Cotton (or Cottonwood) trees grow really well in coastal locations around Queensland. Perhaps they have different varieties but generally have very thick, textured and gnarled trunks which form a haven for kids to play in and climb upon. Generally we just call the Cotton Trees and there is even a beachside location on the Sunshine Coast named after them. They have very pretty pale yellow flowers with a dark centre often tinged with maroon and black.
This lot seem to have developed a bit differently in the sand of the Brisbane River at south side Colmslie Reserve. They form a rather tangled arch, no doubt still fun to chase your friends in. Here's a link to explain all about them.

how quickly it can all change
it’s like being tangled in roots
only to be freed for a little bit of air
and then it sucks you back in
with only one breath
This particular pond that the Blue Heron frequents has a lot of Water Lily plants that suddenly burst into growth mode as the temperature warms up. In one such instance, this Heron got more than what he bargained for; as he dove his beak into water in order to catch a fish he got tangled up in the weed. At the end he managed to free himself up and went to sit on a floating log to nurse his ego. Richmond Hill, Ontario
The tangle of tree trunks and branches and the shadows interplay on a lovely day's hike on the Bruce Trail.

3 Exposures taken weeks apart, two in the woods and one of bubbles in the stream at Lumsdale. Can you spot the bubbles?

OK, so this is never going to compete with images from those Capability Brown type manicured woods found down south :) Nevertheless, quite happy with the composition, given the surroundings. Kind of like un-tangling knots from an acre sized ball of string!! Shot at 200mm wide open to try and dampen down the background a little.
At the start of August I'll have the possibility to visit the Speulderbos in the Netherlands. Have any of the Dutch on here been there? Are there certain areas in the forest that are more interesting than others?

The beech is not such a common sight in Norway... Larvik has Norway's biggest and the world's northernmost public beech forest. Most of the beech trees there are almost perfect straight lines upwards. Luckily I found this one with a nice buckle in it and interesting tangled roots. The little creek next to it ate away a lot of the soil, giving me the possibility for this lower angle.

Higher than normal run-off create a more interesting image than the lower, later season water levels.......

A redux of a picture I posted last August (added a border and sharpened a tiny bit). This one has always been one of my personal favoites :).
