Just to be clear:  Naked Trees are Trees with No Leaves!
This is not X-rated  and is safe for children to view!!
As some of you may know, I create souvenir gift cards and prints to raise money for the bird sanctuary. The images will become the top of the card. For this reason, I like adding the digital frames and effects to my compositions which adds a finished look to my cards, in my opinion.  I hope you will check out some of the editing programs as it is fun to see what some of the buttons do! Some of the group here dabbles with the digital frames:  Jerry Robin of Canada,  Gisela Kollmann  of Germany. I think Gisela would agree with me, that Jerry Robin is tops in this area of expression. He has taught us many things.  He is my bestest friend, but we do fight like brother and sister. We are both old enough that after a few days we forget what we fought about!!!! (He has a very explosive temperament, but I still love him!!) Click on their squares to the right to visit their Gallery.
Anyway, the images below are from my Naked Tree Collection, edited in Picasa and Picnik Programs. My big trees are without leaves for only 3 months of the Year. I love the tree skeletal structures which are not in view when the leaves return. These images are all from the same sunset in January 2012 when the colors were spectacular.
 Enjoy!
