A gnarled oak stands defiantly against a chill winter morning in the Hocking Hills of Ohio.

Here's how this tree looked when I visited the same place last year:

Enjoying late light in the Buttermoor.

While the GX7's dynamic range might not be as impressive as the a7R's, the improvement compared to my former camera - the GF1 - is significant.

Kevin called this morning around 6:30 saying it was very foggy on Springfield Rd. The temperature this morning was about 10 degrees and there was a wonderful frost on all the trees as well. The Mackinaw River valley had good visibility but on top of the hill - south of the river - it was foggy. The tree sits on top of the hill north of the river so it wasn't much to look at fog-wise. There was some interesting ice in the tree so I thought I'd make some black and white images.

it looked like God had tied a yellow ribbon around this tree.

I fell in love with this Oak tree....it is magnificent!! branching outward like arms stretched out and standing firm as it awaits the brutality which Winter will bring.

Trees in my backyard

After many, many, many years, my favourite dead tree finally that stood so long next to this oak, fell and went to the great forest in the sky. I'm surprised it lasted as long as it did and the view now is not the same. :(

Foggy late afternoon by the Uwharrie River, Randolph County, NC

Totally inspired today with an all day presentation by Ken Sklute, at Randolph Community College... where I have taught 18 plus years in the Photographic Technology Dept.

Great fog on my way home, only had a point and shoot...but it's not about the equipment now is it!?

Dead tree in the Parc de la Tête d'Or in Lyon, France.

This shot is typical of the type of lighting you can expect in this swamp... it generally has thick tree cover. Most of the native flora here has to be exceedingly shade tolerant.

My picture was taken at Santa Fe Plaza, the end of the Santa Fe Trail and a popular place for people to meet up and talk for a while.

It's a nice spot to do just that and pretty too.

Taken from the back garden.

I don't think that I've ever uploaded this picture despite it being taken at the beggining of last year. It of an old crooked tree at Speeton.

An old tree growing on a rock on the banks of Loch Katrine, Trossachs National Park Scotland.

Lovers Key State Park, Fort Myers Beach, FL

I went walking through graveyards for my break from work.

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

I think of you in silence, I often speak your name.

Now all I have are memories and your picture in a frame.

Your memory is my keepsake with I ll never part.

God has you in heaven and I have you in my heart.

In the loving memory of my mother (19-6-2012)

Another image that cannot truly represent the desturction caused by the Black Saturday fires.

Un dettaglio del mio alberello...di Natale. Palle colorate e decorate come questa ne ho diverse...tutte antiche di qualche anno...particolari e a cui sono molto legato per vari ricordi...
