Ethereal Morning

"Nature teaches more than she preaches. There are no sermons in stones. It is easier to get a spark out of a stone than a moral."

- John Burroughs

This morning was cloudy, and after sunrise became quite suddenly misty, lending a rather beautiful and ethereal quality to our backyard and the bush. Despite my lurgi, I grabbed camera and tripod and braved the chilly morning, popping out onto the deck for a few shots.

Though it's not of a tree, trees certainly feature prominently, so I will submit that it meets the "trees" challenge.
