When stars fall


Yay, more blizzardy photos! ;) Just outside the back door we have a triangular trestle, and a gigantic monster of a thorny plant growing around it. The creature is far from contained, but it never fails that a few birds make nests in it before we get around to pruning it. The snow got so heavy on the thorny branches that, not only did it resemble something you'd see in a forest (think curtain of doom), but it had toppled over the very sturdy tressel.


Somehow the snow was kinder to our little apple tree. I think the lensbaby emphasizes my point a little. ;)

Also from the Monster Plant. It's a bit out of focus, but I was more attracted to the effect of the branches anyway. Alien grapple-hooked appendages, anyone? XD
