What do you see when you look out through the rain-spattered window of your mind?
And how do you interpret it?
My goal is to photograph at least one thing of beauty each day, and share that with the world.
Because that's just how beautiful life is, don't you think? Please join the beauty and share your thoughts.
"Beauty is no quality in things themselves: It exists merely in the mind which contemplates them."

Bent, but not broken
Bent, but not broken, Amherst, NH, February 2007, Nikon D40 with 18-200mm VR lens, Focal length 90mm, Exposure 1/250 sec @ f5.3, ISO 200, no flash, circular polarizing filter © Steven Crisp [Click on the photo to enlarge]
This picture is after our recent ice storm, that took down many trees and even more limbs. Typically, birches are one of the first to go, since they have many delicate branches that just collect the ice. This one doesn't look too good, but at least it didn't break. Will it ever fully recover?
I don't know. There is the saying "that which does not break me, makes me stronger." We'll have to see if that applies to trees.

May not apply to trees but this one looks pretty sturdy!
