Winter Fruit

It comes as no surprise that I need to work on finding some beauty in the winter.
So to combat my seasonal blues I decided to do a personal photographic study on the phenomenon of what I call "winter fruit." I started noticing this last winter actually, when I saw a tree with no leaves but still dripping with apples. It was so cool looking!  Unfortunately that tree is completely bare this year, but I started to find a lot of resilient berries and such. Unlike leaves, their colors do not change, they do not fall with the wind. They hang on until pushed out by some new fruit I suppose. And I find this beautiful. 

So I present to you:
Winter Fruit







If I find any apples, I'll let you know. 
Until then thanks for looking.
xoxo

For those who have eyes to see.....it is as if the fruit is saying I am here to give you joy in those days of cold and gloom.

These are great! It's harder to find beauty in winter but it's there. I love how bare trees look against the sunrise or sunset...you can see every little branch & twig, plus you see the overall intricate pattern they all make together. Can't see that any other time of year.
