The stark beauty of a foggy winter’s day

For most of the last week, winter has cast a foggy, rainy spell over our part of the Arkansas Ouachitas. This is how nature makes her own monochromes.

The fog-shrouded silhouettes of pines, oaks and hickories describe the angle of descent to the south valley.

 

Bared of its leaves, except for a few tatters, this blackjack oak looks almost prickly.
