Beautiful scenery Lorraine - even though cold! Won't be too long hopefully before the bare looking tree gets its Spring/Summer clothing! :-)

It has to start somewhere, and this looks like as good a place as any ... the real blessing is that you've found it!

I like the simplicity of the image Lorraine. A "start" a new beginning, I see shoreline and soon it will be a colorful scene.

@Barbara: Won't be long now, thanks Barbara :)

Gary from Cochise County, United States
What is it about the lone tree that is so intriguing? It's strength? Independence? Your image of this one in the harsh landscape has me thinking.

@Gary: Nice philosophising Gary lol thanks a lot!
Janice Thomson from Canada

HOORAY!! The ice is melting... won't be long now, my friend!! And I do love the image... that lone sentry against the stark environs just speaks volumes to me.
12 Apr 2008 4:01pm
@amy: Very poetic and HOORAY, or in French YOUPPI....lol thanks a lot Amy ;)

Michael Rawluk from Prince George, Canada
We had a heavy rain and the snow started dropping as if by magic.
12 Apr 2008 6:12pm
@Michael Rawluk: Good for you Michael, it wouldn't be magic to me lol :) but I know what you mean, it did that here for a minute or two then changed back, amen!
standley from brou-sur-chantereine, France
Beau démarrage sous l'oeil vigilant de cet arbre. Il y a du pain sur la planche! Mais le temps fait bien les choses dit-on.

@standley: Quel beau commentaire Richard merci beaucoup :)

Koushiro~光子郎 from Singapore, Singapore
haha sorry i was stoning for a while there... Yea i guess its sad to know that the time for beautiful winter scenes has come to pass... I kinda like the colour one better, the blues fit the scene well.

@Koushiro~光子郎: I'm glad you enjoyed this one more Koushiro, I did too :)
@Daroru: I appreciate that Daroru, thanks a lot :0
Illuci from Hurdegaryp, Netherlands
You must be as lonely in your blog-isolation as this tree is on this marvellous picture, presenting the vast and cold landscape very well!
