Winter Branches

While I would much rather see trees full of green leaves, I do love to look up through the empty branches in the winter.  Nature has an interesting way of using lines.  This picture is almost like an optical illusion to me.  Although I know they are tree branches, I can also see how it looks like the veins on a leaf or even arteries on some sort of biological picture.  I say this and then see my own irony.  The branches are like arteries carrying nutrients to the rest of the tree.  

This is definitely an image I would like to revisit every season.  Just to see the dramatic change that takes place throughout the year.  I love images of nature.  I love seeing how different things change with each season and how they adopt different textures, colors, and lines without any human interference.  It's amazing to think that this tree that is currently dormant and bare will soon wake up, grow leaves that will beautifully provide shade for so many, and then turn a beautiful red-orange before completing the cycle all over again.  It just seems so hopeful and beautiful.
