had wings which made it resemble an angel. A tiny wooden bird house was hung as an ornament. A snowman and the word, "Welcome," were painted on the front of the bird house. A fake glass candy cane hung from the tree to the left of the bird house.

The W on the mug stood for Wunderbar. Signs on the side of the wall of the front porch identified this as the "G Street Wunderbar." A chalk sign advertised, "Trivia 8pm Karaoke 10pm." A long mural was painted on the side of the G Street Wunderbar in Davis, California. The mural was shaded by trees, creating less than ideal contrast.
