Stuck in Branches

The moon has been beautiful this week, along with bright blue skies and crisp clear air - it has been adding a sparkle in the lengthening afternoons. The sun, though low, has given warm days (unless in the shade / wind) but when it bows out for the day, brings bitter evenings & nights (like February should be).

The birch is an old one - and the evening sun was bringing out its precious metallic hues. Strange how warm the branches look, when the ground all around me was dotted with fractal encrusted grass - the ice having no opportunity to melt throughout the day.
