Day 19
After church this morning I stopped by a tree farm to take some photos. I love walking around with the fresh scent of pine in the air. It is a beautiful day today and it was nice to spend some time outside.
Get outside and enjoy the sun and the air. It needs so snow!
This tree is outside every day with no panties. Absolutely scandalous. What would John Ashcroft say? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Ashcroft#Spirit_of_Justice_cen...
I took a tree for a guide - I mean
Gazing sideways, I had chosen idly...
...I walked on,
Taking my bearings from that trunk
And, as I moved, the tree moved too
Alongside, or it seemed to do...

A tree at Hoskote Lake.
Just under it are five Wood Sandpipers. For the cynical, my friend has an excellent close-up of one of the birds. And behind, somewhere at the right side middle is a perched Great Cormorant.
Snapped this on one of my walks. Somedays, its really beautiful right in my own back yard. Paths leading to Lake Benson, Garner, NC
When Stourhead first opened in the 1740s, a magazine described it as ‘a living work of art’. The world-famous landscape garden has at its centrepiece a magnificent lake reflecting classical temples, mystical grottoes, and rare and exotic trees, and offers a day of fresh air and discovery.
Stourhead is the best example of a garden inspired by the great landscape painters of the seveneeenth century. Ernst Gombrich suggests it should bear the signature of an Italianized French painter: Claude Lorrain (1600-82). The Stourhead garden was made by a wealthy English banker who had been buying works of art in Italy at the time he inherited the Stourhead estate. Henry Hoare II's 'Claudian' garden was made in an unusually well-proportioned valley behind the house. The Temple of Flora at Stourhead was made in 1745 and the grotto in 1748. But the key date was 1754, when the lake and the Pantheon were made. It is based on the Pantheon in Rome and the planned walk through the estate is based on the journey of Rome's legendry founder, Aeneas. The five-arched bridge was made in 1762 and the Temple of Apollo in 1765. Gothic features were added later in the century: Alfred's Tower, a Rustic Cottage and a Hermitage.The Stourhead woods were underplanted with Rhododendron ponticum after 1791 and with more exotic species in the twentieth century.

A tree that I spotted against a gorgeous rock backdrop, in Canyonlands National Park, in Utah.
This is a scanned slide, taken back in 1995.
Isolated but perfect.
Who cares about 'rule of thirds' - this photo is about the tree so it gets center stage
Annnnd, the Christmas tree is up and decorated - pre-Thanksgiving. I don't even know why I did it, since I'll be visiting my sister and her family during Christmas. I guess I just like looking at the bright, colorful lights during the darker time of the year. Plus, it makes for some great photo ops! And yes, that's a suitecase and part of a studio light umbrella on the right side of the image - I felt it was appropriate: I travel whenever I can and I used the studio lights for some portraits. Besides, the festive suitcase hides the electric cords.

I love trees best in spring, when coiled buds
Thrust spears towards the sun; or in the fall,
When mottled leaves lie drowned in autumn floods;
Or during drowsy summer's blowsy sprawl;
Or dozing boughs, snow laden and at rest.
At all times, you might say - I love trees best!
