Description

A zoomed in view taken through the same set of windows as my last post. Tree branches (especially the thin branches of some firs & pines) bend significantly under the weight of snow & sometimes can even break off if they're weak. Occasionally, I catch a glimpse of a large clump of snow falling off a branch it has been weighing down & the branch bounces up & down for a while until it settles back in it's original position. Yes, sometimes we have way too much time on our hands here in the back country. My 200th posted photo here. I think my photographic horizons have expanded significantly from exposure to the creativity of the many fine photographers here. I thank you all for that inspiration...

The snow looks like a dog climbing down from the tree. Great capture.

Really like your postwork on this series Claude...it gives a feeling that I often get looking out the window while the snow is in fact still falling. It is a comforting feeling of being all snug inside while nature is doing her thing outside:) And congratulations on #200.
