We are similar in this area? Lots of live oaks and various evergreens so only some trees go bare. It's not as nice as the summer when everything is green (except this summer when the grass is all brown from lack of rain).

I remember when I lived in Japan where we had plenty of snow in the winter. I remember deciduous forests being beautiful. Snow covered parts of the trees, and the parts that weren't covered because they were wet would usually be very dark. There were also evergreen conifers.

I don't have a photo of one particular spot that I used to find really beautiful, but this is a similar look.
