This is one of my favorite Cypress Tree shots. I love how so many flowers are growing around this tree’s trunk ,distant from the shore or any close neighbors. It’s interesting how four of us shot this lake for the same amount of time, saw the same trees and flowers and all had a significantly distinct vision and interpretation on how to communicate the beauty of the place in our work. I think everyone would see the beauty but making a good image out of the chaos of color and form is a challenge. Keep in mind, I’m only showing you ones I like, not the hundreds more that hit the trash heap. Unlike film, like one of my friends shoots (big expensive film up to 8 x 10), digital allows us to take as many as we like, which costs only time and not money. In my retired case, “Time is not money”. (Bald Cypress - Taxodium distichum) (Sony a1ii, 24-105 lens @ 68mm, f/6.3, 1/80 second, ISO 1600)

Trying to isolate myself in these days to be able to meet at least a few people of my family over christmas I found this lonely but beautiful swan today...

Fast moving clouds caused this atmospheric optical effect to last less than a minute. The brilliance and colors could not be adequately imaged.

A good cg lightning strike from an isolated cell.

For three hours prior to sunset, this isolated storm produced at least a tornado and 2 inch hail to my north and east. By the time sunset occurred is was approaching Sidney, Nebraska with lots of fire and numerous thunderheads. More to follow.

The trees are living literally on the edge in the most inhospitable conditions I can imagine. in this version the framing is tighter for a more minimalist and moody photo ... #etbtsy

I think this acorn is from a red oak and accidentally found its way here from USA so it sits on the mantle-piece as a curiosity. There are some red oaks in UK but they aren't a native species.
