Half Empty or Half Full?

I have seen several trees around town like this and finally got one in the camera. It fascinates me that they lose their leaves like this.

[katy]

@maggotx ;.} Thanks,Mag. Sometimes the caption is the most fun part of the process for me.

[Marilyn Wigen]

Great shot... and great caption! (Mag & I consulted on that!)

[katy]

@marilyn LOL. Glad you liked it and consulted with Mag.

[Kimberlee]

wow. this is spectacular! I love the color against the snow! and it's strange how it lost it's leaves!

[Ruth Moucharafieh]

Lovely...it's funny how sometimes you can go back over and over to the same tree or bush as seasons change...

[Peter de Graaff]

Half way? Beautiful colours and irony in pic

[katy]

@kimfaria LOL.. I love that you think that is snow. We have no snow in Alabama! I made everything but the tree B&W and what you thought was snow is a cul-de-sac. ;.}

@ruthmouch Funny you should say that because I did use this tree for another shot, an artist's competition a while back and I have thought about doing that with a tree I shot with lots of fall color. Thanks, Ruth, for your nice words.

@peterdegraaff ;.}Peter, I love your appreciation for the unusual. Your comments mirrored my own thoughts precisely. Thanks.

[Debbie Orlando]

Nice capture! I'm sayiing half empty on this one...maybe 2/3 empty. Funny how the leaves stayed on the bottom.

[katy]

@debsphotos Thanks, Debbie.I'd have to agree since the process is LOSING leaves! ;.} There are trees like this all over town and I think they are all the same kind but I don't know what kind it is.

[Brenda]

Cool shot!

[Brenda]

And -btw -My guess would be "half fall!' (Get it?! Half FALL! Bwahahahaa!) :)

[john adlington]

Nice colours. Looks cold.

[katy]

@thesandbox5 Thanks, So much Brenda and LOL that would have been a great other caption for this shot!!;.}

[katy]

@tobbs Thanks,John. Actually it was about 70F so .......not cold! Apparently the SC made it look that way.

[W.MARK HATCH]

Wow, love it!

[katy]

I appreciate it, Mark. Thanks

[Clare Figgins]

Totally full! I love the B&W background, makes it look like the tree is on fire! Yet not burning! V.biblical! So v.full. awesome capture and edit

[katy]

@clarefigo Thanks so much for posting again, Clare! ;.} When I went to reply to your wonderful comment I hit delete by mistake! I am so grateful for your kind words!
