More snow

The trees are so pretty with the snow on them.

The Japanese maples seem to look especially nice with snow on them. There is something wispy about them.


The fruit trees at work that Bob said might be cherry or crabapple:





Locust:


Sycamore:



Birches:




Assorted and unknown:






Oak:




Red maples:




Cottonwood:



A tree on the way home from work.  I am not sure what kind it was, but I know there are ash in that area, so probably it was ash:

Snow on trees

Today I was reading a book about bonsai. It talked about different shapes for bonsai trees. Then I went outside. It snowed last night. The snow on the branches of the trees seemed to accentuate the shapes of the trees, so I went from looking at shapes of trees in books to looking at shapes of trees in my neighborhood.
