Tree filigree

Winter weather has arrived over a month early this year -- we have even had bursts of snow flurries, so unusual for November in North Carolina. Some leaves remain on beeches and oaks, but most have come down in the past week of rain, wind and unseasonable chill. Just when I'm missing all those brilliant leaves that graced the landscape, though, I look up and see how very lovely are the now bare branches lacing the sky. Mother Nature's beauty is unlimited to time and season -- her gifts just keep coming, sustaining and comforting us whenever we take the time to look up, out, over there ...
