Winter scenes

Took our car for a spin up the Hudson River today. On a bitterly cold day it was definitely winter. The snow that fell in NYC the day before we returned has melted, but it was holding on here. I've always wanted to grab a snap of the impressive icicle clusters along the roads so this was a good chance. 

The light snow's outlining (this isn't a very good shot) reminded me that forest trees are not just vertical but as important to the life of their community once they've fallen, criss-crossing the forest floor.
