When the landscape seems mostly to be composed of dark trunks of trees contrasted with white snow and deep greens of the evergreens, to come across this scene where the last of the clinging leaves bring bright splashes of colour can almost take your breath away! Such beauty, like a ray of hope that there will be colour in the world again!
Both Steven and I have been very sick with the flu and are not yet recovered. I just wanted to reassure my friends that we are still here and hope to be back to our usual selves soon.
That's OK Ellie.
I've been pretty busy teaching a mentorship, sorry +donnie martin
Hello Ellie haven't seen u in a While.
😀 +Alan Mason nothing beats the natural world around us, does it, Alan?
I just love it Ellie. It caught my eye because only this weekend did I see something similar. Really LOVELY!!
You're welcome, +Emmanuel Chanda – I'm glad you like it.
+Alan Mason this was processed in Lightroom, but the colours were the natural palette! That's what caught my eye and made me take the photo. Both Steven and I stopped when we saw it, but I was the one with the camera 😀 Thanks a lot, Alan.
This is wonderful processing +Ellie Kennard. Was it done in LR of PS. I just love the brown/orange colouration combo!!
Thanks. I love plants

And this one’s a beauty too…and yes, HOPE. Bill thinks that of the three: faith, hope and love…HOPE is the more important. While I could wage a significant argument, I can see his point. Since I’m writing this way after the fact I know that you’re somewhat better now, hope Steven is too. I’m just getting over a nasty cold…but that’s NOTHING compared to the flu!
Thanks so much Sandra. We are getting better at last and so with Spring soon coming let us hope that all these flu’s and colds will be finished!
+Lynn David Newton I'm glad I rarely do, too, Lynn! The last time I had flu was in the mid nineties I think. Every 20 years is not too bad, I guess.
+Richard Ball​ thanks a lot and you are right.
Thanks +Sumit Sen​!
Simple beauty, you are right, +Gary Whitehouse​ – no need for drama, though we can have that, too!
Thanks a lot, +Ralph Mendoza​
Thank you, +Photo Mania Canada​ – your reshare is greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot +Dale Ricks​ – it's on the mend now.
Stronger, yes, thank you, +Childa Santrucek​
Merci beaucoup, +Doc Dolittle​!
Thank you so much, +Leonardo Hervacio​!
It is seen that withstood the adversities of nature. Cute pic!
Wow très jolie merci Ellie
So sorry to hear about your flu symptoms, hope you're feeling stronger now? It will take some time to fully recover…lovely photo that you posted and get better soon both of you!!
Take the time to recover…sorry for your illness
Our prayers are with you!
Congratulation +Ellie Kennard your photograph has been selected to be displayed at +Photo Mania Canada #photomaniacanada. Thank you for sharing your fantastic work us!
Have a great day! 🙂
+Giselle Savoie and +Mark HELM
Lovely colors and winter photo
Such a great photograph! We are so lucky to have this beauty around us here in Nova Scotia.
Beautiful shot!
These hardy clinging leaves are always a treat to see on a woodsy walk +Ellie Kennard and your image shows that so well.
Nice picture. Flu stinks. I'm glad I rarely get sick.
No, not yet, +Susanne Stelle​, thanks for asking.
Steven has had to cancel his teaching tour out west, at great expense to us, but he's just too weak to leave the house, let alone take a 9 hour flight and stand on his feet all weekend teaching. It would simply not be possible. It's a vicious virus.
Are you feeling better ? +Ellie Kennard
+Beena R thank you so much!
+CL Mareydt thanks! We do too.
That white really does make it stand out, thanks +Giselle Savoie
+Donatella Nicita thank you very much.
Delicious photography
Love the color with all the snow!
Beautifully captured …
Hope your are all feeling well SOON!
Beautiful.. the color of the leaves is striking, seen against the snow's white! So sorry you guys have been sick.. Sending some get well soon wishes and positive energy :)) +Ellie Kennard
Thanks so much +Cynthia Carden Gibson
A stunning and most beautiful image, +Ellie Kennard !

+sandar aung thanks.
I hope so, +Linda Jess and so does Joni. Thanks for all of your help.

Love that photo Ellie, We should be able to go for a walk by it again soon.
Thanks so much +Prue Stopford – that's very kind. We are doing both, no choice really. If it weren't for friends we would be in trouble (walking Joni, doing shopping, getting wood up from the basement for the fire). Friends are our family. 😀
Thank you +Keith Elliott
Beautiful shot 💕❤️💕
Take care, Ellie! Sending positive thoughts for both of you, stay warm and take your time 🙂
Thanks +David R Robinson – my pleasure.
Nice. Thanks for sharing with #treetuesday!
