This is the one year anniversary of my original tree cozy shot. Since the original was so successful (12,000+ views!) I figured I would milk the sculpture for all it's worth ;) The yarn seems to be holding up very well given the elements in Cleveland.

See the original for a description of this commissioned art work.

Took the 200mm out and the f2.8 to play with the dogwood tree not far there in the neighborhood ... with the setting sunlight.

I went backpacking with a friend over Memorial Day in the Hetch Hetchy area which is close to Yosemite. Rather than sitting in traffic Monday, I stayed an extra night and explored Yosemite for the first time. It's quite a place. I can see what it's so popular w/ photographers -- there's a grand view almost anywhere you look.

It was overcast most of the time I was there, so I focused on trees. Large

This tree has seen many cold winters...

Sometimes I take the most dull and boring images. That's when I ask myself, "OK, what can I do with this? Can I elevate it? Can I learn something from it? It's a throwaway, so I might as well explore." Then, I open my software and play. Sometimes I delete the image after I've sliced and diced it, but other times I feel happy with the result, like now, with these trees. They are no longer mundane. I've brought something out from them, or put something in.

Trees charred by past wildfires cover the hillsides in many places in Yellowstone National Park.

Lonesome tree under grey sky

The fog and trees were so beautiful - I had to get a shot even though we were going 65mph.

Back to some textured shots :-)

Appalachian Trail, south end of Schaghticoke Ridge.

This is further up a small stream I photograph ice on on the south end of Schaghticoke Ridge.

Some ripples made a nice distortion in this reflection of trees on the other side of the stream. The few floating leaves, preserved under ice since last fall and dislodged in the thaw made it even better.

Shooting directly into the sun (hidden behind the trees) at the precipise walk near Dolgellau. Beautiful frosty morning.

I try to photograph this tree and its roots any time I walk through this valley.

It is just so unique as the roots climb up the steep hillside.
