BIRCH TREE, WINTER GARDEN

My first Winter image of the season. We had our first snowfall of the new Winter season. I simply took this picture of our front yard with strong patterns of various shrubs and of course the birch tree as the central focal point. I always like the pen and ink effect of the branches contrasting with the white snowy background. It reminds me of Chinese and Japanese ink drawings.

You got more snow than we did up here, it seems from your first shot of this winter season, Mike. I likewise like the simplicity of the photo.
