A view looking to the northeast while walking along the Cedar Sink Trail. Because of the trees and other plant life growth, the depression in the land with the sinkhole is not that apparent.
and a couple hugging under the tree... seems magical, no? :)

A Tree
The world a blur to most
Most see a tree as a tree
The day you actually see
When the world is not the same world
A tree is no longer a tree
A tree is something that bears fruit
A tree is something beautiful
Even in the harshest winds
A tree stands its ground
A tree with leaves of majestic green
No longer just a tree
But a tree that is a work of art
That is the day you see the world
That is the day the world comes into focus
That is the day you truly see the tree
Laura Green
We were in a bit of a hurry, doing a downtown walking loop, so I didn't have time to really compose this one on scene. PS helped a bit...
We had just walked through a dark forest path, turned a corner and saw this beautiful tree basking in the sunlight.
A solitary tree on a crest of a hill in the Yorkshire Wolds. The title taken from the Poem “The Trees” by Philip Larkin published in his last volume of verse “High Windows” published in 1974
The trees are coming into leaf
Like something almost being said;
The recent buds relax and spread,
Their greenness is a kind of grief.
Is it that they are born again
And we grow old? No, they die too,
Their yearly trick of looking new
Is written down in rings of grain.
Yet still the unresting castles thresh
In fullgrown thickness every May.
Last year is dead, they seem to say,
Begin afresh, afresh, afresh.

This is an old picture that I found. I intended to post it a long time ago but never got around to it. It is a little stream out in the country (the middle of nowhere Kansas actually) that I drove by and turned around and went back to look again. The only thing I did to this was crop it. I hope you enjoy it.
Scenes like this are scattered around the countryside of Oman. I didn't hear the term oasis used as these areas are not really an area to escape a desert, but an orchard to grow dates. Dates are one of Oman's major exports, along with fish, oil and copper.
Dates are also part of the ritual of welcoming a guest. They, along with Omani coffee, are usually offered as a form of hospitality. This is a custom that has been part of the Omani culture for centuries.

This is a re-working of an image I uploaded awhile back, only it was in color. I really prefer this b&w one way better. Those of you who have me on facebook or follow me on 500px ( 500px.com/Derphoto ) may have already seen this. It's a pretty simple shot I know, but I think it's turned out to be one of my new favorites.
Looks good viewed large. www.flickr.com/photos/48230692@N05/7871613664/sizes/l/in/...

Thanks for looking. Cheers everyone!
Joshua Tree National Park is located in southeastern California. It had previously been a U.S. National Monument since 1936.
It is named for the Joshua tree (Yucca brevifolia) forests native to the park. It covers a land area of 789,745 acres or 1,234 square miles.
Straddling the San Bernardino County/Riverside County border, the park includes parts of two deserts, each an ecosystem whose characteristics are determined primarily by elevation: the higher Mojave Desert and lower Colorado Desert. The Little San Bernardino Mountains run through the southwest edge of the park.
