So pretty Sara! I'm so fascinated by trees impacted by weather. On holiday there was a forest on the edge of the beach and the trees were so gnarled by the winter and you could see how each line of trees protected the row behind until they were stood lush and unaffected in the centre. Great work x

thank you, Di11y, for your visit and for your enthusiastic comments. I love trees and how they actually work together; they're inspirational and kind. Have you ever read the book THE SECRET LIFE OF TREES or THE HIDDEN LIFE OF TREES. They're both captivating books. Have a great evening, hugs, Sara

You created a stunning image of the silhouetted trees. We have a large tall ash tree at the bottom of our garden and it looks magnificent when the light fades this time of year. Tom

oh, your silhouetted ash tree sounds delightful. We have many bare trees along the creek bed in our neighborhood. Like yours, they are captivating. Thanks for your visit. Happy New Year, Sara
