Wind might be poetic....at times..... but your shot definitely is! The foreground trees look like two strong legs belonging to a giant watching the fir trees dancing in the wind.

Nice framing to emphasize the lean of the trees, Lorraine. I happen to love wind and you've captured its effect wonderfully. Excellent.

MaryB from Staffordshire, United Kingdom
I like the way you've captured the feeling of safety and protection from the weather that is beyond the large trees (although I expect the reality was very different) A great image Lorraine.

Very nice framing of the trees framing the trees. The two trees appear as if swaying in the wind. 'Ol man (woman?) winter sure has a grip on things. It does make for some beautiful scenes. Great shot Lorraine.

tyan from Singapore, Singapore
wonderful babe,another of your very poetic creations..who knows that one can capture on the camera something as abstract and invisible as Mr. Wind?You just did it:)
I read a poem somewhere before,that a mother's love is like the wind.You cant see it with the naked eye.But when trees sway,you know wind is here.None can 'see' a mother's love,but from her sacrifices and acts of love,you know,its there.Salutations to you,one of the most wonderful moms-L-:)

HorseRotorVator from Newton, United States
Is that what is bending the tree? Wind? Or is it just the ice on the top. Or both. I bet that chill is something else. :)

@HorseRotorVator: I think the Wind had already bent the tree, but the ice was a nice topping ;) lol thanks a lot HRV!
