Just a tree in the grounds of one of the colleges. What can I say, I was struggling to find something to shoot today.

Don't you just love nature!
This little sapling has taken root in a small crack in the rock. How it gathers enough nutrients to eke out a life defies me. The canopy above is thick and dense with very little sunlight filtering through yet it still manages to catch a rare brief ray of warmth and life. Of all the trees I admire on my travels around the Highlands I really hope this little guy makes it.
Initially I uploaded this in mono. I had mono in mind before taking it so naturally went straight to Silver Efex to process. I've since done the colour and actually prefer it. The colour makes better use of the limited light breaking through the canopy above allowing the little sapling to shine more.

Scene found and taken for Saturday Self Challenge ---
Horticultre / Botanicals in Black & White only !!
With the task in mind for the challenge my daughter spotted this little corner by a fence and straight away said to get a shot for SSC -- and here we are , as simple as that !!
This is just a very small plot on somebodies front garden which folk have to drive past to get into their road , so it is seen by quite a few passing cars and pedestrians - the message on the disc says it all .
I did try an alternative shot of a couple of very spiky spines highlighted by natural sunlight - see photo in the first comment box .
As it happens , I took a shot of this corner last Sunday and wrote it up already to post , however , Thursday I was looking at the shot and decided to start again and I am glad I did . The detail is much improved over the first shot and there is a better spread of the weeds -- oops , I mean flowers in the right place !
Well who is up for a return to the Hippy Days when some flowers in your hair was a requirement ----------
Surviving sapling after 2015 flooding on Town Creek. Volunteers planted this tree in the winter of 2014/15 resulting in a successful planting. Cypress sampling shows why the trees are the dominant plant on riparian zones of Central Texas streams. Their root systems which grow vigorously in winter provide good anchorage for spring floods.

Saplings ICM - Intentional Camera Movement.
Very small movements of the camera and a long lens.
You don't get bored but you do get funny looks from walkers having your camera mounted on a tripod and yet shaking it at the trees.
In the midst of winter, a sapling thrives. It enjoys the protection of a net around it, which creates the grid shapes in this shot. It is delicate, droplet-kissed, and miraculous.
Oaklings
Oak saplings among the bluebells at Kinclaven. There will be more bluebells here – but if you want to see them up close, you’ll need to hurry.
