This beautiful tree is a Japanese Maple, and is in the Japanese Garden in Washington Park, Portland. We are just getting some really beautiful fall color now.
My thanks to you all for your wonderful comments and fave's! It is heartwarming and inspiring to me.

Something different. No bokeh today (sometimes I've got to do it). I had to stand in this spot for a while to get the path with no people on (there are some people in the distance though), but every time I tried to get a shot, someone would walk/cycle/skateboard into my shot. Now, if I trying for bokeh people, that would be fine, but instead, I probably looked like I was lost or something just standing there. :)
Happy Thursday! The weekend is in sight! I've looking forward to some quality time with my camera. I haven't picked it up for several weeks, and with the days getting really short, it's hard to find time or the light to get anything worth it. I always seem to be using the same lens recently, which is fine, but I do think I need to take some other lenses out for a spin this weekend. Maybe The Beast (macro lens)... or I might try and see if the garden birds co-operate with my big zoom lenses. We'll see... :)
Beauty is all around us if we pay a little attention to it. A simple ray of sunlight can transform an insignificant landscape into a magnificent one.
In the beauty, among the trees
Face caressed by the summer breeze
Hear the birds sing in the skies
See the clouds, float past your eyes
Walk between the spreading trees
Feel the lovely summer breeze
That falls upon your waiting face
As past you, beauty it does race
If you photograph wildlife long enough, you're bound to capture mating behaviour. Tree Swallows are quite entertaining. He flies in and out, all the while making a loud clicking noise.

Spring Memories. Happy Thursday (where did the week go)!
A wee one from a while back that I just have a soft spot for. I love the menacing air of these trees - almost a lynch mob of trees.

The weather is miserable, it’s windy and it’s raining, but despite that the trees are still looking quite nice, so it was just a matter of pointing the camera out of the window to get this shot.

Thank you for your visit and your comments, they are greatly appreciated.
I'm not a big fan of winter brown, but leafless trees do have some charm of their own revealed only when their leaves are gone... I think this is Osage Orange bark but any confirmation or correction would be appreciated.
Winter is green season after some rains. Many plants have now flowers again after a hot and dry summer. This is the time to plant cool season veggies like lettuce, radishes, etc..The view from the house towards the Ebro valley.

Im Winter ist es grün sobald es ein paar Tage lang geregnet hat. Viele Pflanzenblühen jetzt wieder nach dem heissen und trockenen Sommer. Jetzt kann man Gemüse pflanzen das gern kühl hat, wie Salat, Radiesli etc..

Banteay Srei or Banteay Srey is a 10th-century Cambodian temple dedicated to the Hindu god Shiva. Located in the area of Angkor, it lies near the hill of Phnom Dei, 25 km (16 mi) north-east of the main group of temples that once belonged to the medieval capitals of Yasodharapura and Angkor Thom. Banteay Srei is built largely of red sandstone, a medium that lends itself to the elaborate decorative wall carvings which are still observable today. The buildings themselves are miniature in scale, unusually so when measured by the standards of Angkorian construction. These factors have made the temple extremely popular with tourists, and have led to its being widely praised as a "precious gem", or the "jewel of Khmer art."
The temple's modern name, Bantãy Srĕi—citadel of the women, or citadel of beauty—is probably related to the intricacy of the bas relief carvings found on the walls and the tiny dimensions of the buildings themselves. Some have speculated that it relates to the many devatas carved into the walls of the buildings. Apsaras, divine nymphs or celestial dancing girls, are characters from Indian mythology. Apsaras and devatas are ubiquitous at Angkor, but are most common in the foundations of the 12th century. Depictions of true (dancing) apsaras are found, for example, in the Hall of Dancers at Preah Khan, in the pillars that line the passageways through the outer gallery of the Bayon, and in the famous bas-relief of Angkor Watdepicting the churning of the Ocean of Milk.
Dvarapalas are human or demonic temple guardians, generally armed with lances and clubs. They are presented either as a stone statues or as relief carvings in the walls of temples and other buildings, generally close to entrances or passageways. Their function is to protect the temples. Dvarapalas may be seen, for example, at Preah Ko, Lolei, Banteay Srei, Preah Khanand Banteay Kdei. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banteay_Srei)
A quiet Sunday morning at Larkrigg (bridge 180) near Kendal on the dry northern reaches of the Lancaster canal. I was there for about an hour before the tow-boat circus turned up. I was a bit worried at one point, if someone was to asked me what I was waiting for, my reply of "a boat" might have caused some concern. I did think that if I added that Captain Jack Sparrow will be in command, the police would soon arrive! The larch trees on the left were planted by the canal company, very forward thinking of them, as their boats used Larch.
Winter in northern Germany. There is no snow but it is below zero degrees Celsius.

The trees are growing on an Esker. It is an important geological feature as it is the longest in the UK. Eskers are formed by a river running underneath a glacier. The bank is a long line of gravel and pebbles.
