First time I've used my Walimex fisheye for a few years, pointing it up at these beautiful trees seemed like a good idea, even though the light wasn't fabulous. That and the quite severe CA the lens produces in such a high-contrast shot led me to process it in b&w. As usual with this completely manual lens I set the aperture to f/8 and the focus to infinity.
I try to photograph this tree and its roots any time I walk through this valley.
It is just so unique as the roots climb up the steep hillside.

Down to a crawl for the rest of the way to Hilton, it makes chasing the Chatt job rather easy. Here they have just rounded a curve west of Sigma at MP 367 and enter a long tree tunnel. A lot of this line is surrounded by trees but compared to any other spot i saw this was the most impressive tree tunnel that also provided some sun light.
I found this fuzzy looking Cottonwood Tree at the beginning of the hike into Little Wildhorse Canyon, near Goblin Valley. The shape and color of the tree stood in great contrast to the clear blue sky in the background.

Trees are poems that earth writes upon the sky, we fell them down and turn them into paper, that we may record our emptiness.

Two trees seeing out the winter up at Whittliemuir Reservoir here in Howwood.
A very Happy New Year to all at Flickr, all the best for 2007!!
A tree with such wide and powerful limbs. I could only think of them as arms reaching out to attack me. Seriously it was such a beautiful tree with such expansive and reaching limbs in every direction. Such a work of art.

Tree, Dear Tree,
In the Spring, you give the birds a place to rest.
On your lovely branches I can hear a family of Robins singing in their nest.
Some trees are short, some trees are tall,
But all trees are lovely as their leaves change in the Fall.
I love to see your reds and browns, but your golden yellows are the best of all.
How beautiful you are covered in winter white,
As you stand in the snow and your branches are frozen in ice.
Then again comes the spring so crisp and clean,
Waking you out of your slumbering sleep.
Joyfully telling you another year has gone by,
" Look up dear tree you have grown one inch more closer to the sky." ~

I'm a big tree lover and this tree just happend to be housing a squirrels nest... By the way this sweet poem was wrote by a sixth grader ; )
These trees are there to talk about the air pollution, about humans and their garbage on the beautiful green carpet of earth. They have to do something to save the planet.
十年树木；百年树人
