Staff photos from the editorial files of The Newtown Bee.
In midwinter, white birches unfurl curlicues of papery bark, feathering their edges into the white surroundings. In a storm, they are like ghosts waving hankies, bidding adieu to the world’s solidity. They would be invisible but for the scars of knots and fissures that stand out on their bark like the black caps of chickadees, who normally grace their thin branches but have taken refuge from the storm in hedges and hemlocks.
