Stone Cold Witch

branch of the day

I've been taking pictures of branches with my phone

and posting them online since 2014.

Some years, I do this every weekday.

Some years, I take long breaks between branches.

I share some of my branches here.

an azalea bush with lavender flowers and a strand of glowing fairy lights covering its branches

a winter bare sweet gum tree holds its branches against a clear blue sky. crows adorn its branches instead of leaves and a steel light pole runs up next to the tree

a big leaf maple branch is upholstered with thick tufts of moss and delicate fern fronds arch out of the moss, catching pale sunlight

a branch of giant fennel holds up its umbrellas of flower buds, each with a disc of golden pollen, like floral fireworks

clusters of white cherry blossoms cover these branches that spread across the blue spring sky

A Big Leaf Maple tree's heavy branches reach down to the ground, each covered with soft moss, a sea of green leaf haze behind the mass of branches

a gnarled pale brown dessert tree leans to the right over dry rocky ground, with the green of an oasis behind it

the branch of a deciduous tree reaches down towards the still water of a small pond, almost touching its own reflection below

an old beach apple tree blooms, its soft pink flowers held out in front of the Salish Sea behind, with silver driftwood and sea grasses below

skinny twig branches run down from the sky, each holding copper-orange fall leaves

a shocking mass of golden yellow leaves cover these branches, with a steel blue fall sky behind

the reflection of a pine tree branch rests atop a small pond, seen between a lattice of bamboo branches that protect the red goldfish lurking in the pond water below the reflection
