Ornaments

“Nature gives to every time and season some beauties of its own.”
Charles Dickens 1812-1870

This tree creates its own winter ornaments.

    I think it's a plane tree (platane in French)

    It makes me think Nature is an artist... and you, photographer, are an artist as well.

      Yup, I think that's it. The American plane tree, or sycamore (P. occidentalis), also known as buttonwood, buttonball, or whitewood.
      Thanks!
