It's been a winter without snow here in New Jersey. Therefore, I get to focus much more closely on the brush and stone, moss and lichen. The colors, although a bit more subtle than spring and summer blooms, are vibrant just the same. When I traipse through the winter woodland I never feel alone. Somehow eyes peek out at me and spy with a curious countenance. The expressions are priceless and lest anyone think that I am losing it (like my brother) - see for yourself.

| I like this happy guy. A sweet bark face. |

| This one looks a little confused - I can relate. |
 |
| I always smile back. |

| You lookin' at me? |
