Caught out

The Japanese Maple still had most of its leaves when the snow fell

Dressed for the weather...

The snow is thick and heavy.

The evergreen is dressed for the weather.

Corner Winter Storm.

Trees in snow-plops...

 

A white birch laden with snow-plops after our last big snow in February. An hour later, it had all plopped to the ground. 

 

Plop. Plop, plop, plop.

branching out...

 

This last series of tree photos I've posted have all been taken outside the same community library. I love how the branches are shooting out in all directions. 

Cheers!

Can I Have A Sweater?...

I've never seen a tree more in need of a sweater.

Cheers!

Carmen Miranda

Have mercy! I'm on holiday time and completely forgot about posting my Saturday tree post. It might have been the three bazillion hours I spent in the theater with Les Miserables yesterday.

I took this shot outside our community library after a good snowfall. It reminded me for all the world of Carmen Miranda -- Broadway actress/dancer/singer from the 40s-50s -- with her gorgeous signature headdresses.

Yes. That is how my mind works.

This is my last tree post of 2012.

See you in 2013.

Cheers!
