Oh my, it looks very cold in that photo! Very pretty winter tree!
Naked trees against the winter sky are beautiful.
My husband and I said the same things to each other about the winter trees the other day on a drive. They’re lovely, aren’t they?
I prefer trees in winter. I think their “personalities” are more evident.
Terrific capture.
Ethereal and delicate. Very atmospheric image.
Nice picture. I remember that storm! Hopefully we won’t have anything like that again. I voted for you!! Congrats!!
I love the way the sunlight is peeking out around the tree. Nice shot Yogi!
Very lovely! I really love the look of leaf-less trees against the sky.
My SWF photos are here and here. Hop on by if you have the time. Happy weekends.
Great photo, I love this shot.
Cheers!

Oh I love that bare tree against that winter backdrop!!
Yogi: Neat tree capture and it looks like you got a few birds in the shot.
Beautiful picture! You are definitely the photographer in the family.
I love the silver light of winter behind that very dramatic tree!
Great job with the picture Yogi! It’s really beautiful.
I’m amazed at how well the trees have bounced back from that horrible ice storm. In another year or two we probably won’t even notice.
But, it was sad seeing them after that storm. It was pure devestation.
Neat photo. It looks cold though.
Happy Friday!
I agree that trees have a special beauty in winter, maybe because they make us think of possibilities. I like the gray sky behind with a hint of highlights.
LOVE this Pic Yogi!
love trees in winter, you make a much more intimate aquaintance with them.hotro
I love how the tree looks up against that sky, what a nice capture . Looks like there is also a few birds in them branches
Excellent photo, Yogi! Thanks for visiting my “My World Tuesday” post! 🙂
The sun looks as if she is trying to decide…is it too cold today. Very nice picture.
Perfect shot! The structure of a tree against the sky is one of my favorite things.
