Winter, in black and white

The stark beauty of Winter is often overlooked, as the clearest, prettiest days are usually the coldest.

Today I've decided to post a few photos that I've taken recently, but in black and white. The removal of color variations lets you focus on the structure, and of course winter structure to me means trees.

It's not all trees, but mostly so.

It's strange to me, but those frigid days are already fading from memory -- the last week has been in the 60's nearly every day. Cold will return, but mild is the word for this winter so far.
