I have always loved low sunlight against a dark sky. This cloudy sky lacked a little darkness but toned beautifully with the golden rays catching on the branches. It is one of those shots I debated about posting because I suspect it will not have the same impact for someone who wasn't there.

A real treat to stop - and look up into these beautiful boughs now decked with spring greens. Even better if it had all its branches, but this will do fine !
I hope you enjoy looking up into its lovely canopy too. Magnified is nice - just click and click again.
Taken in our local park, and edited in PicMonkey, Topaz Studio and some dodging and burning.
Thanks to you all, who take the time to view this. It's truly appreciated - thank you and I hope you're able to enjoy your life during this disturbing time.
This shot was taken right outside of where I work. I saw the scene from the road on my way home and slowed down to take the farmers road to get a couple of photos of the sunset through the yellow leaves. So glad I slowed down, there was a speed trap set up right before the turn off. The cables from the camera led right behind the trees. There was a polizei (police) van directly to the right of this photo. They probably thought I was just a smart ass messing with their heads.
TREES
What trees try to say
in their slow silence, their vague murmuring,
the sense they have, there where they are,
the reverence, the resonance, the transparency
and the bright and shadowy accents of an airy phrase.
And the shade and the leaves are the innocence of an idea
that between water and space turned itself to lithe integrity.
Beneath the magic breath of the light they are transparent boats.
I don’t know if it’s air or blood budding from their boughs.
I hear the finest foam of their green throats.
I am not, never will be, far from that pure water
and those ancient lamps of hidden isles.
What pure serenity of memory, what horizons
surrounding the silent well! It is a song in sleep
and the wind and light are the breath of a child
who upon a bough of a tree embraces the world.

I went out searching for thunderstorms that were supposed to be sweeping in across the area, but instead I found this incredible little valley. Clouds hanging low in the sky, fog rolling between the trees, the moody scene so to speak, and even in summer when the haze is thick I saw the drama, the promise that stretched out in front of me. I setup, and began adjusting, moving the camera back and forth. The area to shoot was narrow, but handy. I thought about zooming past the evergreens and focusing solely on the valley, but then I thought better of it. Using them as a framing device, letting them give a sense of depth to the scene without distracting overmuch from it. Then the wait was on, between gusts of wind, and the occasional rain rolling through, eventually I began seeing a scene worthy of showing off to my viewers.

I met quite a few people up here, unlike the parkway everyone seemed to want to chat. Nice change of pace.

The summer-flower has run to seed,
And yellow is the woodland bough;
And every leaf of bush and weed
Is tipt with autumn’s pencil now.
And I do love the varied hue,
And I do love the browning plain;
And I do love each scene to view,
That’s mark’d with beauties of her reign.

Snow in North Carolina can be a rare thing these days, substantial snow fall even more so. This was originally captured in November of 2020 just inside the Great Smokey Mountains park in Cherokee, the roads were slushy, but not awful, the overcast brought the glare down, even at 10am that morning when I managed to capture this image. I had originally tried to get into Cataloochee, but there was no access, the long gravel road into the valley too treacherous. So I began working on finding something new, something substantial. This image seemed to call to me once I arrived, I of course had originally shown up for the elk, but this image pulled me in. Somehow it’s sat on my drive untouched all this time, waiting patiently for the day I remember.
