The wet dawn inks are doing their blue dissolve.

On their blotter of fog the trees

Seem a botannical drawing...

Weird bulbous gnarly growths (something parasitic I'm guessing) on a tree found in Seattle's Woodland Park (northeast of the playing fields but south of Aurora Avenue and the zoo).

Some of the oldest trees in Croatia, about 450-500 years old. The family who started this arboretum in the 16th century asked local sea captains to bring back seeds from all over the world to plant in the arboretum.

Early morning at The Bradford Creek Greenway in Madison, Alabama

Incredibly, this is one of many ancient trees in the grounds of Croft Castle (NT). Try as I may, I didn't take a photograph to really do any of them justice - I will just have to go back.

Lonesome Tree

Is it dead or has it lost it's leaves for winter? I will have to go back and see. Mornington Peninsular Pier view from the cliff face nearby.

I got this shot a while back and posted up a B&W HDR version at the time.

I always intented to post up the the colour version, with a different POV and showing the wonderful golden light hitting the tree. So, eventually, here it is :-)

The old dead tree looking out over the Eden Valley on one of those misty mornings.

See where this picture was taken. [?]

This photo depicts a cypress tree I transplanted as a small sapling from the creek bed itself during my childhood. The camera position for this photo is almost identical to that for the companion posting "Winter Reflections", but here the camera is facing in the opposite direction. Today this tree is very tall and impressive, but not nearly so large as the sycamore tree in my "Winter Sycamore" postings, also depicting a tree that I planted as a child. The difference is the rate of growth--the sycamore grows much more rapidly and is much shorter-lived. The sycamore may live sixty or eighty years, while this cypress tree may still be standing in this location 1000 years from today. Can't help wondering if this posting will still be around then? Anyone venture an answer?

"A tree was excited, bowing to the roaring storm, waving, swirling, tossing its branches in glorious enthusiasm like worship. But tho', to the outer ear, this tree was now silent, its song never ceased." ~Anon

I too am appreciative of the vibration of the outer ear, but long to learn to listen better ~~~ to the silence of the inner ear...hoping to hear the song that never ceased.

This tree visually embodies for me the enthusiastic worship and song, and unless you are intent on listening, might miss it entirely!

Oh, the power of life!

Have a wonderful "song filled" weekend everyone!

Tree at Lake Wanaka. September 2007.

This tree captured me as soon as I saw it. I dont know if I did justice to the "beauty" of it, but it was really amazing with its twisted gnarls...

It was also jutting off the side of a cliff - this made it substantially cooler, but I found the effect hard to capture!

It was our photo trip to the beautiful scenery of袋田瀑布 of Japan on nov 21.2013, we went to the great fall called袋田 and took the beautiful scenery included the colorful mountain trees , Creek and reflection and the afternoon bright sunshine made everything was so beautiful

I like trees at this time of year when you can see all the branches and I was lucky to see this one with a colourfull background

Much photographed tree near Surprise View, Hathersage, Derbyshire. Chilly winter sunset. Sadly, the clouds disappeared and the evening dissipated quickly. In the company of Hans Davis (Sadloafer ).

You've got to love trees on a ridge, especially in this light.

If a man walks in the woods for love of them half of each day, he is in danger of being regarded as a loafer. But if he spends his days as a speculator, shearing off those woods and making the earth bald before her time, he is deemed an industrious and enterprising citizen. ~Henry David Thoreau

An area with young trees, mainly fir trees, in the Black Forest, Germany. Several heavy storms in the last years caused a lot of damage and a new generation of trees has meanwhile replaced the old giants which were destroyed by the storms. The capture was taken in the morning when the sun had not yet managed completely to break through the clouds. The light on the trees was lovely and I liked the shadows on the snow.

West Hills, CA - There is this tree on a hill that I have visited over the years. Witnessed it through the seasons and it's transformations. Mother nature has a way to remind us that regardless of the circumstances and trials we all endure, what remains is beauty.

Dog Rocks is a changeable landscape with the windswept tree being deciduous, and during summer the surrounding grasses turn brown. The rocks were formed 365 million years ago and are the oldest rocks known of in Victoria.
