Un petit changement de direction après trop de bâtiments et de villes... mais je suis toujours dans le même endroit; cette fois dans la ville de Guyancourt ....des arbres au fisheye.
Often Tree Swallows are pretty frenetic, but this guy was brave enough to still long enough for me to focus.

I have an odd relationship with forests and trees. I am fascinated by them. I seek refuge amongst the quiet corners of the Pacific Northwest forests. Living in Portland, Oregon I am surrounded by forests and trees. I am reminded how intimately this city lives with its trees every time I fly home into it and see the large expanses of greenery dotted by city lights.
But I am a bit scared by forests while I am fascinated by them. Trees are a bit alien, forests can be dark and foreboding. We take it for granted that these living things aren't solemnly standing there watching us. But who amongst us knows if a tree thinks and if it does, what it might be thinking of us wanderers or trespassers.
For this week I figured I would share some of my images I have made amongst trees. Some are pretty, some are eerie, some are surreal, all are just the tip of the iceberg in describing how I feel out in the forests.
This image is from a series I made called Old Mend of the Forest, a series of portraits I did of stumps in the Hoh Rainforest on the Olympic Peninsula. You can see the full set here:

These Tree Swallows are migrating north for the summer and were taking a rest in this tree. I would have overlooked them except for their chatter.

Tyntesfield is a Victorian Gothic Revival house and estate near Wraxall, North Somerset, England. The house is a Grade I listed building named after the Tynte baronets, who had owned estates in the area since about 1500. The location was formerly that of a 16th-century hunting lodge, which was used as a farmhouse until the early 19th century. In the 1830s a Georgian mansion was built on the site, which was bought by English businessman William Gibbs, whose huge fortune came from guano used as fertilizer. In the 1860s Gibbs had the house significantly expanded and remodelled; a chapel was added in the 1870s. The Gibbs family owned the house until the death of Richard Gibbs in 2001.
Tyntesfield was purchased by the National Trust in June 2002, after a fundraising campaign to prevent it being sold to private interests and ensure it would be open to the public. The house was opened to visitors for the first time just 10 weeks after the acquisition, and as more rooms are restored they are added to the tour.
The mansion was visited by 189,329 people in 2012, a fall of 8.5 per cent on the previous year

Thank you Dorotodo www.flickr.com/photos/dorotodo/ for identifying the "light bulb"!!!
This blossom is a banana tree flower, the size of it was quite amazing, it is almost as big as a medium sized water melon. It was illuminated by the sun and looked a bit like a light bulb in the palm tree.. :-)
This was a strange thing to come across on a beach, three perfectly good lemons placed on a driftwood tree. Quite a long way from anywhere with no evidence of a picnic or a drinking spree around? The mind boggles!
