Close on a beautiful pine tree – Pinus flexilis – at Whistling Gardens. Quite a nice compact tree with some nice colour.

Close on a young native tree in my backyard. Eastern White Pine, Pinus Strobus, is one of my favourite trees! Their soft, bright needles and winter colour is hard to beat. 🙂

If you can call the ground in the woods the Forest Floor then I think gardens are fair game for a similar moniker. A warm December view at the Civic Garden Complex.
