I love the winter shots
I love this; the sepia tone, I think, is what "does it" for me.
I see them dancing too. Swinging and swaying. Oh yeah!!
The image is great in sepia.

Great shot! I've not seen winter snow from Oklahoma in a long time! My family is from Ponca, but now i'm out in LA.
I love winter scenes this is great!

I see the image of the trees dancing now that you mention it. I do like it simply as a monochrome image of snow and branches, too.
That looks like it could be on a holiday card. :)
Trees often seem to me as characters frozen in time together.
Bill, you are getting better by the shot!
Great photograph. It does look like dancing trees.
I've passed on an award to you today Bill.
Those trees are gorgeous and even better in sepia!
I do agree with Susan and it looks like they are smiling and having a great time too :-)
Nice shot. It does look like two trees dancing :)
they certainly do look like they are dancing, I love your image, thanks for sharing.
Happy WW!
