I end my safari experience in Madikwe, South Africa with this unusual tree captured at sunset. Marie, my guide, just knew I would be thrilled when i saw this unusual wild creation of nature. i am sorry to say that she didn't tell me the story behind how it was created. Maybe having it be a mystery is more appropriate for such a wild thing.
in future days, I'll start adding pictures of Mozambique and when they are completed we will return to South Africa with more safari scenes.
"Our Christmas tree, stood straight and tall,
We had it standing in the hall,
With decorations, sparkling bright,
And baubles, glittering in the light,
Rich tinsel laced around branches wide,
With bells and bows, that could be spied
Hiding among the dark green pine,
In silver and gold, boldly they did shine,
And at the very top, such a wondrous sight,
A star was placed there, which gave delight.
The whole effect so pleasured the eye.
We planted it outside, now it's 18 feet high.
This year it will once again, be a thrill,
Hung with big coloured lights, in the crisp winter chill."

In my search for the ultimate Aspen tree capture, I headed towards Southern Colorado in the San Juan Mountains for these images. The colors started to pop towards the end of the trip and the only thing we didn't get was snowfall in the upper elevations. The first one is a wide pano of a grove of Aspen trees with some great colors in the foliage. We took Laci's Rav 4 on a few mountain passes and for the first time put the car in "trail mode" which was a lot of fun. Who else is a fan of these trees?

Small stand of trees captured with the rising sun near the village of Kettleshulme. It's clear how the wind has shaped the trees.
The orange color on this tree captured my attention while driving home. (Best in large)
Thanks for your visit and taking the time to comment so I can visit your photos, too... very much appreciated! Have a great day!🙋♀️
I watched as this Red-Tailed Hawk grabbed a junco from under our birdfeeders. I went to get the camera and she was still up in a tree with her capture. She swiveled her head around to make sure I was not going to interfere with her lunch.

During a wander around a local wood, on a misty moody morning, I came across this facade of a small house nestled into the root of this tree. It raises the question “who lives in a place like this?” Well, obviously from the sign on the door, Penny.
A quiet, foggy road disappearing into the mist, surrounded by dark silhouettes of trees. Captured on Minolta Dynax 700si with Agfa APX 100 film for a timeless, moody atmosphere.
Colors in the clouds over the peaks, with some low light on the lone pine tree. Captured in Banff National Park.

I'll be home for Christmas
You can count on me
Please have snow
And mistletoe
And presents 'neath the tree

I live near Portland, OR, and have been eagerly watching the Japanese Garden, waiting for the perfect moment when the fall colors hit their peak. Today, they may have not been at their peak, but I loved the variation in color! Despite the relentless rain, which soaked everything in sight, the weather turned out to be a blessing in disguise—it kept the crowds away, leaving me to enjoy the peaceful beauty almost entirely on my own. Here’s my interpretation of the iconic tree, captured in all its vibrant glory amidst the rain-soaked tranquility.
From this morning's drive: I spotted the Songdal River fog and darted down into this field where I walked a 90 degree arc around this tree capturing multiple exposures. These are then treated using my secret blend of herbs and spices and overlaid to produce the final image in Pep Ventosa style!
Standing alone yet proud in the calm waters of Lake Wanaka, the iconic Wanaka Tree captures the essence of quiet resilience. Framed by serene reflections and distant mountains, this beloved symbol of New Zealand’s South Island offers a moment of stillness and beauty that speaks to the soul. Whether basking in golden light or shrouded in mist, it remains timeless in its quiet grace.
The North Island's not so famous tree captured on the Minolta Alpha 9. Having photographed this 2 or 3 times previously on digital, I decided to try analogue!

Eagle heads up into the branches with its fish in tow. The soft morning lighting and tracking by the camera made this pretty capture possible. Liked how the dead leaves and branches here combined to make a painted looking bokeh too as the eagle makes it way into the trees.

Our plans to visit the Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge were thwarted by road work, so we pivoted to the Llano Seco Unit. On our way, something incredible caught our eye: a huge, empty nest perched by the Sacramento River. Right across from it, a magnificent Osprey sat atop a tree.
Capturing this moment was a challenge, as we were on a narrow bridge on a very busy road. We had to carefully time our stop, waiting for a lull in traffic to quickly pull over and snap a picture of this awesome find.
I have returned to my favourite, magical location, the secret little world enclosed by the lazy meanders of the river Adda just downstream the eastern arm of the lake Como (its real name being Lario), just before it begins to flow into the Padan Plain. It is a hidden gem under everyone's eyes - surrounded as it is by busy roads, towns, and productive sites, as soon as you get on the river's banks you feel like you have entered an entirely different world. I think that the wetlands nestled between the meanders have preserved the place, making it less than amenable to settlements (but very amenable to a sheer variety of birds).
At 5° C and a substantially clean sky, I would have bet on the place being very misty, as it almost always is at early morning. Luckily I didn't, since I would have lost. The air was crystal clear, the place devoid of its usual mysterious ambiance (visit my album Silent banks to get an idea). I was lucky enough that Autumn was extremely generous with its treasures, and my sunrise session was not to go wasted, after all.
I was walking downstream, almost convinced that it was time to go back home, when a couple of twin old, large plane trees captured my attention. While framing, in the most serendipitous way, I was abruptly aware of the interplay of lights and shadows that was quietly unfolding behind my back while I was walking, a perfect yin and yang of day and night at the boundary between the two opposite poles - and that golden, fiery speck of a young plane tree right at the center of the dance, set against the dark hillside. Since such light conditions can last mere minutes, I hurriedly set up my tripod to capture the drama, not caring about the grass in the foreground being decently sharp or not.
I hope that you enjoy this new post of mine and wish you a nice Sunday.
I have processed this picture by blending an exposure bracketing [-1.3/-0.67/0/+0.67/+1.3 EV] by luminosity masks with the Gimp (EXIF data, as usual, refer to the "normal" exposure shot), then I added some final touches with Nik Color Efex Pro 4.
Along the journey I tried the inverted RGB blue channel technique described by Boris Hajdukovic, which has contributed a lot to the rendering of the trees and reflections on the right side of the framing, enhancing the light transfixing the foliage. Raw files processed with Darktable.
Shot for Smile on Saturday, theme "capture the time"
As time passes, trees grow and build circles around the center every year. Based on these circles, the exact age of the tree can be determined. So, in a way, trees capture time in their inner system.
Stanway Gloucestershire has a cricket ground that possesses a pavilion, which is built on staddle stones, and was the gift of the author J. M. Barrie who stayed at Stanway House in the 1920s.
Here is once again a view of my beloved solitary tree, captured as summer was coming to an end. The photo, taken with a Polaroid 1000 Land Camera, remains one of my most treasured moments. To my great sorrow, I have now discovered that this wonderful old maple has been cut down — such a heartbreaking piece of news.
The American baseballer might have been referring to the Northland's winters. Another 4 inches (10 cm) of fresh white coated the trees again yesterday, putting a temporary halt to the thaw happily finally begun. As I view this scene from my deck, the sun is out, the temperature rising, the snow is already dropping from the trees, and the icicles have resumed their dripping as several feet of snow begins its descent from the roof. We've a long way to go, but I believe it may be that Spring has finally decided to take a stand.
[Note: For those thinking the green in yesterday's image represented new leaves, allow me to gently disabuse you of that notion. It was the pine trees captured by the light creating the illusion. It will be some time yet before any new foliage is seen on our deciduous friends. As you can see here, the oaks haven't even shed last year's foliage.]
