Naked Trees Shiver

silver sky exhales 

           showers forests with ice dust....

                   naked trees shiver

Eamon, Congratulations, you won also, this is a beauty, I love the images in this, silver sky exhaling, I can see the sky with lips blowing and then the forests filled with showers if sleet/snow and the bare trees so cold, shivering, that is just beautiful. What inspiration do you need, this is just magic man.
