The Barenaked Tree of Winter

I took this picture of a winter tree in my back lawn. Winter is the time of year where everything seems to be lifeless and grey. A time where the whole world seems to be asleep. It's the quiet time of year. How I long for springs birth of all new things, and the sites and sounds of life again.

In this picture the sun was shining for a change, that doesn't happen very often in our New York winters. So as much as I complain about winter this was a beautiful sunshiney day.
