The decorations in Giro Park in Penticton are quite unique this year with these 3 dimensional lit balls hanging from trees int he park. Quite impressive when you first come across them because you don't actually see the trees until your eyes get used to lighting. Branches of the tree are dusted with a coats of snow from the afternoon's snow fall.

▶ "Platanus orientalis —also known as American sycamore, American planetree, western plane, occidental plane, buttonwood, and water beech— are among the most massive trees native to North America, rising over 100 feet tall, with trunk diameters that can exceed 8 feet.
Flowers appear in spring and develop into fuzzy, round fruiting balls that hang on long stems like Christmas ornaments. They darken and ripen in October. Within each ball are tiny, seed-like fruits that disperse in downy tufts like daffodil fluff, as the balls disintegrate."
