I love the spare, elegant beauty of deciduous trees in winter. I was visiting a friend in Crestline yesterday afternoon, and we took a walk around Lake Gregory. All the lakes up here are so low, it's heartbreaking. You can't see the exposed shoreline in this photo; I didn't take any photos that showed the shoreline. I keep hoping for big rains. Maybe it will happen. But it was a lovely walk, nonetheless, breathing in the cold, damp air scented with pine trees, water and the wood smoke from a few fireplaces.
Sigh you put me there.
ReplyDeleteI love the beauty of the tree's form in winter
But the gardener in me always manages to think of which branch I will will prune when weather gets warmer ha!
I love the bare branches against the sky,
ReplyDeleteAnd to have the water as well -- what glory!
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful, otherworldly picure, Victoria. It looks like an old painting. Your Lake Gregory is magnificent.
ReplyDeleteI too adore the winter tracery of trees. Deciduous trees offer stunning seasonal delights.
I despair for the drought you're experiencing. I truly wish there would be an end to it insight. A return to wild, wet winters generously filling reservoirs and lakes to the brim.
I think of the animals who also suffer in drought. Having to go farther to seek water, and thus exposing them to dangers of humanity as well as climate.
How magical! I will try and send you some rain. Do a rain dance!
