Winter has finally stripped all of the trees in my front yard with the exception of one holdout. There are a few species of trees which try to hold on to their brown leafy coats for the entire winter season.

The bright blue winter sky makes a wonderful background on this sunny day.

Visit ‘On Dragonfly Wings with Buttercup Tea‘ to see Becca Givens’ Christmas tree entry for this weeks challenge (number 267! That’s 267 weeks of tree photos!).
