I happened upon a group of 14 grey herons in a field. They are rather nervous birds and all took to the air. Some of them settled in this tree, and promptly took off again when I approached.
This capture was taken in Washington State.

You might wonder how a tree – and a dead one at that – can be a heritage attraction. Well for starters, the tree is a Limber Pine that lived for over 300 years (perhaps 700 years, some experts say) before it died around 1978. It stands like a sentinel at the east portal of the Crowsnest Pass, atop a low stony ridge right at the edge of Highway 3 near the site of the former town of Burmis, about 10 kilometres east of the Frank Slide.
The Burmis Tree was already hundreds of years old when the Davenport Coal Company started operations in 1910, and the village of Burmis sprang up with its NWMP police post, pool hall, school, church and a few businesses. The mine only operated until 1914 and then Burmis quickly declined, only to be briefly rejuvenated by the Burmis Lumber Company operations between 1933 and 1956.
The town of Burmis is no more, only a few houses and recreational properties remain. But every year thousands of tourists stop at the highway pulloff there, to look at the Burmis Tree and to read the interpretive panel. It is said that the Burmis Tree is the most photographed tree in Canada, and it is also the subject of many paintings, poems and other artistic expressions. It is beautiful, in it’s own rugged, windswept way. It is a perfect symbol for the Crowsnest Pass, an image of tough survival against all odds – typical, it seems, of everything and everyone here in the Pass.

Appalachian Trail, between Bull's Bridge and Kent, Connecticut.
We hiked Schaghticoke Ridge yesterday to remove two trees (blowdowns) that had fallen across the trail. My next piece of work will be to re-blaze the inner section of this ridge (3 miles) . AT blazes are white paint, 2" wide by 6" tall.
This brook was completely dry most of this past winter which is unusual, it's usually the source of lots of ice photography. Because we've had such a weird winter with little rain, there is an abundance of leaves everywhere: on the trail and in streams. I shot about ten reflection images from different vantage points in two pools on this stream and while I'd usually attempt to just catch the surface (pure trees) it seemed like it might be nice to get leaves in the shot which give the reflection another dimension.
I have to say, all of my images taken this day with the Fuji X70 turned out extremely well. I like the richness of the Fuji files and I'm shooting JPEG only as I don't have a RAW converter yet for the camera. The camera's controls, like the Ricoh GR's are completely useable with thin gloves on and it feels like a very well made, sturdy tool in my hands.

The common name birch is derived from an old Germanic root similar to birka.
The birch is considered a national tree of Russia, where it used to be worshipped as a goddess during the Green Week in early June.
In Belarus, Russia, the Baltic States, Finland, and parts of northern China, birch sap is drunk as a refreshing beverage, and is believed to have tonic qualities. It is watery and pale green in color, with a slightly sweet flavor, and is bottled commercially. In contrast to maple syrup, birch syrup is very difficult to produce, making it more expensive than other food syrups. It is also considerably less sweet than maple syrup.

A barcode is a machine-readable representation of information (usually dark ink on a light background to create high and low reflectance which is converted to 1s and 0s). Originally, barcodes stored data in the widths and spacings of printed parallel lines, but today they also come in patterns of dots, concentric circles, and text codes hidden within images. Barcodes can be read by optical scanners called barcode readers or scanned from an image by special software.

Two trees before sunrise. One taken only seven minutes after the other. Was very windy this morning and it blew in the clouds quickly. I arrived here an hour before sunrise and waited until after sunrise to get a better Image, but the sun was covered by the clouds until i packed up the camera and tripod. I never got the light i was waiting for. Just as i had walked 50 yards from this spot the sun decided to pop out, creating the light i was looking for and also a rainbow. This seems to be my luck with photography lately, always just missing the best moments by a minute
or two.
Taken at Mt Wilson in the Blue Mountains, NSW. The fog was a bit of a surprise as I dropped down the other side of the mountain - it was just beautiful.
is it all one tree, or a cluster of cousins? can't quite be sure...
and it's another rainy morning here -- perhaps i should take my camera out again!
