Vase of Red Maple

Oh Phil, Oh Phil, how you disappoint me...
Six more weeks of bad weather we will see..

After the ice storm, we had this not so beautiful limb across

our driveway.

It came from a red maple tree that had already begun to bud.

                         

I decided to snip a few branches

and bring them to my screened in porch where the ice would not melt for a few days.

Absolutely beautiful.  The branches looked like glass in the sunshine.

Because the temperatures have warmed,this bouquet no longer looks like glass, but it is still beautiful.
