Windswept Trees.

Normally these trees stand tall and erect with just a little swaying in the breeze now and again. Today, however, the branches were almost bent double by the strong gusts of wind. I stayed at home today with my daughter's dog while she was out and took him for a walk earlier before the high winds arrived. As I have an irritating cough which kept me awake last night, I decided I'd be best indoors by the fire !
