My favourite trees hands down...I love how they tend to grow in clusters. They make for a beautiful shoreline!

tough tree to stand alone all winter cold....great color contrast...i like the clear blue sky....i think winter sky much better than summer?

D, thanks, I don't think I have a particular favourite tree. but Birch are certainly cool.

outdoorexposure, Yes, because of the tilt of the earth this time of year the sun never gets very high in the sky so the sunlight doesn't reach us in a straight path, that's why the sky is darker now.

Very nice composition Chuck! I really like that blue sky!
Oh, and I wish I had a tree that big in my back yard!

I love the way it looks against the sky. Such blue, and the shadows are wonderful.

Hello Chuck,
First, thx for posting regular comments on mistralcolorS. ;-)
For this kind of tree photograph, I sugest you to frame the tree not on the center. Just shot the principal subject on the 2/3 and you'll see the difference.
Continue.
See ya/

Our seasons are heading towards cooler climates now and some of the final growth of vegetables other plants etc is taking place now. Nights are noticeably cooler and sleep is a better prospect most nights now. It's interesting to see the effects of the natural elements on vegetation, plant life. Some seem better at withstanding some of the extremes of weather.
