Winter Tracings


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.

  4. Such a beautiful, otherworldly picure, Victoria. It looks like an old painting. Your Lake Gregory is magnificent.

    I 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.
