I went for a walk the other day to clear my head from the dross left inside it by all the writerly stuff I’ve been doing lately. Not complaining, mind you, but I think I’ve written more this year than I did for the whole of 2017.
As I ambled along the road I spied another consequence of our destructive December ice storm, this time a formerly stately five meter high hedge had paid the price.
These venerable trees now looked as though they had thrown their dignity into the ethers and taken on new identities as jester hats.
No more conformity for us!
An uncanny resemblance …
Poor trees. They do look a little wonky.

‘Wonky’ is a great word for them. 😀

I wonder if they’ll pop back up when the weather gets better.

We’ll see when Spring finally sticks around for more than a few hours at a time and all the saps starts rising. 🙂 … although they do have a kind of rakish charm to them, but the property owner is probably not as impressed as I am. 🙂

The heavy snow is hard on the evergreens.

Particularly when it’s accompanied by an ice storm, the wee things are lucky they were so bendy. 🙂

Many large trees around here have lost very large branches.

They do like they’re on the ‘morning after a wild party’ side of things don’t they? 😀

I would hope that they will perk up

I hope they get a chance to get themselves organised, and the property owner doesn’t do it for them. 🙂

They don’t really look like trees anymore. You must have been getting some really wild weather.

That is some hedge! I wish they wouldn’t bounce back. This way, they would be the most original hedge in Canada.

I’d like to see them get all twisty and into strange shapes as they start growing, whenever spring decides to stick around for long enough. 😀

I hope they recover. They do look rather downtrodden.

They’re actually quite bend-y and hopefully when their sap starts a’rising they’ll figure out which way is ‘up’. 🙂

That poor hedge does look rather like a jester’s hat. Maybe it’ll lift its head later.

Hi there, Kalpanaa … welcome to my little bit of the blog-O-Sphere. 🙂 … if spring ever gets here I think they’ll start growing upwards again, albeit with a kink or two. 🙂
