Naked...

"The merry year is born like the bright berry from the naked thorn.”


My second Shadow Shot Sunday; the young tree in front of our home, in all its bare beauty.

OK, that was supposed to be "good for us!" *snork* I shouldn't leave comments before finishing that 2nd cup of coffee.

Good angle on the bare truth, catching all it's bones, displaying full splendor...now I can't wait for the Haute Couture of leaves.

I love trees. We bought our first home in large part because of the huge Pin Oak in the front yard. Our current home is backed by a grove of old growth trees and they make our deck seem like a tree house. Your shot captures the potential of a young tree waiting to reach its prime....sort of like our children! ; )

It's hard to believe at the moment that in a few months that bare tree will have buds, isn't it?
Great shadow & verse this week!
