When the leaves or needles are gone it's easy to see how graceful some tree limbs are.
Bare limbs on dead tree
This tree has already lost parts of many limbs but the ones that remain remind me of a graceful dancer.
Hanging on to a limb
I suspect this young raccoon is up tp no good. It definitely wants me to go away.
Hawk on a TV limb antenna
Could it be this hawk has mistaken this old antenna for a limb? Or is it simply addicted to reality TV?

Winter's stark beauty, when we can more fully appreciate line and form.
Beautiful photos!
I love the first photo, so desolate looking.
That first composition is magnificent, very poetic, I love the tree!And I'm delighted by the cute friend "Hanging on to a limb"!
Wonderful post EG, thanks for sharing!

Oh I love your words this morning. I also think the Hawk is my favourite. You always make me smile with your fabulous photos. B
I love leafless trees, we can see their bones.
Love the first shot of the lonesome tree and of course that little coon is a cutie!
Like the shot of the tree at the edge of the water. Winter is a great time to study the structure of a tree. So much is hidden when it gets dressed in its leaves.

Love the tree in that first shot. Great composition! The raccoon and hawk are awesome.
L is for Love the limbs on that first tree and the owl on the limb blew my mind
L is also for LOST my mind, raccoon on the tree limb not owl
a blogger pal says winter trees are 'writing on the sky'. that has stuck with me.
Great collection for 'L'.
The first photo is beautiful! I love trees in any season. The raccoon is an added bonus.
Oh that raccoon and hawk! But those bare trees are timeless for winter:)
I really love that first shot...love that the tree is placed to the side.
Love the first photo .... bare tree on a cold winter setting.
I love that first image!! it sums up winter so well!!!
Lovely pictures.The first one really got my attention.It looks cold,but has a beauty about that is attractive.
Wonderful photos! haha about the hawk, probably hooked on reality TV!
So antennaes aren't limbs? The first shot is the one I am in love with!
Cool shots. The hawk is looking for the Nature channel. ;-)
I'm going to go out on a limb and say this is a really good post for the theme. That raccoon looks very wary of you and the hawk is wondering if you would make a good dinner!
Stark beauty on the first photos and brrrr. Love the raccoon in the tree.
I love the shot of the hawk! excellently done...
What a great L word. I love looking at all the gnarled limbs on my big oak trees.
Fantastic post and photography ~ Love the trees and wildlife!
Carol of: A Creative Harbor ~ visiting from Alphabe Thurs.
That first shot is just stunning.
The single barren trees, owl, hawk also look "L"onely.
Wonderful shots! Love that last one. ;)
Look at that raccoon! Love.
Cute raccoon. I like the first shot too.
Beautiful pictures, especially the first. Your last comment had me laughing.
Thanks for pointing out how graceful tree limbs can be. I really like your photo of the raccoon. I agree he probably was up to no good.
That's a cold view of the lake, lovely tree though.
Fabulous!!
A lovely tree! You know I love to paint trees because of its limbs:)
Haha, the raccoon doesn't like to be spied on:)
I love your L post. Limbs is a perfect L word to share. My son just pointed out yesterday that our trees so need leaves. They look so bare.
great L post -- especially that first shot, which is stunning.
That first photo is incredibly tranquil, while the raccoon and hawk pictures are lively and, with your captions, hysterical!
Wonderful shots once again! You are so talented! I'm trying to learn to open my eyes to the beauty around me that I have neglected to see because of being preoccupied for too long with the busyness of life!
I guess that's what limbs are for. :)
A very diverse series of 'limb' images EG, well done, love the hawk, wonder what its fav program is haha!
Wonderful wonderful shots! Love this L post! :)
Wonderful wonderful shots! Love this L post! :)
I love to see the pure shape of a leafless tree but I also love when the light green leaves start to burst in the spring
Seems you went out on a limb for some of these shots♫♪ Nice work...my L: http://lmkazmierczak.blogspot.com/2013/02/lenten-hymn.html
Limbs are lovely!
=)
I haven't seen a racoon in years!
What a neat shot!
Love the starkness of the bare limbs against the sky!
Such a lovely link.
