Trees Like Cotton
Yesterday’s snow was so pretty, laying itself down thick and heavy on the tree branches. Everything was drenched in white. Then today in the sunshine all that snow started falling off in globs, leaving behind these odd clusters of “cotton” … Continue reading
Abstraction in Snowy Branches
I guess we’ll be shoveling later tonight, but meanwhile the snow is beautiful ❤️

Seen walking back from the dentist
