I Love Naked........TREES
This is what I saw on my morning walk...naked trees but not for long.

Just look at the character of these trees. You can see the strength, you can see the skeleton, you can see the trunk, even the age. When they are in full flower or covered with leaves, all this strength is hidden.
Most people think trees are much prettier in the spring and summer. To them, bare trees are cold, dark, and lifeless. They do not see the beauty in the bareness, or the promise that lies within the wrinkled and peeling bark. I see potential and promise, that even in the darkest days of winter, life persists in the strong heartwood at the core.
I love the absolute beauty of naked trees. Spring is bursting forth everywhere around me now, and these beauties will soon be covered with their green summer clothing. I'll be grateful for their shade in a few months, but I'll also look forward to seeing them stand proud and naked next fall.
Where do you find beauty?

I also love naked trees! Our don't lose the leaves for long here in Houston but I love them naked and I am always happy to see them garbed. I grew up in Kansas and we didn't have a lot of trees so I truely enjoy living somewhere where we have an abundance. Although pine trees and sweet gums do seem to have their downsides in pine needles and the ball that falls off of the sweet gum tree but I still love looking at them.
