Wordless Wednesday...what is it?
***Thank you one and all for your excellent guesses. Many of you got very, very close. This is a photo, taken from a distance and cropped like crazy, of the sun shining through the dry winter branches, of a bunch of small box elder (acer negundo) trees. The shiny, flashy things are leftover seeds, called samaras..they are paired and winged a bit like silver maple seeds. I liked the way the setting sun was shining through them in an otherwise completely gloomy atmosphere one dark day last week. Thanks for taking time to have a go at the puzzle and have a great day.

OK... this is my guess... trees, glazed in ice or snow in the pre dawn or at sunset... maybe
Is it garnet?
if it was my neighborhood, it'd guess cherry blossoms buds in the sunrise after a moist night.
But So.Calif. high desert is so differentfrm NY?? or is it? E>)
Trees!
I don't know what it is, but it's cool looking.
Vines of some kind?
It's a flow chart of how the Dims forced the "Health Care Reform" and tax us and gouge us legislation up the American peoples arse.
Definitely a stand of brush with some sunlight coming through...last year's leaves?
XOXO

Somewhere I don't have to fight through to get to the treasure.
Oh, I do like AKA Angrywhiteman's answer for a chuckle.
Just because of the total lack of color, I'd bet it is a moonlight shot of some sort shrub.
Pussy willows?
I know! I know!
Swelling buds!
Or something :0)
You got me. I have a feeling I am going to feel stupid when you tell us what it is.
It's a flowing creek sparkling in the sun, seen through tree branches.
Howzzat?
OK. OK. Do-over . . .
Is that moonlight?
a strand of black fur/hair?
