Daisy Trees are only found in Southeast Missouri, in the geological section known as the Benton Hills, Native Americans used the blooms of this tree for decorations. Upon arrival the French quickly discovered how to convert the blooms into a semisweet yellow wine which was called Dasionette. This method of wine making was lost during the civil war.
Geese, Tree, Dusk. San Joaquin Valley, California. January 1, 2015. © Copyright 2015 G Dan Mitchell - all rights reserved.
Ross’s geese fly low past a tree at dusk, San Joaquin Valley
A small group of photographer friends spent (for the third year in a row) New Year's Day in California's San Joaquin Valley, greeting the dawn of 2015 by photographing it! Dawn wasn't the only attraction — we are also drawn here by the landscape, the incredible wildlife (geese, cranes, egrets, herons, ibises, pelicans, and much more), and the beautiful winter light in this part of California. We began our day in the pre-dawn soft and foggy light and ended it in post-dust light when it finally became to dark to photograph.
For me this simple photograph of a field, a tree, and some geese evokes many of the things that draw me back to this landscape every winter. Even on a day when the tule fog thins, the atmosphere rarely seems to fully clear, and the dusk light is soft and mysterious and full of colors. And at this hour the geese seem to be settling in for the evening, often collecting in large groups in fields of ponds. As they do, they often seem to fly low between groups, flowing across the still landscape and between trees like the wind itself or like the flow of water.

I have finally finished this doll! It was the most difficult one I have ever worked on. This is the Tree Dragon, a trade I have made with emilisculptsand therefore this is why it can look familiar for you! Here is the original design: emilysculpts.deviantart.com/art/Spring-Dragon-Details-193...
This is a sculpture I admire since long time ago. I fell in love with this creature and then started following emilysculpts works! The dragon was very inspiring and made me want to make a nature based creature too, but I couldn't take it out of my mind to work on my own. Then, one day we had the opportunity to make a trade with her and then I was going to make a doll of that so many time ago inspiring sculpture!! That was AMAZING! And happened exactly when I became a "plant lady". Loving plants, collecting, caring, growing. So, it is a very special doll for me.
It was the first time the reference was a sculpture and not an illustration. It was very different! And hard to not make it look that similar that would lost my own style. As you can see, I have to make some modifications on design, as a doll needs to move and some changes were needed. I have modified mostly the leaves on the body, and the horns, that made me change the ears too. But I think the changes looks great on him! I absolutely love his face <3
This is a handmade ball jointed doll, entirely made from scratch. I have used artificial plant as the leaves, so it won't be fragile. Also it is the most detailed doll I have ever made. I am very proud of the result! It looked so realistic as a plant that at the moment we were taking pictures, one of the trees of his back (that are attached with magnets) were accidentally lost and we took a lot of time to find it in the middle of the plants...xD I will make a video for you to see it in action!
Pictures were taken by my friend! www.flickr.com/photos/delirium_of_the_endless/

TreeOfLifeAtDAK
The Tree of Life is a sculpted 14-story (145-foot tall), 50-foot wide tree, is the centerpiece and icon in Disney's Animal Kingdom theme park since it opened on April 22, 1998.
Paths known as Discovery Island Trails weave around and through this homage to nature. About 325 carved animals make up the surface of the tree and its trunk, with the Discovery Island Trails allowing guests the opportunity to explore and see them all as well as numerous animal exhibits scattered around the roots.
A theater is housed in the Tree of Life root system where the It's Tough to be a Bug! show is performed. This 8-minute, 3D movie and multimedia show features Flik, everybody's favorite ant, and his grasshopper friend, Hopper, from the Disney Pixar film A Bug's Life—along with a supporting cast of insects and arachnids who provide a surprising look into the animal kingdom.

The wet dawn inks are doing their blue dissolve.
On their blotter of fog the trees
Seem a botannical drawing...

This unusual tree is one of the trees near the Billings Mansion in Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historic Park near Woodstock, Vermont. It is just one of the many trees in the oldest professionally managed forest in North America. The woodland is rooted in more than utility: it embodies early conservation philosophy and ideas derived from the Picturesque style about how to use forests as scenery. The conservation ideas flow from George Perkins Marsh (1801–1882), who grew up on part of this property after the mountain had been clear-cut for sheep farming, leaving barren, gullied slopes and silt-choked streams. Marsh, at various times a lawyer, Congressman, and diplomat, witnessed even greater devastation caused by poor farming practices and deforestation in Europe and the Middle East, moving him to write the seminal work of the American conservation movement, Man and Nature (1864). Among those swayed by Marsh’s book was Frederick Billings (1823–1890), a prosperous businessman who, like Marsh, grew up in Woodstock. Billings bought the Marsh property in 1869 and then hired Boston-based landscape gardener Robert Morris Copeland (1830–1874) to plan the grounds. Copeland authored books which urged farmers to embrace scientific methods developed to prevent the destruction Marsh documented. Copeland also exhorted farmers to strive for beauty as well as utility. For Billings, Copeland created a plan that featured elements in the “Natural or English style” that Copeland’s book advocated: winding drives, clumps of trees, a summerhouse, greenhouses, flower gardens, and a kitchen garden. From the 1870s through the late 1880s, Billings reforested much of Mount Tom which rose above the mansion, choosing species for both scenery and timber value, including Norway spruce, European larch, Austrian pine, European mountain ash, and white ash. He used both native and non-native species. The forest project embraced principles of conservation popular at the time but was not a restoration project to bring back the native woods. More than 50 species of trees were planted and managed on the property. The woodland was a working forest meaning that planned harvesting of trees took place on a regular schedule.
For one hundred and forty years, as the property passed down through Billings’s descendants, each generation continued the tradition of progressive forestry— planting, harvesting, and managing the forest using the best scientific principles available in their time. The last private owners, philanthropists Laurance S. and Mary French Rockefeller (Billings’s granddaughter), donated the estate to the National Park Service on the condition that the woodland would remain a working forest.
While I was shooting the sunset the other evening, I turned and saw this elm tree smiling at me. Click, click.....

It's a complex matter, this process of thought.
Like a complicated network of roots, the nervous system carries the nutrient of thoughts to the brain....
The thoughts are cooked there, and end up into ideas.
Captured from Sadullapur, Savar, Bangladesh. Seems my own thought process is in a mess now a days, nothing creative is being cooked. Ha ha.

A bunch of balloons caught in a tree on Northeastern's campus. I spotted this while walking across campus to hang out with a friend, and couldn't help but take a photo.
Incredibly, this is one of many ancient trees in the grounds of Croft Castle (NT). Try as I may, I didn't take a photograph to really do any of them justice - I will just have to go back.
This photo depicts a cypress tree I transplanted as a small sapling from the creek bed itself during my childhood. The camera position for this photo is almost identical to that for the companion posting "Winter Reflections", but here the camera is facing in the opposite direction. Today this tree is very tall and impressive, but not nearly so large as the sycamore tree in my "Winter Sycamore" postings, also depicting a tree that I planted as a child. The difference is the rate of growth--the sycamore grows much more rapidly and is much shorter-lived. The sycamore may live sixty or eighty years, while this cypress tree may still be standing in this location 1000 years from today. Can't help wondering if this posting will still be around then? Anyone venture an answer?
After deciding to upgrade my kit lens to a nice new Sigma 17-50 f2.8 about a month ago this was the first chance I got to try it out. This is a style very new to me, so this was a complete hit or miss shoot. What came out of the camera I was pleasantly surprised with but a lot still needs to be learned. So a bit of night photography reading and the next clear spell I'll be back out to try again.
