Conifers and deciduous trees make a lovely winter view, especially when skies are blue.

Winter Cherry

At Parc André-Citröen, Paris on 30 Dec 2019: Distinctly bi-coloured winter cherry. Delicate pink and white blossoms. I was quite surprised to see a cherry tree in full bloom in winter so, I googled at home what could be its botanical name and I found this: Prunus x subhirtella “Autumnalis Rosea”.

At 16th Arrondisement, Paris on 29 Dec 2019: These trees (all three in front as well as those behind) have every single branch pruned. I thought it’s quite interesting as I’ve never seen something like this before.

The view from where our class was pruning a hedge of Carpinus betulus (common hornbeam) today.
