It's pretty quiet around here so I decided to share a bit of my photography with you all. I am certainly not a professional just a retired lady who likes to take pictures.
This is a tree outside my kitchen window that has exactly one leaf left on the tree and is hanging on for dear life. I took this shot last winter during a snow fall. I hope you like it as much as I do.

I was hoping when I took the shot that the falling snow would show up so I'm pleased they did.

There is a bud beneath the leaf, I wonder if that is usual.

@fishtiger58 - Sure do like that photo. In fact, it reminds me of myself - hanging on by one little finger. -Gus-

How true I never thought of that. It is kind of lonely.

@fishtiger58 I remember as a kid we use to catch the snowflakes. Great memories.
