Branches of trees

My second Photo Hunt post for this week because I failed to find a way to tie the themes together.

I love trees in the winter when you can see the shape of their branches clearly against the sky, especially beautiful at sunset..

Covered in snow they look beautiful too though - fairly fortunately for me - I haven't seen any like this at all this winter.

Sadly we've seen a lot of branches where they shouldn't be, in the river which has burst its banks and stayed high for the last month or so.  Maybe the snow is preferable.

I love the shapes of the trees in the winter.

Especially in the snow.

A collection of what I take to be rooks at the top of this one.

A winter-flowering cherry, not a very inspiring tree in the summer, but I do like its shape.

Trees lining a driveway, limes I think.  They were lovely last autumn too.  They are relatively young, having been planted after the older trees were destroyed in the "hurricane", the Great Storm of 1987.
