A day playing in the trees.

Despite a beautifully bright sun, the day was still cold.  But the snow has nearly melted which means I could once again walk into the grassy areas of the wilderness around Watertown.

Hip, hip, hooray!

For my efforts I found a treat in these two dancing trees.  I rarely title my photos, but this one easily became "The Dip".  Do you see it?

During my walk I also found a few more wild looking, crazy with bare branches, trees that I have become a bit obsessed with this winter.

Then I captured a nice image of a peaceful prairie view.

Spring feels so near, and yet we likely have another two to four weeks of winter.   One thing I have realized about myself this winter is that although I do not love the cold, I do love the all the golds that we see in the fields all winter.

See on,

Wild trees of winter.

I have just fallen in love with the trees this winter.  I love that over winter you can see each bend and branch of every tree.  I find them just gorgeous.

It helps that my hour long commute in both the mornings and evenings takes place very near the magic hour, when light makes everything incredible. 

Here are some of my favorites from Sunday.

The cold can sure be miserable, but finding something lovely to photograph sure helps me forgot about it.

See on,
Julee
