  17. Hi Sandy -- Are you sure this isn't a white birch tree? We had a lot of these in New Hampshire, Colorado has a similar type.

  21. It's not a silver birch is it? I think the birch has not got such beautifully straight limbs.

    ReplyDelete
  22. I love birch trees that are bare of their leaves and against that blue sky is more beautiful.

  23. Oh my now how did you do that? My PC has been down all week so I spent the week reading my manual for my new camera. Obviously I missed something.

    This is a wonderful shot Sandy and you certainly chose the perfect title too.

    Mine is here for this week if you have time.
