Sunday Stills

Today's Sunday Stills challenge is trees- no problem! I took advantage of the heavy snowfall for this one. But first, the day before, I shot this one of a tree that all the walkers along this road have a little fun with; every Christmas they hang decorations one it as they walk by; one or two at a time until it looks like this:
The snow had just started falling, and by morning we had plenty.


Bet this hawk was wishing I had a feeder full of mice.

By noon, the trees had shed their snow. The nice thing about late February snow here is that it doesn't last long.

But it sure is pretty while it lasts.

I love to see the trees dressed in their snow. Great shots... and I love the 'walking' tree. That seems like fun!

I love that tradition with the little tree :)

Sure wish the snow had petered out/storm shifted, we could have used it here!

Oh, and the second from last pic is my favourite. (wonder what it would look like in b&w?)

Well MERRY CHRISTMAS! I love them all but I have to say I like the bottom one with the tree framed in wire the best for some reason. Caging Winter!

Lots of winter white snow! The little bird did not mind at all!

The next to the last shot is awesome!! Your eye is drwn right into the image with the diagonal alignment of trees and converging diagonals of the snow-covered road [and fence posts]. The branches are wonderfully laden with snow, giving them a lacelike appearance. Just a wonderful scene/mood. Brava!
