When I encounter a beautiful leafless tree I just have to take a picture of it:
Sometimes even the shadow of it's branches is enough to get me all swept away:
And if there's a bonus of black birds, well, that's just enough to make my day:
But I'm not too choosy, branches without birds will do fine as well:
And as if the outside world does not offer enough barren trees, I need to make some of my own too:
Conclusion: a life can never have too many trees! ;-)
