Ode to a Winter Tree

A pastoral tree at sunrise, or sunset? Love the shadow on the snow.
I'm passionate about trees; I love them. I like to run my hands over their corrugated bark and look up into their limbs with the wind riffling through them. Trees cheer me up when I'm sad. 

Since it's winter, here are some pictures of snowy trees, just because they're so beautiful.

Isolated tree on a barren landscape, but a cheery sky

Magnificent frosted tree

There's something magical about the weight of the snow bending the branches and the glassiness of the frozen water surface. Very primal.
