Beech Sapling, Green Lane Reservoir

Posted by Russ Devan (New Hanover, United States) on 24 February 2008 in Plants & Nature and Portfolio.

I found this little beech sapling along the shore of Green Lane Reservoir on Saturday afternoon during one of my walks. I like how this and the other beech trees in the woods stubbornly hold on to their leaves all winter, even after all the other deciduous trees drop theirs. They add a subtle but nice color to the winter woods.

It was good to get out for a walk in the snow after Friday's snowstorm. Snow has a way of making everything look fresh and new. Somehow, the cold is much easier to deal with when there's a layer of new fallen snow on the ground.

Thanks for stopping by.
