This looks a bit more like fall than winter and the temperatures were more like spring today. The beech leaves usually hang on all winter and provide a bit of color in the otherwise grey and brown landscape. SOOC. The Pond in Winter in my main album: http://365project.org/falcon11/365
I don't think I've seen any beech down here - only ones that keep their leaves here are some of the oaks. Get to rake them in April! Nice lighting to show the different tones and details in the leaves.
