Originally split at the tree base, 1/2 of it decided to part ways, probably quite a few years ago. We are on Franktown Road in Washoe Valley, Nevada. The remaining trunk is an estimated 10' in diameter, and it tapers off rapidly, another distinct feature.

Amtrak No. 6, the California Zephyr, is eastbound between Yarmony and Radium along the scenic Colorado River. The shiny Superliner cars reflect the afternoon sun in the placid water of the river as the train approaches Red Gorge, which can be seen above the train and will be traversed in a couple of minutes.

Each bend of their branches is like poetry in motion, reflecting the life and dynamics that flow in nature.

One person’s garbage is another person’s treasure. The Keys are littered with abandoned boats. I came upon this one near our home. The Coast Guard refers to these as “derelict” or “abandoned” vessels. The government’s website has a definition for the two: ‘“Derelict” frequently refers to vessels that are dilapidated with an identifiable owner, while “abandoned” vessels are those where the owner is unknown or has surrendered rights of ownership. Vessels become abandoned and derelict for many reasons.’

I’m not sure why they stay sitting as an attractive nuisance without being removed by the authorities but it gives me another photo backdrop. I need to get back out here on a starry night. Until then Tracey is my Siren.

To see one of these images alone would give no sense of scale: this is the view from the roots-end far on the opposite side of the jungle valley. There is a stream running below about halfway down this horizontal trunk, but walking underneath, I couldn't reach the trunk.

Like humans, trees change in appearence when getting old. Sometimes in interesting ways...

Did this yesterday, I was out with Frank and Dennis, did loads of shots, I wasn't happy with any of them, guess this is the best, it needed the B&W treatment to bring out the old gnarled branches

Unfortunately just a shot out of the car through the window at about 80km/h on the A109 - the Nairobi-Mombasa connection road. Too bad that I just got the shot out of the car. It took me a while to get rid of most of the reflections from the window in photoshop but think it's worth an upload.

My first triptych and not the last. I really like the way it can tell a story in one frame.

This old tree is the odd one out in a forest of tall skinny trees.

This tree is around the corner from my last house, and I still go by to shoot it at different times of the year. But fall will always be my favorite...

This tree is so beautiful that I'm planning to plant some at my new place, hoping to get to enjoy the mature beauty, or at least leave it for the next folks to enjoy.

Wildflowers are booming again at Catherine Creek, so early this year! I have plenty of shots of the flowers as well but I wanted to share this one because of the hearts that I see! :) Thinking of all the amazing Flickr Friends who helped me get my beginnings as a photographer.. you all helped me build my skills and confidence and I will never forget that!

I wanted to tag just a few of you who made a big difference in my life in many ways, but got overwhelmed by the number of tags and was afraid I might miss someone! Those of you who helped me the most know darn well I mean you, sending you hugs!

산수유(山茱萸)

Scientific name: Cornus officinalis

The Rosskopf surely gets photographed frequently because he's at the lower part of »Großer Ahornboden«. Nonetheless, I like that scene with the old tree taken with a Sinar p2 (some shift for control of perspective).

The photo was taken on slide film and drum scanned with Heidelberg Tango.

I love the texture of the bark and especially the taste of the fruit.
