This was one of the weirdest trees I've ever seen. The limbs remind me of a dancer with his arms stretched toward the sky.

The blooming season this year is 2 weeks late.

This tree and sapling are glowing in the light of dusk.

Part way through its 'trim', our yew tree looks to have had a severe fright!

Eucalyptus is a diverse genus of flowering trees (and a few shrubs) in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae. Members of the genus dominate the tree flora of Australia. There are more than 700 species of Eucalyptus, mostly native to Australia, and a very small number are found in adjacent areas of New Guinea and Indonesia and one as far north as the Philippine archipelago and Taiwan. Only 15 species occur outside Australia, and only 9 do not occur in Australia

Earth teach me to forget myself as melted snow forgets its life.

Earth teach me resignation as the leaves which die in the fall.

Earth teach me courage as the tree which stands all alone.

Earth teach me regeneration as the seed which rises in the spring.

This is at Iseli Nursery in Boring, Oregon. They are a specialty nursery that grows unique tree and shrub species. They have a very impressive dispay garden.

I have to interrupt my 'Romsey Show' series, as I needed tree shots for two competitions.

For the CC competition, it had to be a landscape focused on a tree, with minimal processing.

For the ARAF competition it had to be a tree or trees in mono. (I have not quite decided which of the three shots I will enter.)
