    Spring's Promose is not only in those bare branches but also in that wonderful expanse of blue sky.

    I love the perspective of this photo, the ski and also the tree, which is also very nice in winter.
    Good shot.

    Beautifull tree now, and I believe it would be more beautifull with full of white flowers. You are happy you have such a like this.

    What amazing saturated colours! And the tree stands so beautifully against the sky. The low angel makes for a great perspective. Very nicely captured and processed.
