Snow Slammed © 2010 Bo Mackison
I frequently tramped eight or ten miles through the deepest snow to keep an appointment with a beech-tree, or a yellow birch, or an old acquaintance among the pines. ~ Henry David Thoreau
I did tramp through the heavy snow, eighteen inches deep in the drifts, and in below zero weather, the air cold enough to turn my exposed fingers to stone, to keep my own appointment with my favorite tree in the yard, the paper birch.
Mr. Thoreau and I agree — a tree is a most delightful acquaintance.

That photo would be well worth it!
We haven’t had any snow..and I’m missing it!! Beautiful image. Love the clear blue cold winter skies against that white snow!!!
What a lovely image. I’m not surprised this is your favourite tree with that wonderful bark.
Love this shot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gret texture and color contrasts. Also, it looks like skiing weather to me. 🙂
Paper birch. The name alone makes me love this tree. Your photo speaks to me deeply, as did your final post on the Calm Space. You are a blessing.
That was some snowstorm, too. Love your birch tree shot. Thank you for slogging through the snow to get it. 🙂
Love the title and the birch tree and snow perspective! 🙂
I love the perspective on this one. Great title, too.
I’m with you and Mr. Thoreau. It’s worth tramping through the snow to spend some time with a tree.
