It is cloudy this afternoon, but the day started with a splash of color. I was in the middle of my cereal when I looked out the window, saw the sky, and dashed out to take a couple shots. I have had this haiku written a couple of weeks and have been waiting to get a good shot of the tree.

People around here don’t seem to like choke cherry trees very much, but I do. Besides providing food for the birds in the summer and some airy flowers, they look wonderful under the snow, and wearing nothing at all!
