Iconic tree found all over Martha's Vineyard, here overlooking the waters off Menemsha.
Way back when, "The Vineyard" was a popular summer retreat for people in Boston and a few from NYC: even my friends in Connecticut (the neighboring state, two hours by car) hadn't heard of it. That all changed in the early 1990's when then-President Clinton went to visit. Since then everyone has heard of it and now you have to make ferry reservations months in advance (we used to just drive down and drive on!). Now license plates from New Mexico and Canada are not uncommon, and the island has slowly been made "cute." However, the same slow pace reigns: there are still no traffic lights on the island, and there is very little to do aside from going to the beach and shopping for odds and ends. A nice break from frantic urban lifestyles...!
SOOC. I discovered this tree over the summer and my first thought was...
"The Whomping Willow exists!"
Except this one doesn't move :P
Sorrow is knowledge, those that know the most must mourn the deepest, the tree of knowledge is not the tree of life.

I went for a quick dog walk early on Sunday morning around Biddulph Grange with Darcy. I grabbed my camera but left my wide angle lens and tripod at home. But as I walked up a path called the Himalayan Walk up the stream there were little splashes of sunlight landing on the ground and the water. This one caught my eye...a patch of light on a tree trunk. Amongst the darkness it shone out as a beacon for all that is so wonderful in the world. Just to see it was so uplifting, and with the spring morning birdsong I could have believed I was in the Garden of Eden.
The perfect reflection from McCarstons Lake of the early fall colour. Out for an early morning walk to enjoy the start of the fall colours in Southern Ontario. Mono Cliffs Provincial Park.

A tree skeleton still reaches for the sky at Mesquite Flats Sand Dunes. It is lit by lights from cars leaving a nearby parking lot.
We are leaving tomorrow to travel down I-5 through Washington, Oregon and California, then west to Death Valley. We are hoping for a break in the rain storms while we travel. It will be exciting to be back in Death Valley again.
Happy Tree-mendous Tuesday!

The other evening we went for a short visit to Elk Island NP. It is too bad that night falls so early this time of year, because we lose light so fast. There is, simply, not enough time to capture the fall colors during a working week. By the time we get anywhere we have 30 min of light left. And, since foliage does not stay on the trees for too long around here we try to get out every chance we get. Here is a few shots of trees I took during that outing. It is so cool being surrounded by them during blue hour right now, because all that yellow just glows.

My favorite tree at Lee Metcalf National Wildlife Refuge in the Bitterroot Valley, western Montana. On this morning, a hawk is perched in the tree scanning the fields for breakfast.
