Anthotype of a tree. This image was made starting from a elderberry juice emulsion and a digital print on transparent film. 5 days under the mediterranean summer sun for develop!
My corner of the family Christmas tree. Beatrix Potter's Tom Kitten, Batman, and my favoritest ornament ever, the fairy with the poofy hair. She doesn't hang from the tree; she's got wire bendy limbs and just sites on a branch. She makes me happy.
She's falling apart, and I'm desperately looking to find a replacement for her.
Beech trees cover the western hills of Caesar Creek. Their grey bark stands out. The beech are among the last trees to lose their leaves.
I really love trees , I liked the way the light was hitting the trunk and limbs...Taken early spring before the leaves emerged.
Originally posted a multiple exposure version of this but have since gone off it. Instead here is a single shot version that I prefer.
Another one from Black Hawk Park.
Headed for yet another record day tomorrow. Forecast is for the mid 80's! That's nearly 30 degrees above normal!
A woodland in full color is awesome as a forest fire, in magnitude at least, but a single tree is like a dancing tongue of flame to warm the heart. ~ Hal Borland
The trees are quite beautiful at twilight in today's light snow.
Our Daily Challenge: Hidden In The Darkness
Wetlands Tree, Fog. San Joaquin Valley, California. February 15, 2016. © Copyright 2016 G Dan Mitchell - all rights reserved.
A tree and brush reflected in still water of a fog-shrouded wetland pond
These are my favorite days in California' Great Central Valley, the winter days when the tule fog forms and covers the landscape, making almost everything seem mysterious. On days when most sane people avoid driving in this fog, I head this direction hoping I'll find it. In certain areas, even when it is clear almost everywhere else, the fog can form above the winter wetlands and quickly drop visibility to near zero. (One of the strangest but characteristic experiences is driving slowly through pre-dawn darkness and fog so thick that you can barely see more than feet in front of you, yet being able to look straight up through the shallow fog layer to see the moon and stars overhead.)
It was tremendously foggy on the February morning. Arriving at this refuge we could hear thousands of geese and cranes off in the invisible distance in almost all directions, but we could not see a single bird. Eventually, on a perimeter road circling the wetlands, I came across this spot were a few trees stand in the shallow, still water. The fog hides distant elements of the landscape or at least mutes them, giving prominence to closer features that might otherwise be lost in background detail. The central tree, visually muted even though it is barely fifty feet from my camera position, curves above the reflecting water and its skeletal form stands out from the nearly invisible background plants and water that are almost invisible in the fog.

On the east side of Glacier by the Blackfeet Indian Reservation there is a huge grove of windswept trees like the ones pictured. After a short hike, you will run into tree after tree, each gnarlier than the last. It was quite the experience. The grove is located on a little plateau overlooking some of Glacier's mountains and you can feel the wind up there that shaped these trees. I visited twice, the second time I wanted to shoot the full moon and was there around 4-5am. Winds were howling and a cold front had came through that night leaving temps in the 20s. I had two down jackets on and probably looked like I was about to climb Everest. The wind is relentless though even on a calm day. This shot was from my first hike up to the trees and it was 'calm', AKA 30mph winds. This was the morning after the lenticular and the light was off the hook again. Actually got lucky, if the sun would have rose about an hour later, sunrise would have just been bland and gray with overcast skies. This was no doubt, one of the best sunrises I have ever seen. Yet, it was the quickest as well. There was some beautiful pre-dawn light, but the real show was when the sky lit up like you see here. 30 seconds later is was gone and there was snow in the air.
If you have to evacuate from a hurricane, fleeing to a place this beautiful and peaceful makes it much better. Pulling up in the driveway and stepping out of the car, this is what you see. Rolling hills and trees and a lot of rich, lush grass with a stream running through the property made for a real feeling of sanctuary for me! I will be forever grateful to the Keiths for opening up their beautiful home and giving me a safe place to wait out the storm.
Two weeks ago, I sat watching the TV as the Weather Channel gave a moment by moment review of what was happening back home in the Daytona area. I called my brother, who still miraculously had cell phone service, and he said it had been howling out, but was quiet at that moment. He stayed in the hall during the worst of it, praying I'm sure. After all was said and done, we had only a little water seepage under the doors, which he was able to clean up quickly.
For me, the worst of the hurricanes are usually the after effects. Normally we are out of power for over a week. It is super hot and humid, and I can't take the heat anymore, so I delayed the return until Wednesday. There was so much traffic that it seemed pointless to try to return sooner, anyway. When I got in, it was like diving into a bowl of pea soup, but the intense heat was only for one night. Florida Power & Light managed to restore service on Thursday, so we had only been without power for 3 1/2 days. That is a record! This time they were prepared, thanks to thousands of first responders who came in from other states to be in position to help even before the storm hit.
It seems like a long time ago, even though it's only been a couple of weeks. So much has happened, and another couple of major hurricanes have skirted the coast and turned away from us in the meantime. For peace and safety, and comfort I would not have had in my own home, I am grateful for this time in Tennessee and to the people who made that possible.
Fall, Maple, tree, leaves, trunk, fall colors. I particularly like that the rich colors actually glow on the tree trunks.
