I spent some time hiking in the woods over the Christmas holiday. We were in Quebec, and there was plenty of snow. I am always lagging behind the others on the trail, taking in the forest and the details of individual trees.

Like this pine bark.

Fallen trees can be interesting too, unless you are very short.

Trees are also beautiful at night, especially in the snow. It’s a different world up there, where winter is still a season to be reckoned with. Pretty, though.
