Naked, Shivering

there… solitary on the street corner she stands naked, shivering ~*~ Note: Sorry, but there's no mystery here. There is a little oak tree on the street corner (I've taken photos of her since her leaves began to change colors). Then two days ago after a long, cold rain, all her leaves were gone!
