Horse Chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum) Bonsai Tree Covered in Snow

Horse Chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum) bonsai tree covered in over a foot of snow.
It has been grown from a seed (conker) planted in 1996 and has been potted into a huge garden pot to stimulate growth and to thicken the trunk. You can see new buds which are ready to sprout next spring.
The tree is dormant and hopefully the freezing weather should do it no harm.
The tree is 14 years old.
Photo taken in Darfield, Barnsley on 1 Dec 2010.

Camera: Nikon D300
Lens: Nikon AF-S Nikkor 50mm f/1.4G

I use my photos as inspiration for my paintings which can be seen at:
