Bare maples

This is the view from our terrace/deck. In summer, these two trees are thick with dark red leaves that filter the morning sunlight. This time of year, the leaves are gone and the low winter sun can shine through. When there is sun.

A neighbor's house across the road is visible in winter but hidden from view in summer.

Fortunately, these past few days have seen breaks in the successive weather systems and we've seen a good amount of blue sky and sun. The ground is still wet and muddy, though, so doing a lot outdoors is difficult.
