I think falling in love with our new home in Pennsylvania in the wintertime has made me even more partial to the season. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17422439.post-20770698524090840982006-12-21T11:26:00.000-08:002006-12-21T11:26:00.000-08:00You have a good eye!

The Black walnuts are simply outstanding, and I heartily agree with you on the Sycamores and Beeches... there just seems to be so much LIFE in the dormant season!<br /><br /><b>Pam</b>, I have robins who nest in the White pines next to our house, but I just can't seem to spot their nests. But you know who's really elusive - the owls! I hear them, and I've seen a couple flying at night, but I REALLY want to spot one during the day. For all the times I've heard them call, I often wonder how many times I've walked beneath one quietly watching me without any indication that s/he is there! ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17422439.post-14798836047056940552006-12-19T04:56:00.000-08:002006-12-19T04:56:00.000-08:00What a nice post - I've been doing the same on my ...What a nice post - I've been doing the same on my little one acre and it is indeed amazing what you find after the leaves fall! I'm especially after finding smaller nests - I have painted buntings each year nesting here, but I've yet to find their nest. I'd love to!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17422439.post-86246921908655824832006-12-18T20:25:00.000-08:002006-12-18T20:25:00.000-08:00Interesting to think about the aesthetic merits of...Interesting to think about the aesthetic merits of deciduous trees in the winter as oppopsed to solar (leaves shading things in the hot summer falling to let in the warming rays in the winter). Sycamores. Definately a winter favorite of mine. The amazing smooth bark of Beech as well. Contrasting with the ruddy, worn and weathered character of the mighty oak in all its variations.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17422439.post-64588113669248825272006-12-18T10:31:00.000-08:002006-12-18T10:31:00.000-08:00Revealing is exactly it - I think that many decidu...Revealing is exactly it - I think that many deciduous trees are even more beautiful in winter, when you see their elegant understructures! :DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17422439.post-79176347838886381642006-12-18T08:44:00.000-08:002006-12-18T08:44:00.000-08:00Lovely photos...yes, winter can be very revealing ...Lovely photos...yes, winter can be very revealing in its own way, can't it!Michelle Woodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15675115550511773648noreply@blogger.com
