Bare trees in thick moss on our way to the hill. The area is Derroura woods, from Irish "Doire Abhra". Doire = woods, but I'm not sure about "abhra" – it's a form of "fabhra", which means eyelash or eyebrow. But "fabhra cnoic" = brow of hill, so maybe it refers to the crest of land overlooking the lake

This morning, I was faced with snow drifts up to my waist outside the front door, thanks to the high winds and snow in the night. I spent a good hour digging my way to the garage so my wife could get her car out and get to work. Thankfully, I was able to work from home.

This shot is from about an hour after I finished the first dig. I completed the second dig in the afternoon, and am very relieved there is very little snow in the forecast for the weekend.

Don’t get me wrong. I love snow. I love living in a place where there is real winter — but I think I wouldn’t mind some signs of spring right about now…

Just because I can't think of anything interesting to type here as an excuse to share these trees doesn't mean I'm not going to share these trees. Because they brightened up my day and maybe they'll brighten up someone else's day too.

Admiring this mid-city tree, I recalled the time that Frederiksberg Council made it policy that every home in the council's area 'must have view of at least 1 tree'. Such a real, realistic, simple, nice local action.

Summer trees must be so embarrassed about the way they look

If I were a summer tree, I'd want to be a winter tree when I grew up

@CiaraNi my pleasure! Looking into #wintertrees just now, I have discovered the #fernstodon and #ferndiverse feeds, and I am here for those too :-) 💚 ferns

I wasn't joking. I have no sense of humour.

If you think I don't have a lot of photos of bare trees just lying around doing nothing, you have another think coming.

@CiaraNi oh, there is? That’s brilliant! Not muting, loving the chat and fediverse. ☺️ #wintertrees

Thank you to @isac for making me realise there's a hashtag for bare trees. Of course there is. This is Mastodon. This is one of the reasons I love living in the fediverse.

Seriously. Off-season trees.
