"I'm not sure you really know a tree until you've seen it
without its leaves. Naked, so to speak.
They are often at their most peaceful and romantic in winter,
like watching a loved one sleep."

— Nigel Slater, The Christmas Chronicles
Mark snapped this gorgeous little scene a few years ago at the Chicago Botanic Garden. We were there for a winter lecture by famed English garden designer Dan Pearson.
