a trio of trees

Have you ever noticed that different trees have different style branches and therefore create different textures when they are bare?

Does it amuse you to know I was lying on my back in the snow, winded from pulling the girls around the yard on a sled, when I took this photograph?

a heart

Not to get all mushy on you this week, but here's another heart! Remember the one I saw this summer? I seem to have an eye for spotting them on trees! I heart nature.
