Another one from today :)

Trees (Mohican State Park, Loudonville, Ohio)

Japanese Maple, Acer palmatum

"A-ah!" - it what I said when I saw this gorgeous big tree in a private property near Lismore, NSW, Australia.

I had to sneak to the property to take just one shot, what is not very good, so I had to tweak it a bit in the photoshop.

Having to say we came there a year ago for a funeral, I thought about this tree: "what a celebration of life!"

Spathodea campanulata, - Спатодея колокольчатая - Тюльпанное дерево

Bignoniaceae

I've said before and I'll say it again I really do love trees. This little tree in the Japanese garden at Lithia Park in Ashland was really cool. Kind of a large Bonsai. The trunk was about 3 to 4 feet tall and of course the yellow from the seasonal change was magnificent.

Backlit Oak Tree

Campsite in Denmark, WA (I think)

There is unrest in the forest

There is trouble with the trees

For the maples want more sunlight

And the oaks ignore their pleas

The trouble with the maples

(and theyre quite convinced theyre right)

They say the oaks are just too lofty

And they grab up all the light

But the oaks cant help their feelings

If they like the way theyre made

And they wonder why the maples

Cant be happy in their shade?

There is trouble in the forest

And the creatures all have fled

As the maples scream `oppression!`

And the oaks, just shake their heads

So the maples formed a union

And demanded equal rights

the oaks are just too greedy

We will make them give us light

Now theres no more oak oppression

For they passed a noble law

And the trees are all kept equal

By hatchet,

Axe,

And saw ...

Bush's Pasture Park

Salem, Oregon

Under the ginkgo trees near Meiji Shrine. For several years I have been trying to capture the color at its peak but have always been too early. On this last visit, we went back 3 times from early to mid November and it still wasn't quite ready. So rather than focus on the color, I tried to document some of the people who were there for the same reason.

Hollow tree in the forest in Ruissalo island, Turku, Finland. Finally the spring is about to start...

Fusion exposure composition create from 3 different photos taken with different exposures.

not sure what fruit this is, probably some sort of crabapple, but it is very colorful

Merry Christmas

Later in the evening. The sun has set further, revealing more stars, but also revealing more light pollution from cities west of Joshua Tree.

Its taken me ages to settle on a new design but at last I have it!

Orange tree in one of Alhambra's gardens in Granada, Spain

Taken at panther falls in Amherst County, Virginia on a back road in the Blue Ridge Mountains…

Landing on the nest. She's quite vocal, demanding even! When the male came in with a large trout (see previous uploads) she flew to the nest and reminded him noisily that she expected a good share of the catch. She's territorial and hangs about either on the nest conifer tree or the dead tree next to it.

I've not made anything this size for a long time...I'm usually working pretty small! :D This was made for an awesome Craftster swap!

This tree looked like the yarn Kelly bought called "spicy papaya"

Set - Fruit & flower shots from Greece. If my ID's are incorrect please do not hesitate to let me know - thank you.

The first real Winter visit to the old tree this season. A few degrees below zero and a bit windy.
