Sun shining on a stand of birches. The reddish color is from the new buds fattening up.
That's not a necessarily a bad thing, but it means that I don't get much in the way of variety for photographs. As spring approaches and (hopefully) the weather improves, the plants and trees will be flowering and there will be more to see. And I may even take the camera beyond walking distance of the house.

ReplyDeleteDon't we all, Walt...
don't we all??!
But hey!
It is sunny in France today!!
Well the wetness hasn't impeded your photos. You've posted some killer shots this winter... like this one. Hope those new buds don't get frozen off. I saw that the temperature dropped below freezing in Amboise last night.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing trees that bud up in the way your birches are. Spring is coming day by day.
ReplyDeletei don't mind the wetness. in less than an hour, it's the 13th (i believe) winter storm this season here on the east coast of US. :(
ReplyDeleteYou've done an amazing job of seeing creative shots just in your immediate vicinity, Walt. I've been enthralled by the color you've captured, especially today's photo! Can't wait for the shots coming when you wander further astray...
ReplyDeleteWhy reddish? I would think they would be green.
ReplyDeletetim, we'll take all the sunny days we can get!
ReplyDeletestuart, yes, it was frosty here.
evelyn, yippee!

starman, they haven't opened up yet, so there are no leaves.
