a trick of the light
this oak tree is in a neighbor’s front yard. i was walking down the road one day in autumn and the leaves caught my eye. in the afternoon light, they resembled spring blossoms. it looked like the tree had skipped right over winter and landed in spring.
(i so admire the hardiness of oak trees. they manage to keep many of their leaves through the icy gusts of winter and the brown leaves lend a tiny spot of color to the winter landscape.)

Spring will come. I promise!

a beautiful picture of the promise of spring.
Their name is live oak? I love that!
BEAUTIFUL tromp l’oeil effect! Oh, for spring… *sigh*… It’s been an unusually mild winter here, not nearly as snow-rich as usually. I don’t mind… LOL! C’mom spring! ;o) Happy Days, Elizabeth ((HUGS))
On the days when I snowshoe or ski, I don’t mind if spring takes its time. Other days, I agree. Happy days indeed!
