After spending Friday night with a herd of Black Angus Cows (free range on Ohio Pass road) and listening to raindrops on the roof of the truck, I was surprised to wake up to mostly clear skies. What a glorious morning to get out and just enjoy the fall colors.

Look up, what do you see?

A closeup of my previous post of the tree at Old St Mellons, in Cardiff.

This was a late evening shot when the sun was on the horizon so that it's rays were just catching the very tops of the trees making it look as if they were on fire. I shot some video to as it was quite windy and the trees were swaying mesmerisingly.

Dark skies at the old tree today. The rain stayed away during my visit, but I biked home through the rain a few hours later.

this is a ps experiment... :o)

have a nice day.

This is an image of a 800 year old Yellowwood tree located in Tsitsikamma Park at the Garden Route. How to take a picture of a tree surrounded by other trees in a forest? In my opinion the trunk and a much younger member of it's family are an interesting combination. For more information click www.tsitsikamma.info/news/the_big_tree_%E2%94%82tsitsikamma

Avalon has a lot of beautiful flowering trees of which this was one. I know nothing about tropical flowering trees and would really like to know the name of this one.

ETA: This in an Australian Silver-oak!

One thing i'll miss, once winter splits

is the bare and naked trees..

For spring has waited, patiently

to dress them up in leaves.

I love to see the shadow of

their trunks against a sunset sky...

(Naked trees are sexy things

but for what i don't know why...)

I love their branches laced in snow

up against a sky of blue...

I love them dressed up in ice

with a bright sun shining through..

Once their dressed, i must confess

they don't do a thing for me

though i do love the spring time buds

that change the scenery..

I love them best, when their dressed

In the beauty Autumn brings..

Still, Naked trees, are defiently

one one my favorite things...

I know that lots of you will say

"she's talking about a friggin tree.".

But do one thing,for me this spring

check out a naked pregant tree

Trees will always leave me in awe, especially when they are big enough to feel like a home. This was such peaceful place and I could have been sitting there for ever watching all the animals living there.

Another foggy morning shot from Stanley Park. I'm so enchanted by this tree every single time I pass by it, and the dissipating fog with the morning sun finally breaking through really drew me in. What really caught my eye was the human element here (look hard, you'll find it) and it brought to mind a favourite fantasy fiction novel of mine which, if you haven't read, you should.

What’s with this recent entitlement-culture and dilution of artist recognition across social media?⠀

⠀

I can attest to the effort, time and hardship invested by photographers to capture the images they do. It’s not a bad thing, we do it because we love it and because it challenges us but the images we share don’t come easy. This is why it’s hard for us when we see our carefully shot and carefully finished image somehow becoming someone else’s image. To re-edit and use however they choose.⠀

⠀

Finding a photo online, dropping it in a bucket of saturation then warming up your keyboard ready to thank everyone for admiring your ‘new image’ isn’t photography and it’s not ok.⠀

⠀

“I’m a skilled connoisseur and I’m just as entitled to use the photo as you are”. I’m sorry but, no. You’re not.⠀

⠀

Let’s shift the culture back to what’s right, stop supporting the cheaters and go back to encouraging talented artists to continue creating amazing work for the rest of us to enjoy. ⠀

I've mentioned in previous posts that I'm appreciative of farmers leaving single trees in spots where they seem to be in the way. I always think there's a good story as to why it wasn't cut down. This tree is one of my favourites, just on the edge of a field near Dugald, Manitoba.
