Sometimes the trees can represent a human emotion. We can look at these bare branches as dark and alone or we can see them as reaching for the light to show their splendor once again.
Normally Mordialloc Beach is flat so either there has been extra sand added or the sand has been washed away.
This summer has been a very mixed bag of weather, including some more recent humid weather which has brought out profusions of blooms in neighbourhood gardens including these beautiful East Asian Hibiscus rosa-sinensis (pink flower) China Rose hibiscus flowers.
Hibiscus is a genus of flowering plants in the mallow family, Malvaceae. The genus is quite large, comprising several hundred species that are native to warm temperate, subtropical and tropical regions throughout the world. Hibiscus rosa-sinensis is known colloquially as Chinese hibiscus, China rose, Hawaiian hibiscus, rose mallow and shoeblackplant
This one hit Explore, whoops; wasn't planning on that. Well, this is Brookfield Orchards, in case someone wants to drop them a 'like' on FB (or visit if you're in the area). We had stopped in to buy ourselves some candy from their charming New England-y shoppe.

Still some Autumn colours in the car park yesterday, though some of the trees have lost their leaves now.
Better viewed large.
Thank you for your favourites. :O)
I will never tire of photographing trees! Here I imagine one tree is just boogying, arms everywhere, lots of movement......while the other stands there quite primly. However....it IS difficult to dance wildly when you're dead!

For those of us living on the Great Lakes, we experience streamers of heavy snow if cold winter air travels over the unfrozen waters. It has been a few years since the Lakes have seen much ice. I still have not seen any ice fishermen this year. Then it depends on where the winds blow if those streamers go right over our area. They tend to be localized. This harbour light at a marina on Georgian Bay is fading into the sugary shower of snow from one of those streamers going overhead. If the wind is calm, it is such a pretty sight.

"Already I have shed the leaves of youth,
stripped by the wind of time down to the truth
of winter branches. Linear and alone
I stand, a lens for lives beyond my own,
a frame through which another's fire may glow,
a harp on which another's passion, blow."
Anne Morrow Lindbergh--Bare Tree

HWW!
A recent sunset through my Silver Birch trees (with added texture from Kerstin Frank). Apologies to my Flickr friends as I have been feeling a bit grumpy lately as the Stage 4 lockdown gets to the halfway stage. This weekend is going to be very cold, wet, muddy and windy. So perhaps I'll make some more Marmalade like I did last weekend!!
On my way home today. Bare branches with crows.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR VIEWS, COMMENTS, FAVES AND INVITES!
ALL ARE APPRECIATED!
This is an image I had sitting in the queue for almost two months to be posted. It was taken in our park before the leaves appeared on the branches. I was intrigued by the long lanky branches that were spreading randomly in all directions. That knot in the one branch is interesting, too. The reason I posted this one is because I am spending lots of time in our yard trimming trees that have suddenly sprouted leaves and branches to the point of overwhelming our little space. I love the idea of being free and a little wild. However, I need to tame that natural tendency a little. Hubby is still recuperating so I am doing most of the yard work. The good news is that I feel so great with the physical workout. I love all our trees and how they attract so many birds. It is worth the effort to care for them.

In winter when the trees are mainly bare, there's only the evergreens of pine, cypress etc. to adorn those bare branches. With the magic of Infrared they can look like a winter wonderland. Here I used my infrared digital converted Nikon D80 with the 'Super Goldie' (590nm) filter. Processed into B+W by simply desaturating any colour and tints.
Happy Monochrome Thursday! ;o)

The dead, bare branches shimmer in the morning light with cottony tufts from nearly Eastern Cottonwood trees.
