Beech trees hang on to their leaves throughout the winter.
I tried to find out why beeches quite firmly keep their dry, winter leaves until the new ones push through, but there were no definitive answers.
This one had dropped all of its nuts and deer and other animals were getting some early spring nutrition, but nature’s reasons for hanging on to the leaves remains a mystery.

Beautiful misty trees from Achim Bornemann. Such a gorgeous picture. I hope you stop by his blog for a look at his many other pictures.

You can tell that spring is coming! A very peaceful early spring photo from Stuart. N
The snow is starting to disappear from these needles.
I am sure however that winter isn’t finished with us yet. It will try to re-assert itself and will snow, huff, blow, and swirl, but its efforts will dwindle until … spring!
Happy mid-week.
A stump trapped on a beach outside Victoria, British Columbia …
… lodged there very firmly.
A tree no more, battered by surf and gravel, a forest orphan …
… among many, many others.
During these snowy days, colours are a welcome sight.
Does your day seem a bit more colourful?
Happy Thursday.
