The bare stark branches reach out toward the frozen river.
[I've been unable to take any photos for a while so I reached into the archives.]
The trees at Fyvie Castle are glorious in every season. In winter they reveal their 'bone structure' - their architecture. This morning it was -10c and even the loch was frozen. I took my infrared digital converted Nikon D80 with the 'Super Goldie' (590nm) filter. I shot this as we crunched our way across the frozen lawns by the Castle ... towards the loch!
Happy Tree-mendous Tuesday! ;o)
There's more about shooting in infrared here: Infrared adventures on my Inedita website - if you are interested in what IR photography can offer you ;o)

We drove out to Chilliwack this past week and were pressed for time. But when I saw the snow that was left on the ground there from our storm, and the blueberry fields, I asked for a quick stop off the highway, and I always bring my camera. I've always liked the patterns of the rows of bushes, but with the snow between, it was even more pleasing to the eye.
If you zoom way in, you’ll see that the branches are red.
Leftovers and outtakes, this one from an accidental archive -- an old hard drive I was to wipe before tossing had old work on it.
A similar image might have been previously uploaded, but I deleted everything prior to 2017 so can't be sure.
A little snow overnight for us making a pretty winter photo.
Also great for #11/124 Bare Branches: 124 pictures in 2024
“For winter was coming. The days were shorter, and frost crawled up the window panes at night. Soon the snow would come. Then the log house would be almost buried in snowdrifts, and the lake and the stream would freeze.”
– Laura Ingalls Wilder
Merry Christmas and Happy Solstice everyone!
Snow was falling,
so much like stars
filling the dark trees
that one could easily imagine
its reason for being was nothing more
than prettiness.

Waardenburg Castle, locally known as Kasteel Waardenburg, lies next to the village of Waardenburg, in the province of Gelderland in the Netherlands.
Waardenburg Castle nowadays is a remnant of a castle with a polygonal shape dating back to around 1283.
The castle was preceded by a wooden castle built in 1265. It was then known as Hiern Castle, named after the hill is was built on. This wooden castle was founded by a Rudolf Cock. His ancestors owned the castle until 1401, which was then known as Weerdenbergh Castle. This name translates as "washland hill".
During the Eighty Years War, in the 16th century, Waardenburg Castle was taken by surprise and pillaged. The castle was heavily damaged in the process; only its heavy walls and the shells of the towers survived. The castle remained a ruin until 1627 when a Johan Vijgh gained ownership and started partially rebuilding the castle. During this rebuilding the bailey and the south wing, in which the entrance gate was situated, were completely demolished.
In the following centuries the castle was successively owned by the Aylva and Van Pallandt families.
Even in 1895 the eastern wing of the castle was enlarged and fitted with a little round stair tower.
Today Waardenburg Castle lies separated from the river Waal by a dike. But in earlier centuries the river flowed by its walls. In 2011 the castle was refurbished. Waardenburg Castle is now owned by the "Friends of the Castles of Gelderland"-foundation and used as an office. It cannot be visited.
Its exact location is at G.E.H. Tutein Noltheniuslaan 7 in Waardenburg.
This tree just begs to be photographed. I'm sure I'll be shooting it again in different seasons and different weather.
A lone twisted tree draped with moss and lichen stands in a field near the coast of Maine in winter.
An abstract winter composition of tree trunks, limbs and bare branches against a clear deep-blue sky. Bright early-afternoon sun and dark shadows. My eye is drawn to the contrasts in scale among the different elements of the tree, as well as to the overall abstract pattern.

Another scene along Lake St. Louis in Montreal's West Island area. Ice and snow like this is no place to enjoy a picnic; the snow was so deep I sunk way down in my small boots just trying to get this setting sun shot.
Today, July 2nd, it is hot and humid in Montreal and also here in Vancouver areas!
