A winter tree

A past look at conditions in an ideal winter. Here we see one of my favourite trees, the silver birch, bedecked with hoarfrost.

Enjoy the day

It has such beautiful bark Herb and the square composition suits it perfectly, with the winter branches filling the shot against the lovely blue sky. I expect you can tell, I like it loads :-))

Have a good weekend,

Herb Riddle replied to Rosalyn Hilborne:

We can see why its called the 'Silver' birch Rosa, it simply glows in such conditions. I always did like this and have only seen the same kind of frost a couple of times since -once in Chester. Great that you 'like it loads'. it puts a smile on my face.

Enjoy this weekend. I hope it is indeed dryer for you. Herb

Herb Riddle replied to Eva Lewitus:

Eva, I pity you that you see no real Birch trees in your adopted country so I am mighty happy to share mine with you. Thanks for just enjoying this.

Keep well. Herbert
