Inclement Weather/Winter Wonderland Part 2

The leafless tree branches make interesting patterns against the sky. After a storm some branches are snow covered while others bow under the weight of ice. When the wind blows or the temperature begins to warm up the ice on the branches or falling off the branches sounds like wind chimes.





I took this photo at about the same location as one in In Between. The difference is this photo was taken a couple of hours earlier and during a break in the storm.



Snow covered branches on a graceful old maple tree.



Woodpecker holes on a dead tree.



The trees look a bit sinister to me though they didn't when I was taking the photo.



Small branches and new snow.



Ice covered branches.
