Amazing Trees


Oh look, we got more snow today.  Not a surprise, however.  About 8 inches or so.  It was a beautiful, soft snow, with no wind and large flakes that rested gently on all the tree branches.  This first photograph is my favorite.  These are trees on our neighbor's property, and they are overgrown with vines, up where we can't reach them to remove them.  I helped by cutting the vines at the bottom so they can't grow any more, but the vines that are already up there are there to stay.  But what an amazing jumble!


These trees are in the back yard of our neighbor on the other side of our house.


And not to be left out, our favorite Japanese maple tree, frosted with snowflakes.

The Japanese Maple looks so delicate even with snow on its' branches. I like seeing the dark branches layered with varying degrees of snow. So pretty. betsey

Beautiful scenes to see in photos but I'm so glad I don't live in the northeast any more. Good for you for getting out there and making images in spite of the weather.
