Tree Watching in the Snow
January 22, 2012
“All that summer conceals, winter reveals.”
— Annie Dillard, Pilgrim at Tinker’s Creek
The leafless tree skeletons on winter reveal their unique branching patterns. Trees have either “opposite” or “alternate” branching. (You can learn more at this link.)
“Every branch big with it,
Bent every twig with it;
Every fork like a white web-foot;
Every street and pavement mute . . .”
— Thomas Hardy, “Snow in the Suburbs”
