Description
resubmitted to support my holiday spiritsWinter 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.

Very nice photograph.
It reminds of the area around my grandparents house in Western Pennsylvania....which I thought it was at first but I see you're in Virgina.

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
