Keeping trees warm . . . by jyokota

Keeping trees warm . . .

Museums are closed on Mondays, we found out . . . but the nature area surrounding them have possibilities for photography. What caught my eye initially is that the trees have little wraps of straw around them, to keep them "warm" in the winter cold. It makes me smile, because how can such a little wrap keep the tree warm? It's symbolic, though, and a testament of fondness for your trees.
Beautiful capture. Lovely nature.

Lovely composition. I want to wander down that path with you.

That is so lovely - now I feel our trees are neglected!! Super shot!

Like the leading line created by the stairs. And the almost monochrome color.

Very pretty scene. Love the winding path.

Pretty movement and tones in this. Love the notion of someone putting wraps on these trees. Like leg warmers :-)

Such lovely composition and a peaceful scene. Thank you for the explanation of the tree wraps.

I thought I'd followed you back when we talked about doing a meetup, obviously I goofed up but I'm following now!

@anazad511 @judis -- thanks, and yes, that path is inviting, isn't it?
@tishpics -- you should see the other ways in which trees are nurtured, both here in Korea as well as in Japan -- and probably other countries!
@taffy @pflaume -- I agree, the lines of the path and the lines of the trees contrast nicely, too.
@roadshow -- so funny! I'll never be able to look at those tree wraps again without thinking of leg warmers! @lynnb -- or of hugs!
@vankrey -- yes, familiarity to us! But when I first read your comment, on the heels of you wondering about the "new Junko" with all the industrial-ness of Germany, I read your comment on familiarity as "the familiar side of Junko" as well!
@anwan -- thanks for reading all my explanations! And I thought I'd followed you, too, but I've corrected that now.
