Morning Tree Silhouettes: Our Ongoing Tree Study

We have been watching and observing all the different shapes of tree silhouettes we have in our neighborhood. We are all pointing out different shapes and patterns and I can honestly say we are loving our winter trees.

This morning we were looking out and noticed that our trees were filled with American Robins. I counted sixteen of them at one time in the trees along the side of our house.


The sunrise was just so pink and pretty and then the birds with their dark silhouettes....I couldn't resist trying to get a photo or two or three. If you click to enlarge and look closely, you will see several bird sitting on branches.


All of the photos above were taken within minutes of each other and you can see the sky and the light changed so fast.

Here is my son's tree silhouette of the walnut tree in our backyard.

I always think of his sketching as sort of gesture drawing. He has such a unique style all to himself.

Great study this week.
