weeping larch

This afternoon, I went outside to once again photograph the weeping larch.



Its colours have become muted, the needles a soft palette against the frozen brown earth.  Some of the branches have already shed their needles, allowing the cascading limbs to reveal themselves and for the small cones to become more visible. (It is because of these cones that larches are considered deciduous conifers.)




Moving closer,  I discovered something grey.  Resembling a ballerina's tattered garment, it was the papery remains of a wasp's nest!






With my camera, I see the intricate designs of nature that might otherwise go unnoticed.
