tree-hug on january 9

A cold wind  speeded up this morning's bendy tree-hug.

I was amazed how the bent trunk created a shadow like leaf-creature.  

While a similar shaped tree-creature looked out from above.

A horned tree-buffalo in a proud pose. 

Cold beauty in the woods today.  Message:  As above so below.  Keep your hearts warm despite the cold wind.  Appreciate the shadow to see the form.   Peace
