January 12

.


The sky in the east was darker than the sky in the west.  I'm not sure I've captured the way the light was odd.

Snow on the tulip tree.



These flowery structures are the seeds left from last year's tulip-tree flowers.  Full of snow.



In the lower left corner is what's left from the flowers of two years ago.  All the seeds are gone, leaving only that pointy thing in the middle.  The pointy things in the middle of last year's groups of seeds are mostly covered by the snow.  You can just see the tip of the one in the top "flower".



You can see more pointy things sticking out of the snow in a few of these sets of last year's seeds.

They're beautiful -- like little cups of ice cream!

They do look like ice cream, don't they? :-)

I wonder why they all so determinedly point up.... Surely that's not a coincidence..... Maybe Mama Nature doesn't want to spill the ice cream. :-)
