No Snow Yet in the Orchards

After bright fall leaves depart,

the orchards' color comes from the bark,

deep red in the case of cherry trees.

Background yellow comes

from willows along the creek.

The flock high in the tree could be brought closer with a long lens, but cropping from the zoomed shot, while adequate for viewing on camera or on screen, would not give good resolution in prints.
