frosty days

.The giant beech tree behind our house, the top is usually used as a perch for crow, starlings or blackbirds.

The smaller trees become the perches of the tiny birds, finches, sparrows or robins.

They seem to happily sit there in the cold, chirping and singing.

There are some small willow trees in the green down the street.

I thought they looked magical during a severe frost.

The spikey frost makes a lovely contrast to the curvy bendy branches.

The farmer's field on a foggy day.. the giant oaks looming out of the mist.

My own willow trees in my back garden, covered in frost. They take on a magical appearance.

This is my contorted hazel. It always has a special beauty in winter, when without its leaves, one can appreciate the twisted branches.

It looks even more beautiful when covered in a layer of frost. It is truly a wonder to me!

Snow also dresses the hazel in fluffy cold mounds, reminding me of those fluffy little clouds in the first photo.

My frosty back garden, near my shed. There's the contorted hazel, and the weeping willow, and the giant beech behind the wall.
