1.   A mist was already descending and clung to the bare branches of the trees.

2.   She hopped clear and opened her wings and in one sudden jump was up on the bare branch.

3.   Surely those green leaves are hiding bare branches.

4.   The few unpicked apples that bobbed and swayed on the bare top branches were all shrivelled up.

5.   The outermost limits came first - the sky, with a pale shine of overcast through the bare branches of the trees.

6.   When the winter wind whistled through the bare branches, the fragrance of this spicy cake was comforting.

7.   The winter sun reached through the bare branches of the limes, making bars of startling light and shade that flickered in the carriage like a pyrotechnic display.

8.   Bare branches, winter-stripped against the fading sky.

9.   The wind passed over them and rustled the bare branches of the trees and they still stood.
