Happy Tree-mendous Tuesday!

"In this setting... and only here -- always within half a mile of high tide, and along a few winding miles of shoreline -- grows natively the Monterey Cypress, perhaps the rarest, certainly the most fantastic tree of North America. This species is in fact confined to two groves, the one at Cypress Point north of Carmel, and the other at Point Lobos State Park, just south of it." -- Donald Culross Beattie

Another from the Tuscany archive (2011).

George L. Smith State Park, Georgia USA

The low water level in the lake, post Hurricane Helene, is evident in the darkened lower trunks and the mirror-like reflections in the calm water.

Apparently too much wind for normal growth... Cypress tree at Lands End, a rocky and windswept shoreline within the Golden Gate National Recreation Area in San Francisco, California, USA.

The cypress is the tree’s grief and not

the tree, and it has no shadow because it is

the tree’s shadow

Cypress trees fascinate me, and I think it is the way the interesting flared trunks of the trees rise up out of the water that I like best. I don’t know of another tree that does it quite like that. These are Bald Cypress trees at Reelfoot Lake in Western Tennessee. This is just a study of one of those cypress trunks, complete with what are called cypress knees, the vertical parts that poke up around the base. This is a single shot, 25 seconds at f/18 in very low light.

On my way out of North Carolina, I stopped along side a lake and found these cypress trees growing out in the water. Photographing a tree growing in the water has always been on my bucket list... so I guess I nailed this one.

Lake Evans, Fairmount Park

Here’s another Cypress Tree wonderfully reflecting its fall colors onto the water. Keeping the kayak from making ripples was a challenge. (Bald Cypress - Taxodium distichum) (Sony a1, 24-105 lens @ 48mm, f/11, 1/125 second, ISO 100)

I viewed this thick grove of cypress with the evening sky painted perfectly for a backdrop. Robert Delaney Lake, Charleston MO.

This image was taken recently from a kayak. I call it "Cypress Dawn". I love Cypress trees. In a month or two Osprey should be coming to town which makes the lakes even more entertaining. I frankly don't know why I don't kayak more often. Thanks to Greg and Ashleigh for getting me out for a good paddle.

My version of a selfie. For some reason, the 30 to 1 rule (It takes 30 tries to get one good sunrise.) doesn't apply to Blue Cypress, where it is almost always grand.

Point Lobos Reserve, Monterey California.

Famous Cypress Tree Tunnel of Point Reyes, California

 

Most people took photos of the Cypress Tree Tunnel, but I found that a view from the outer side was as majestic as well.

I have been wanting to shoot at this place and finally did it last Saturday. Just standing there looking toward the end of the tunnel is quite an experience. This spot where I took the shot is about half way through the tunnel.

This is one of my favorite Cypress Tree shots. I love how so many flowers are growing around this tree’s trunk ,distant from the shore or any close neighbors. It’s interesting how four of us shot this lake for the same amount of time, saw the same trees and flowers and all had a significantly distinct vision and interpretation on how to communicate the beauty of the place in our work. I think everyone would see the beauty but making a good image out of the chaos of color and form is a challenge. Keep in mind, I’m only showing you ones I like, not the hundreds more that hit the trash heap. Unlike film, like one of my friends shoots (big expensive film up to 8 x 10), digital allows us to take as many as we like, which costs only time and not money. In my retired case, “Time is not money”. (Bald Cypress - Taxodium distichum) (Sony a1ii, 24-105 lens @ 68mm, f/6.3, 1/80 second, ISO 1600)
