The wonder is that we can see these trees and not wonder more.

Sharing the beauty of Northern Michigan.
Welcome!
I love "Up North" and have appointed myself the unofficial travel ambassador for Northern Michigan. There are so many great things to do - visit the State Parks, ski, snowmobile, view elk, see the moose of Isle Royale, hike, kayak, visit a winery, bird watch and so much more. Please join me in my travels.

That almost looks like a white ribbon wound around that tree trunk. Must have been the way the wind was blowing and how the snow caught in the tree's bark. Interesting!
Beautiful picture.
Pam
No matter how much I hate being snowed in here in Michigan, you cannot beat the beauty of the trees in the snow.........
So pretty....so pristine looking.
That is a cool comment about it looking like ribbon. I was going to say that it looked like someone painted snow on it to make it pretty!
The artistic touch of God!! Never ceases to amaze me.
I love trees. Beautiful photo.
Patsy
Just breath-taking!
Gorgeous photo! Makes me want to get my snowshoes and go exploring. -Sandy
Shelley, You know that my favorite snow pictures are ones like yours--where the snow clings to all of the trees. I love seeing evergreen trees filled with snow also... OH---what I can I say??? I love trees--and we have a 'gob' of them in our yard!!!
Hugs,
Betsy
Great Photo Shellmo:) The tree looks tempting enough to try to climb:) lol! Happy Almost Friday!
Yes, Cedar's comment said it best - 'white ribbon". I was thinking "barber pole" but that's to prosaic. It's a ribbon - lovely!
Oh my..I too thought it looked like a ribbon ...beautiful
Now that is just awesome!!!
It really does favor a white ribbon on the tree - Beautiful shot!
I love the patterns of the snow outlining the dark tree trunks and branches.
That tree is a snow hog: it almost looks impossible how thick it's piled up on the branches. Must be sticky snow.
Cedar - I love the white ribbon anaology - thank you!
Pam - thanks so much!
Cindy - I agree! Hopefully spring is on the way...
Busy Bee - Thank you!
Wendy - I think snow always adds an extra oomph to photos!
Darla - me too!
Benny & Patsy - thank you!
Mildred - thanks!
Sandy - this is a great park to snow shoe!
Betsy - I'm with you - I'm a big tree lover too!
Nature Lovin - if I was a little big younger I might have given it a shot! ha,ha!
Deborah - Cedar has a way with words. But then again - so do you! :)
Rambling - glad you thought so!
Ms. K - thanks!
Tricia - Gracias!
Willard - I love being able to find those contrasts.
Robert - I am laughing at your comment snow hog - it's true!!
God's work is wondrous! And you've captured it so beautifully!
Love the quote..and the photo is one that you can look at many times and always see something different each time!!
You have done it! A marvelous tree image, not an easy thing to do, just wonderful!
Thanks for visiting my site!
That texturized process would look great on some of these photos you've taken of our beautiful Michigan, matted and framed -- beautious!
Fabulous, artistic photo. I LOVE IT! (As always with your photography.)
Oh my goodness. That is absolutely breathtaking. You are sooooooooooo lucky to get to experience the seasons. Enjoy!
As to your comment on Dawnie's blog, I think if I had a flask, I'd put wine in mine too!!
Happy Valentines Day! Karen
Beautiful photo!!! I LOVE the snow, and here in "southern" Michigan all our snow melted the last couple of days..... I hope we get more! How creative is that God of ours?
hugs from the southwest (of MI) - Diane

Rob @ www.thecottagechronicles.com
You've done a wonderful job of capturing the beauty of those snow-draped trees! The quote is very appropriate.
Oh goodness....I love love love trees....and those trees are magnificent.
The Tree Hugger
