Last week, on Tuesday, January 26th, I woke to a scene I've viewed before. All the tree branches were heavily coated with fresh white snow that had fallen overnight. I cannot view such a scene without thinking, "winter wonderland!" This shot was taken from my living room window with my iPad. The image has been cropped and edited.

Trees in winter
With the arrival of winter, and often at the end of autumn, a new problem arises with trees. This specific "winter" problem is associated with the accumulation of wet snow and the formation of frost on the branches and trunks of trees. "Freezing rains" - phenomena occur under certain combinations of weather conditions: sleet, wind, fog, sudden changes in temperature with a "transition through 0 degrees". Such a significant load on the branches and trunks of trees can lead to emergency situations:
1. Breaking off and collapse of large branches. Typical for poplar, aspen, willow, linden, oak. To a lesser extent for pines and elms.
2. Breaking the forks of co-dominant trunks. Most often found in the above tree species with V-shaped forks. Less typical for U-shaped forks of birch and spruce.
3. Bending under the weight of snow and ice, with possible breaking of the trunks of inclined trees.
I found the trees without obvious problems :)

Trying out the new gear. This is taken at the 1: 1 cropping/aspect ratio at 100mm. I will need to experiment with the 1.6 crop and different focal lengths.
Many thanks for your visit, comments, invites and faves...it is always appreciated.
We definitely do not get the winter’s like we use to, we received 6 inches of snow so I figured I would get some photos before it melts away.
It's that time again :) When winter days are brooding and dark, I look outside and my magical Witch Hazel is blooming again to bring cheer to January days in my garden. The rhythms of nature are so comforting when all around seems chaotic and depressing. I treasure this weird and magical flower!

Just back from a quick trip to Grand Teton National Park. It was so beautiful there. However, it only stopped snowing for short periods. We only saw the sun for a couple of hours in 4 days! The mountains never fully showed themselves. But it was fantastic! The wildlife was everywhere and the snow was incredible. In many places such as this, the snow was really to high for me to see over if I wasn't in the truck. Here I kind of put the camera over the mound of snow and prayed I would be able to get it while standing on my tippy toes. It was a true winter wonderland. Just what I was hoping for.
Will catch up with everyone as fast as I can. Can't wait to see what I missed. Hope you are all having a wonderful week!
