What you see here is a branch of a cherry tree, covered in frost. I woke up to a frost covered world this morning, and even though I'm not a big fan of winter (ironically, given the fact that I live in a part of the world where the cold months by far outweigh the warm ones), I have to admit I think days like these are beautiful.
After having shot this, I was struck by how often I've stood almost exactly at the same place on cold days, photographing branches. I think it has to do with the background -- my neighbor's wall. It's quite dark, so it contrast well with the frost. Here are a few over the other autumn/winter shots I've taken of branches with the exact same wall as background.
In the last photo I just turned 180 degrees at photographed a frosted branch against a pine tree.
My garden is not big and it's not very photogenic per se. But there are quite a few things to photograph anyway, at least when I pay attention to the small details.
