A treasure in the ocean.<br />The tree...it brought tears to my eyes. Seeing naked trees in winter...I never for a moment fail to see the beauty in their stripped down appearance. You captured that perfectly ~ the interest in the tree itself, without the adornment of the leaves. And you gave it warmth, texture, and life. <br />Krummholz...i never knew about that word, but now I will never forget. <br />Thank you for being here, signing up, and your continued art. Thank you.
