  7. Hey, I recognize that snow! I noticed that it was easy to tell which way the wind was blowing at my house by looking at the trunks of the trees. They were caked on one side all the way up.

    Nice shooting, and it's good you got it when you did!

  16. The snow lingering on the tree branches is a beautiful sight. Though probably cold, it's the kind of shot that one will love to have a hot cup of cocoa while admiring them :)
    Happy Weekend Carver!!! {HUGS}

  24. Carver, this is a beautiful shot. The snow in the top of that tree looked like cotton as it was opening up before I could see the whole picture. :)

  25. I love the framing! I always love looking at the bare tree branches taking on a 'coat' of snow.
    This looks like my world as well.

  26. Carver, very interesting how the snow collected on the branches! :)

  28. very pretty

    the snow against the sky is perfect

  29. It almost looks like snow "blooms" in the way the white is clumped on the end of the branches. Winter appears to be mimicking spring, or looking forward to it.

  30. Carver: We get that snow in the trees but not often that blue sky.

  31. The contrast against the blue sky is stunning the snow makes it extra special.

  32. Frozen cotton on the trees...lovely.
