I am is a little tired of rains. I like to look through colorful pictures taken at different times. They give me hope that those rains won't last for ever.
I always find that when you're gifted with mist and a beautiful sunrise you very often spot details you would normally miss, spiders webs being one of those things.. amazed just how many there was on that morning....
Sawley, Derbyshire.
Ein Baum den ich schon zu jeder Jahreszeit fotografiert habe. ...aber mit diesem Raureif sieht er für mich gewaltig aus...
Llyn Dywarchen on a beautiful bright day in Snowdonia with this corner being the only calm bit of the lake to gain a reflection.
A beautiful morning in the Derbyshire peak district with great friend Jon Sargisson this morning, although it seemed we were never quite in the right place at the right time, we did manage to capture some wonderful moody shots at Chatsworth, the mist never let us see the majestic house but it did provide the atmosphere y the river Derwent
So this is one of my favourite tree shots, taken at Blenheim Palace of all places. What a grand old tree, it looks so tree'ish!
I did post a horribly HDR'd version here way back 10 years ago but wanted to share it without the OTT HDR edit.
Happy Thursday from me and the trees :)

"if you get out to a good location and you are patient then sometimes you get lucky. I was very cold and tired after being lucky:)"
A smashing dawn yesterday morning over Stanton by dale and the Trent valley created a fab sky over the golden field of spring rapeseed crops
This is the lone tree at Rydal Water in Cumbria. I've visited it many times when mist was forecast, but it never happened. During my recent break in the Lake District, it finally did. Mist is needed to separate the tree from the background.

This is the road from Glasshouses to Dacre Banks, near Glasshouses Bridge in Nidderdale, North Yorkshire, England
Records about Glasshouses stretch as far back as 1386 and the name of the village is believed to have derived from the Old English Glas Hus, which translates as the place where glass was made. Whilst there is no firm evidence of this, it was believed that glass for Fountains Abbey was made here
Arrived at this location a little too early for the heather to be in bloom, but fortunately the sunset made the trip worthwhile.

One of my favourite locations, this time just after sunset. Some colours still in the clouds, reflected in the calm water. For once I had the lake to myself and was able to experience the calm and serenity of mountains and water. Next time I hope to go in winter when it will a totally different experience.

A beautiful tree that I have long admired over the years when passing this spot but never tried to photograph until yesterday. It is in a very awkward location, surrounded by sheep pens, fences and walls - rather looking like a deliberate attempt to stop any photography of it from any angle. I only decided to try it as there suddenly appeared light on the mountain in the background, but composition was a problem as I wanted the tree 'separated' from the mountain - a struggle to do from behind a stone wall.
I think this beautful swan wanted some breakfast , or just like having a picture taken , either way i was just happy it was there :)
The three baby owls cuddled in a new little nest. They were walking from left to right and vice verse, and stretching wings in a confined space and trying to stay in the shade. It is lucky to have three of them looking in the same direction through the narrow nest opening.
Special thanks to Evan for the location. It is 3 not 2!
The Lone Cypress Tree, located along the scenic 17-Mile Drive in Monterey and Carmel, is one of the most iconic landmarks on the California coast. This solitary cypress has withstood the test of time, weathering countless storms and braving the salty sea air for over 250 years.
The tree is believed to have sprouted sometime in the early 1770s, making it one of the oldest living things in the area. Its unique location on a rocky outcropping, overlooking the Pacific Ocean, has made it a popular subject for photographs, paintings, and even logos for the Pebble Beach Company.
The Lone Cypress Tree has become a symbol of resilience and perseverance, standing strong despite the challenges of its harsh environment. It has even survived attempts to remove it from its precarious perch. In the 1940s, the tree was propped up with cables to prevent it from falling into the ocean, and in the 1980s, a replacement tree was planted nearby in case the original finally succumbed to the elements.
But despite its fame and popularity, the Lone Cypress Tree is still a living thing that requires care and attention. In recent years, the tree has faced a number of health challenges, including the effects of climate change and invasive pests. The Pebble Beach Company has taken steps to protect and preserve the tree, including limiting public access to the area around it and implementing conservation measures.
The lone tree at Milarrochy. And Effie. With cloud free sunset over Loch Lomond, Scotland.
It's rather off the beaten track and a nightmare to get to at the moment with so many closed roads in the area, but I was determined to find my way back on a fine day before we leave this area. Because I doubt I will go back.
Required reading when I was in Grade 9 (eons ago), was the 1943 novel A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith. And now, eons later, all I remember about the book is the title - but the metaphor for the novel is the Tree of Heaven, that has a persistent ability to grow and flourish even in the harshest of conditions - and that is certainly the case for this little hawthorn tree on an exposed hillside, overlooking the mighty Bla Bheinn, Isle of Skye.
