Bare branches, snow, and sometimes blue sky –
things that usually only come together in winter.
Views that are hidden behind summer leaves are revealed in winter’s barrenness.
Trees take on a different character when they have no leaves
and they cast a different shadow.
Toronto is a city of trees. They are everywhere, and a surprising number of them are large, mature trees.
When we think of trees we usually think of shade on a hot day, or maybe the joy that spring buds bring, or maybe the rustle of fallen leaves in the autumn. The winter tree is often overlooked but they too add to the character of this city.
