These foolish little maple buds decided to wake up after we had a few unusually high temperatures. but were they ever fooled, as winter isn't about to give up on it's tight grip and they got coated in ice and "Nipped in the Bud!"

Well seen and well captured with the buds coated in ice taking on a bird-like quality for me (especially with the thumbnail of the posted image).

It looks like an xray view of a bird with it's undigested stomach contents. I like the fading branch and excellent capture.
