"Trees"
I saw this row of trees the other day while out and about. I thought they looked nice against the apartments. I don't know what kind they are. Maybe you recognize them.

Trees are much like human beings and enjoy each others' company. Only a few love to be alone.

HBW! Well these are the blossoms that come before the berries on this tree. I have no idea what kind of tree it is, and nobody I've asked did either.
It was rainy and overcast when I took this, so the lights not the best

A shoe tree is a device approximating the shape of a foot that is placed inside a shoe to preserve its shape, stop it from developing creases and thereby extend the life of the shoe. It is a reusable alternative to wadded rags or newspapers.
Perhaps more important than maintaining the shape, shoe trees also play a crucial part of wicking away leather-damaging moisture from the inside. This is especially important when shoes are worn without socks, as the sweat absorbed by the leather can lead to lining rot
Higher quality shoe trees are made from solid wood, usually cedar, which helps control odor and absorb moisture. Other materials include beech, lime and alderwood. Although most shoe tree manufacturers claim that cedarwood is superior, there is really no difference as long as the shoe tree is made of unfinished wood.
This tree must be sandalwood.
We stopped at Meeting of the Waters for lunch - from here it is back uphill. Springbrook National Park, Queensland.
I took a GorillaPod so was able to take some long exposures and fight of a leech at the same time!
A long single track lane lined with trees which I think are White Poplars.
Can't wait to return when there is some thick fog.

During the 30 second exposure I illuminated the tree using a spotlight from both sides.
Additional photos from this road trip may be found on my blog.

It's been brought to my attention that in many parts of the world, pumpkins grow on vines along the ground.
So I thought I'd post a couple of pinhole photos of a pumpkin tree growing on a local beach on the windward-side of the island.

Taken at night while it was still lightly snowing. I wasn't sure what color I liked the sky to be while I was processing, so I tried a few out.
I'm not a big fan of snow, especially driving in it, but I do love how the trees look like this just after it snows. :)
My wife and I came across this lone tree on a recent walk in Gills Rock, Wisconsin in beautiful Door County, Wisconsin. The fall colors have peaked and beautiful color is everywhere. View On Black
