I'm still learning how to take pictures without much light. This was taken just after 5:00 PM, so it was getting dark.

Well, I guess winter is starting to subside because today I was able to get home in time to snap a picture before dark. If you walked by this tree for the first time today, you probably would think it was dead. Just wait until next spring and summer!

Happy New Year!

As you can see, the tree is really taking on a different look altogether as the New Year approaches. Ready for a long, snowy winter.

I snapped this picture today in the cold morning air. You can really see the branches beneath the leaves. Still holding on, but settled in for a long winter.

Another Snow

As the days move on, you can see the tree getting ready for winter. The sky is gray, possibility of more snow tonight.

Winter has begun...

I have been out of the country, and I returned to shorter and colder days. It has been hard to get pictures recently because by the time I go out it has been too dark. I did get home early from work today, so I was able to snap a few pictures. You can see that leaves are starting to drop and the branches are beginning to show through. The cycle continues...

Beautiful November day, great angle

Here is a great angle taken today with the gorgeous sky. The tree is still looking good but I expect it to start losing leaves pretty soon. You can see from this angle that it is cut away from the house, with the trunk off to the right side just a bit.
