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.

A shot from Buck Mesa in Colorado before the storm clouds made the last of the peaks invisible. This was one of the most stunning outlooks we visited during the trip even though the fall foliage was well past its peak. As September is coming quickly to an end, I can’t escape the thoughts of the amazing road trip we took to Colorado around this time last year.

We had plans to head to New England this year for fall foliage but crazy work schedule and an unforeseen wedding pretty much thwarted our plans for the trip. Hopefully next year. Thankfully we live in SoCal so I’ll be heading to the Big Sur coast this winter.

this is a ps experiment... :o)

have a nice day.

This is an image of a 800 year old Yellowwood tree located in Tsitsikamma Park at the Garden Route. How to take a picture of a tree surrounded by other trees in a forest? In my opinion the trunk and a much younger member of it's family are an interesting combination. For more information click www.tsitsikamma.info/news/the_big_tree_%E2%94%82tsitsikamma

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!

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

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.

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.

Lonely tree at foggy morning with sun rays

What’s with this recent entitlement-culture and dilution of artist recognition across social media?⠀

⠀

I can attest to the effort, time and hardship invested by photographers to capture the images they do. It’s not a bad thing, we do it because we love it and because it challenges us but the images we share don’t come easy. This is why it’s hard for us when we see our carefully shot and carefully finished image somehow becoming someone else’s image. To re-edit and use however they choose.⠀

⠀

Finding a photo online, dropping it in a bucket of saturation then warming up your keyboard ready to thank everyone for admiring your ‘new image’ isn’t photography and it’s not ok.⠀

⠀

“I’m a skilled connoisseur and I’m just as entitled to use the photo as you are”. I’m sorry but, no. You’re not.⠀

⠀

Let’s shift the culture back to what’s right, stop supporting the cheaters and go back to encouraging talented artists to continue creating amazing work for the rest of us to enjoy. ⠀

I've mentioned in previous posts that I'm appreciative of farmers leaving single trees in spots where they seem to be in the way. I always think there's a good story as to why it wasn't cut down. This tree is one of my favourites, just on the edge of a field near Dugald, Manitoba.

Acer is a genus of trees and shrubs commonly known as maples. The genus is placed in the family Sapindaceae. There are approximately 132 species.

The maples usually have easily recognizable palmate leaves and distinctive winged fruits. The closest relatives of the maples are the horse chestnuts. Maple syrup is made from the sap of some maple species.

Maples flower in late winter or early spring, in most species with or just after the appearance of the leaves, but in some before the trees leaf out.

Maple flowers are green, yellow, orange or red. Though individually small, the effect of an entire tree in flower can be striking in several species. Some maples are an early spring source of pollen and nectar for bees.

Dining room of a rotten sanatorium - built 1898 - abandoned since about 1992 - somewhere in Germany

it is real shame to see the vandalism and the devastation all over there. No respect for the past.

Yellowstone River - Montana. Went with my dog to get some bird pictures - ended up with trees. :)

This big rain tree (Albizia saman) is from Thailand. You may notice the colorful strip of clothes around the tree. Thai people usually do this to worship the spirit that resides in the tree. It is also a trick to prevent someone to cut down the tree.

Wish you all happy new year 2016

Almost at the top of the Clent Hills, Worcestershire, UK - a beautiful day for once!

The leaves on this Maple tree are always the last ones to turn from Green into the rich brilliant and vivid reds. Nature at its finest.

One of the large sequoia trees in Mariposa Grove in Yosemite National Park. It is really big.

My favourite trees in the world. Though maybe I should travel a bit more :)

Stark in Winter, lush in Summer. Also a nice foreground when we get a stormy sky and these amazing cumulus congestus (sorry, cloud nerd that I am) formations.

I just managed to capture this before the farmer's tractor came down the field, ploughing again for this year's cereal crop. So the cycle turns....

FROM WIKIPEDIA:

Joshua Tree National Park is located in southeastern California.

It is named for the Joshua trees native to the park and covers a land area of 790,636 acres – an area slightly larger than the state of Rhode Island.

A large part of the park, some 429,690 acres, is a designated wilderness area. Straddling the San Bernardino County/Riverside County border. The park includes parts of two deserts, each an ecosystem whose characteristics are determined primarily by elevation: the higher Mojave Desert and lower Colorado Desert.

The Little San Bernardino Mountains run through the southwest edge of the park.

long branches of the tree with beautiful back ground impressed me.

thanks for every one for views, faves, and comments.
