Beautiful lighting and texture on the snow.

Very pretty capture Priscilla! The lighting is perfect. Very pleasing shot! Don

thanks for the reply, Priscilla. Welcome also, - in my eagerness to ask about the tree, - forgot to say that : ) - as this has been a mystery to us for sometime now, about why our tree just up and died like that. Can see now that this is most likely a japanese maple. Without the leaves, it was hard to see the difference.

Alandra, If I remember correctly, my Mom called this a Japanese maple. It is very small. Only about 2 feet tall in this photo. And yes, it survived this ice storm, and several others! It is very pretty in the summer. It's a shame she is moving and can't take the little bugger with her.

Thanks for the welcome Alan! And the comments.

Hi Pris, Welcome to TLF.. I have always liked your photo of the little tree trying to survive. The ice that has collected on every branch is amazing to this desert lizard LOL..
