Iconic tree found all over Martha's Vineyard, here overlooking the waters off Menemsha.

Way back when, "The Vineyard" was a popular summer retreat for people in Boston and a few from NYC: even my friends in Connecticut (the neighboring state, two hours by car) hadn't heard of it. That all changed in the early 1990's when then-President Clinton went to visit. Since then everyone has heard of it and now you have to make ferry reservations months in advance (we used to just drive down and drive on!). Now license plates from New Mexico and Canada are not uncommon, and the island has slowly been made "cute." However, the same slow pace reigns: there are still no traffic lights on the island, and there is very little to do aside from going to the beach and shopping for odds and ends. A nice break from frantic urban lifestyles...!

Templi di Angkor - Tha Prohm

A differenza della maggior parte dei templi di Ankor, Tha Prohm è stato lasciato, fino a pochi anni fa, nelle stesse condizioni in cui fu scoperto. La strana atmosfera creata dalla combinazione degli alberi che spuntano dalle rovine e la giungla circostante ne hanno fatto uno tra i più popolari e visitati templi di Angkor.

Angkor Temples - Tha Prohm

Unlike most Angkorian temples, Ta Prohm has been left in much the same condition in which it was found: the photogenic and atmospheric combination of trees growing out of the ruins and the jungle surroundings have made it one of Angkor's most popular temples with visitors.

SOOC. I discovered this tree over the summer and my first thought was...

"The Whomping Willow exists!"

Except this one doesn't move :P

Sorrow is knowledge, those that know the most must mourn the deepest, the tree of knowledge is not the tree of life.

I went for a quick dog walk early on Sunday morning around Biddulph Grange with Darcy. I grabbed my camera but left my wide angle lens and tripod at home. But as I walked up a path called the Himalayan Walk up the stream there were little splashes of sunlight landing on the ground and the water. This one caught my eye...a patch of light on a tree trunk. Amongst the darkness it shone out as a beacon for all that is so wonderful in the world. Just to see it was so uplifting, and with the spring morning birdsong I could have believed I was in the Garden of Eden.

The Magnolia Trees bloom in the spring in the Smithsonian Castle's garden in Washington, DC. The Cherry Blossom trees, a gift from Japan, are also in bloom during this time of year.

The other evening we went for a short visit to Elk Island NP. It is too bad that night falls so early this time of year, because we lose light so fast. There is, simply, not enough time to capture the fall colors during a working week. By the time we get anywhere we have 30 min of light left. And, since foliage does not stay on the trees for too long around here we try to get out every chance we get. Here is a few shots of trees I took during that outing. It is so cool being surrounded by them during blue hour right now, because all that yellow just glows.

A closeup of my previous post of the tree at Old St Mellons, in Cardiff.

Dark skies at the old tree today. The rain stayed away during my visit, but I biked home through the rain a few hours later.

Tree and light

One thing i'll miss, once winter splits

is the bare and naked trees..

For spring has waited, patiently

to dress them up in leaves.

I love to see the shadow of

their trunks against a sunset sky...

(Naked trees are sexy things

but for what i don't know why...)

I love their branches laced in snow

up against a sky of blue...

I love them dressed up in ice

with a bright sun shining through..

Once their dressed, i must confess

they don't do a thing for me

though i do love the spring time buds

that change the scenery..

I love them best, when their dressed

In the beauty Autumn brings..

Still, Naked trees, are defiently

one one my favorite things...

I know that lots of you will say

"she's talking about a friggin tree.".

But do one thing,for me this spring

check out a naked pregant tree

…like something almost being said.'

Philip Larkin: The Trees

Avalon has a lot of beautiful flowering trees of which this was one. I know nothing about tropical flowering trees and would really like to know the name of this one.

ETA: This in an Australian Silver-oak!

Trees will always leave me in awe, especially when they are big enough to feel like a home. This was such peaceful place and I could have been sitting there for ever watching all the animals living there.

Another foggy morning shot from Stanley Park. I'm so enchanted by this tree every single time I pass by it, and the dissipating fog with the morning sun finally breaking through really drew me in. What really caught my eye was the human element here (look hard, you'll find it) and it brought to mind a favourite fantasy fiction novel of mine which, if you haven't read, you should.
