Day 4

I think I'm addicted to leaf-less trees. (sigh) They're just so gorgeous sillouetted against the sky be it a sunrise, sunset, midday...anytime. This was taken at work about 11am while looking out our side window. I loved the cloud formation behind the tree AND I was able to use our offices Nikon D70. ;)
