If you looked up to the top of the tall trees the new leaves emerging for Spring shone out, vibrant in their beautiful colours.
I’m finding it hard to get the tree out of my mind, the tree, our tree. It’s one of those horrible WHY moments in my life that have stunned me, John Lennon’s assassination, the twin towers, Brexit and now our tree. I keep saying our tree because it was our tree, not Robin Hoods tree, our tree, it’s a place on the map it was the most beautiful icon of the North East. I viewed many beautiful photos yesterday and read the words, shock, disbelief and memories, some said simply “no words” which is understandable, although I need to share my words or they just rattle about in me. I’ve taken many a photo of the tree and I always intend to go and get that special sunrise, backed by the Aurora, arcing with the milky way or a snowy day with ice hanging from it’s branches. It’s never to be now. However I can’t stop thinking am I and photographers like me are partly to blame for this tragedy, forever posting photos on social media making the tree more famous, more attention. If it never had this cult notoriety maybe it would still be happily standing today watching the many pilgrims walking the wall, maybe the mindless moron who ended its days would have been oblivious of its existence, maybe. Too many questions, too many thoughts which time will bury but not really heal. Anyway here is my last goodbye star tree.
It was a nice hike up to the top of Gibraltar Rock near Lodi, WI. Many people make that journey to photograph this tree. Enjoy!

As sunset approached at the nature park, I was walking on a dirt path by the river, rounded the bend, and then was struck by this beautiful tree lit by the golden sun, with an equally beautiful reflection in the water. The light was fleeting, so I had to work fast. Because of the brilliant highlights, this shot was not so easy to capture technically. HDR produced ghastly results, so I had to work with one image and pull out detail in the shadows. That produced a lot of noise, which I then reduced using LOTS of noise reduction. But in the end, the beauty my eyes beheld was pretty much replicated in this image.

Same trees as yesterday, with varying subject placement and crop. Birds don't generally give framing options, so it's nice to find a subject that allows exploration of placement. TBH, I think that all of these are attractive options.

This bird has an insect in its beak, only the legs of the insect are visible and it gives the impression that the bird has a tiny moustache. Press L to see its tiny moustache.

This tree is in the field next to the pitch where I play cricket. I have always loved the "s" shape of the tree and I love seeing how it changes through the Spring and Summer.
THis is the first shot of the tee since I received my 24mm pancake lens for Christmas.
The infamous lone tree at Llyn Padarn. We arrived 45 mins before sunrise to find ourselves 4th in the queue! There was one tog who'd firmly planted his tripod in prime position and refused to move! I despise that behaviour.... So here's my favourite image from Padarn albeit it slightly off centre....
