more snow

Some more shots from after the snowstorm in December...

chapel and fall trees

Paperbark Maple

I wasn't looking to post about this tree again - I was actually just walking up the hill to get a look at the chapel in the morning sun.

When I turned to head back toward the road, I was struck by the paperbark maple. The sun shining through the bits of peeling bark made the tree appear to be on fire (click on the photo to see what I'm talking about).
