The dearth of snow has made me nostalgic, so much so that I’ve taken to lingering over old photographs of the properly wintry scenes we’ve often enjoyed. Winter has many colors, but, if white isn’t among them, the others are less lovely. Snow is necessary to the beauty of the blotched and riddled bark on the trunk of a tree.
It sets off the greeny beauty of the hardy moss and lichens.
Snow gives the puddle a mod, abstract look that I wish a painter would capture for me . . .
and makes subtle hues pop, enlivening the bare grey boughs of the trees.
I wish for the satisfaction of seeing some snow fall soon!

I have seen beech trees and often they can be very tall and their girth is large……Nice pictures, I too like the one with the puddles……..
Celia says
Harley–these photos were taken in a woods famous for its beeches. They are gorgeous trees! Celia

Janet, Thank you; I enjoy your photography, too. I envy your grand surroundings, there out West. But if we look, beauty is all around us. CHC
