Winter in the boot-heel of New Mexico isn't like winter everywhere else in the country; if someone from back east, or even from Utah or Idaho heard me complain of the cold weather (which I've been known to do), they'd roll their eyes at my definition. We rarely get a taste of real winter, and even hover in the upper 50's or low 60's sometimes. But in my defense, it's the very common winter WIND that I have real issue with.
Anyway, with almost no real winter to speak of, when it IS white outside it's worth pulling the camera out for. This is a fruitless mulberry tree in our backyard--and honestly, I've never liked it...until it was bare and covered with snow. Then I decided it had a very interesting shape. I also love the way the trunk bends away from the heavy weight of the (un-pruned) branches , and how that trunk is framed in this shot.
