Reflected trees everywhere: in the central brook, but also in the flooded meadows left and (in the distance) right of the brook.
This area, the "Assebroekse Meersen" has as a function that it absorbs excess water and protects the houses of the nearby village Ver-Assebroek, near Bruges.

A lovely woodland walk amongst magnificent old trees in the National forest of Tomnafinnoge Woods, County Wicklow, Ireland.
“Tomnafinnoge Woods is the last surviving fragment of the great Oak Woods of Tinahely, which once clothed the hills and valleys of south Wicklow, Ireland. As early as 1444 these woods supplied timber for the construction of King's College, Cambridge, and later for Westminster Abbey, St Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin and Trinity College, Dublin. In 1634, the woods were estimated to cover 'more than many thousand acres', but from then on they were heavily exploited especially for shipbuilding.
Today the woods are owned and protected by the Irish State. They are included in the Slaney River Valley candidate Special Area of Conservation.[2] A tributary of the Slaney, the River Derry flows through the woods. This is one of the best places in Ireland to see the great spotted woodpecker, which has recently recolonised the country.“ (Wikipedia)
I was watching an egret and a great blue heron scan an area near each other. The egret clearly was yielding to the heron. At one point, the heron made a move toward the egret's location, after which the egret took off and landed in this tree, and called out in frustration.

The tree, or not the tree, that is the question ...
Ёлка или не ёлка, вот в чём вопрос.
Поздравляю со Старым Новым Годом!
Just a tree in the middle of a field out in the middle of nowhere. The thing that really blows my mind is how many stone walls there are around my area. They make me think of the past and how long they've been there, who built them, what was its purpose back then. They truly amaze me.
I can't stop allowing myself to go back to Smithville to capture this tree. I love to photograph it in all the seasons and one important thing I have learned is to never take it for granted. I had a very special tree in the Smithville Lake area that was taken down without notice and I regret not photographing it more. I guess this can apply to many things in life (family, friends, etc). So here I am, early in the morning mesmerized by the shape of the extended branches along the country fence line and the glow of the sky. I ended up blurring out the grass to give the sole focus on the this magnificent living specimen. I am just awed by the shapes here as if it were drawn on the page.
There is a lovely little flock of Tree Sparrows at South Alloa and they have taken a liking to this hawthorn which is fortunately at the right angle for the morning sun.

About 20 minutes before sunset I was thinking the sky might get very colorful, but I was busy with some things so could not head down to Middle River ...
But as the sun set ... the sky went 'crazy' ... I was able to quickly get out the camera and get some captures nearby at some large trees. Composed with the 14mm between these large trees. It was fun to see what compositions I could come up with while enjoying those amazing clouds and colors as they changed over several minutes.

This little Douglas Fir tree is about 40-50 years old. It has survived countless weather events by growing on top of a floating log in a lake on Vancouver Island. It is apparently the most photographed tree in Canada. We had not planned on visiting this iconic scene simply because so many people from around the world have tried to photograph it. Conditions have to be just right in order to separate the tree from background clutter and unless you have hip waders, there is no good vantage point to shoot this tree. We had no hip waders and very little time to wait for the right conditions. However, on our quick morning visit to see the tree on our way to our next destination, I was able to frame up this portrait with a long lens just as a bit of light hit the tree and there was a momentary stillness in the light breeze rippling the water. The background is the water with refections. It was magical to see this little survivor. Happy Tree-mendous Tuesday.

I was lucky I'd actually created this yesterday, as my laptop has died! I've had terrible trouble trying to upload this via my tablet, which is very new to me (Xmas present), so bear with me if I don't comment very much. I think our network is having issues too.
