Icy Birch


This urban birch is doubled over from ice accumulation.  Young birches like this are supple and well designed to handle the contortion.  Other trees in the area were not so fortunate, and there were many missing limbs and a few toppled trees nearby.

A few days later, when the ice had melted, it had sprung back and was standing straight without damage.
