A mistletoe

There is a mistletoe on the white birch beside Bistro Re Arbor.

It doesn't have its roots in the earth.
It is an evergreen tree and it parasitizes another tree and absorbs nutritive substance from the tree.

I heard that mistletoes are thought to be sacred trees to invite hapiness in Europe from ancient times.
In addition, they have a custom to decorate mistletoes on X'mas days. 

The mistletoe stands out in the sky because the white birth loses their leaves in Winter.

Anyway, it is snowing quietly as same as yeseterday.
