Lovely gingerbread leaves with icing!
Yes! Thank you, Fi. 🙂
By Which camera u clicked it ?
Canon Rebel XS
Oh, nice. I must say that Ur clicks are subjective.
Thank you. 🙂
I really want u to follow my blog
this one looks really really cold!
😀 That happens frequently this time of year. 😉 Yesterday it was a balmy 42. Heat wave!
It’s going down to 38 tonight! Yikes!!!!!!!!!
Now that is really cold for you (and the plants that prefer a warmer temp). Break out the down coats!
Reblogged this on anita dawes and jaye marie.
Thank you for reblogging! x
Simply beautiful!
Thank you very much!
Showy snow….
🙂 Thanks, Alice.
Lovely. 🙂
Thank you, Robin. x
Ha. I took an almost identical picture yesterday. I especially like the sound of snow falling on beech leaves!
Yes, or when they rustle in the slightest breeze. A voice in the forest. 🙂
Hi, I nominated you for a blogger recognition award tag because I really like your blog! Here’s the post:https://abettermandotblog.wordpress.com/2017/12/20/thank-you-for-the-nomination-for-the-blogger-recognition-award/
Thank you!
lovely!!!
Thank you!
I have come to love beech trees in the winter. That picture could have been taken in the woods behind our house. Austere but beautiful.
Thank you, Laurie. They really are beautiful and when they rustle in the breeze, so nice.
Love Beech leaves!
Reliably persistent, they give us something to see (and listen to) all winter.
So calm. I can use this today. Thank you!
Thank you, Sarah. Calm is good!
Wishing you a Merry Christmas and happy new year Eliza.
Thank you, Brian. Same to you!
This is nice. I don’t see beeches growing here.
Thank you, Melissa. Beeches are one of my favorite trees, beautiful in all seasons. Too bad there aren’t any in your area. Perhaps in a park, if there are any?
I don’t think so. I’m not sure why. I should look into that. With global warming I think we should all plant a tree from outside their normal range so there is genetic flow.
Sadly, we are losing many already, esp. maples are having a hard time.
It is hard to imagine a maple having a hard time. I was talking with a steward the other day that maybe it is time for land managers to look at species from a country-wide view, not local. Species may very well wink out in one area but perhaps thrive elsewhere where they might at one time have been considered invasives.
Everything is evolving so rapidly, no one can predict where it is all going. Time will tell.
Slowly I’m seeing those in charge of managing lands accept the idea that things change and they have to let them. That would happen anyway, and now of course, well…as you say, no one can predict.
As they say, ‘Resistance is futile.’ We must embrace and accept the inevitability of change.
glad this is “wordless”, so I am not challenged by new vocabulary such as “beribboned” 🙂
😀 Ha, funny!
Love the combination of colours:-)
Thank you, Karina. Beech are lovely in all seasons. Do European beech hold onto their leaves?
They do on beech hedges – which we have. But a browner bronze as opposed to your lovely deep yellow ones! Happy Solstice!
Thank you!
I’m surprised that the delicate leaves hang on to the branches despite their seemingly heavy winter coats. I don’t know if that speaks to the toughness of the leaves or the lightness of the snow crystals.
Though unusual for deciduous trees here, there are a few that hold onto their dried leaves. Oak and ironwood give way on windy days. Beech are slippery and curve downward, so most snow sheds.
Autumn and winter together! Happy Christmas, Eliza!
Thank you, Anca!
What golden color from the leaves!
Yes, and they will last all winter. A beautiful reminder of the summer.
Great..!!
Thank you!
