Oak Leaves And Snowy Tree Trunks © 2012 Bo Mackison
“Take long walks in stormy weather or through deep snows in the fields and woods,
if you would keep your spirits up. Deal with brute nature.
Be cold and hungry and weary.” ~ Henry David Thoreau (1817 – 1862)
The skies are a bright blue and the snow’s brightness has turned this wintry wonderland into a glittering reflection of light. I love the woods when the trees wear winter white thanks to the blowing blizzard and the sideways falling snow. And I especially like the contrast of the brown oak leaves, still on the trees.
The snow was perfectly timed to greet the official beginning of winter.

The contrast of the leaves against the white snow is just lovely Bo. 🙂
Thanks, Joanne. I always love the old brown oaks against a new coat of snow.
I love the juxtaposition of the brown leaves against the white of the snow.
Me too. 🙂
