When tree silhouettes grace the sky

Outlined against a pastel sky

the winter trees bring us back to the essential

and the rising moon teases the branch tips.

Like graceful dancers in flowing robes

The majestic Poplar tree plays ball with the moon

and the Cedar tree stretches its limbs against the sunset

Delicate tendrils pay homage to the earth.

    Tree silhouettes are one of the beauties of winter. Love how you've honored them here! My favorites are the third and last image, for their design.
    Talk soon :)

    So many times we look at bare trees and think stark and cold, but you've catpured their shapes and beauty! Love the gorgeous sky!

    These are beautiful, I love tree silhouettes. Love the tendrils on the last one, gorgeous, and the pink in the sky of the first first two almost make them look like a watercolour. Happy weekend. :)

    Oh Sandra, these are so beautiful. One of the best things about winter is the beauty of trees in silhouette. Thank you for an entire post of them! I especially like the Poplar and the last photo. :)

    Hi Sandra! Thanks for visiting my blog - those owls are addictive, I think Bunny Mummy may have started an owl invasion! Your photographs are beautiful - I'm still trying out different settings and haven't quite got there yet - one day (sigh) x
