Description resubmitted to support my holiday spirits

Winter Trees

The wet dawn inks are doing their blue dissolve.
On their blotter of fog the trees
Seem a botanical drawing.
Memories growing, ring on ring,
A series of weddings.

Knowing neither abortions nor bitchery,
Truer than women,
They seed so effortlessly!
Tasting the winds, that are footless,
Waist-deep in history.

Full of wings, otherworldliness.
In this, they are Ledas.
O mother of leaves and sweetness
Who are these pietas?
The shadows of ringdoves chanting, but chasing nothing.

by Sylvia Plath

*looks out the window*....*looks back at the picture*...*looks out the window*....*looks back at the picture*... Did you take this here? *raises eyebrow* sure looks like where I live! *shivers* A beautiful shot even if its freezing here! Maybe I'll come back and look at this picture in a few months when its summer and all humid and then I can enjoy it even more.... If thats possible, I really like it! Excellent shot, love the high contrast and the desolation in this piece.

There are hardly words to describe the beauty of this image. Nature really is magical and so is the way in which you have captured it. +fav
