When a tree sees its shadow...

 

This shot was taken Sunday at Frenchman's Bay. 

I happened to notice the tree was casting a shadow, so I put a version of this up on Instagram with this caption: "That tree saw its shadow, and we're going to have 6 more months of winter." #cackle #winter

Just sayin'.

Don't we just need this right now?

Taken somewhere in Burbville in November of 2013.

If you can't be leaf-peeping in New England, this will do.

Faux Trees...

This is my beautiful rosemary bush three days before Christmas.

It looks like a grove of tiny evergreens leaning under the weight of the ice.

Faux Trees!

It's looking much better today.

Saturday!

Ice and Snow...

I look at this and can't get business in the front, party in the back out of my head.

A study in contrasts.

Sunday!

Winter Beauty...

A blend of ice and snow and tree.

Welcome 2014!

Saturday.

What's wrong with this picture?

Nothing really but that painted metal tree isn't a beanstalk.

Theresa and I chased around London at New Year's taking pictures of their whimsical and striking metal trees.  Enjoy

Security Blanket...

This tree looks in need of a security blanket. It's the first thing I thought of when I saw the trunk shrouded in all that red foliage, especially with so few leaves clinging to its branches.

Cheers!
