Trees make me happy!

A favorite subject of mine, leaves. I found on this photo three things that we photographers really look on a photo, Color, Light and Bokeh...

My photography is mostly nature. I enjoy macro photography a lot, but it is difficult to decide what a I like the most about this art.

This Yellow Warbler is taking a rest in a Plum tree in the park on a foggy April Saturday morning...Warblers are migrating now and after a couple of weeks won't migrate back till August...

In Hermon, Me.

This photo was taken in the fall of 2015. I was on a hiking trail outside Smiths Falls, Ontario Canada.

I'm not a huge fan of palm trees but sometimes they make nice scenes.

Taken in Santa Barbara, California.

This shot of this fine looking old tree against this nice cloudscape would make a good conversion to B&W, I thought.

No children, no work... just me, a camera and 26 square miles of outstanding natural beauty.

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 ...

"The trees" by Rush, one of my all time faves.

Large oak trees can be found along certain sections of the Pondhawk Natural Area hiking trail.
