January Trees

There's a Rumi quote: "And don't think the garden loses its ecstasy in winter. It's quiet but the roots are down there riotous."

Two or three walks at local parks show trees not always quiet - ready with catkins and buds. And often, the beauty of stark silhouetted branches against an often steely sky. Plus muted shades of low-light winter.

Perhaps not the greatest images individually, but the gallery as a whole gives a picture of how some deciduous trees (and one conifer) in the Pacific Northwest relate to January.
