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!

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.
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.]
This little copse of backlit Autumnal trees captured my eye while walking in the North Wessex Downs near Baydon. The background trees were pointed out to me as looking like little lollipops, so the name stuck.

I've been teaching Poppy photography, take a look at her Flickr.
When visiting the gorgeous and rugged Southland region recently, we made a trip to Lake Monowai, an approx. 45 min drive from Te Anau. Lake Monowai and surrounding forests, are part of Fiordland National Park and Te Wāhipounamu – South West New Zealand – World Heritage area. This special part of Southland is known for its remote mountainous beauty and hydroelectric history. Also a great fishing spot! We experienced drizzle moody weather when we arrived late morning for our walk. Perfect conditions for some experimentation with long exposure. I loved this section of the track with old trees captured over time by the water. Very special.

Thank you once again to everyone for taking the time to view & comment, it is really appreciated Dean
A brilliant red Japanese maple, with the colourful windows in the Chemistry building at UBC as a backdrop, captured my attention. Along came a young man and the tree captured his attention also. As he held and considered a single leaf before capturing it with his phone camera, I captured the whole tableau.
A forest kingfisher (Todiramphus macleayii) taken some time ago at the Eagleby Wetlands.
Here he is seen leaving his nest in the termite nest (arboreal termitaria) attached to the tree.
Captured with the Nikon D810 and the Nikkor 200-500mm f/5.6E ED VR AF-S lens.
Will be nice when we can travel more freely and not be concerned with COVID-19.

Cypress Trees capture my attention like no other. Growing in the water, often in places where they are never on dry land. The trees at Lake Moultrie have been a subject of mine several times, this time I was able to get much closer to them. This stand of 3 were the subject for longer than any other, a pair of healthy trees, flanked by one that was not as full, with just a little distance between them.
The meandering branch shapes of this shapely little dogwood tree captured my attention. A painterly treatment enhances the way the blossoms top off the tips of the branches. All put together, this little tree has the air of a dancer.

Merry Christmas! How about some colors in the gray winter season. Captured in mid-October in Gothenburg.
Regarded as a pesr bird in Southern Australian they are mainly found in cereal ggrowing areas and are often seen in flocks sitting on powerlines or in trees.
Captured at Black Point, SA.
A capture of our first snowfall a few weeks ago while there were still autumn leaves left on the trees. Captured one morning a few blocks from home on the Iowa River with my iPhone. Winter is here, but I'd much rather hang onto fall a while longer.
Location: On a farm near Durbanville.

A neighbor's crabapple tree. Captured this one on my morning walk with Boucle today.
Magical time of year with all the pink blossoms on trees.

Though many places had mist and fog in the Midlands on the 29th December, where I live had very little, but instead the day dawned bright and cold. I was hoping for enough mist to capture a few sunbeams, but instead caught a beautiful hazy glow just as the sun broke the horizon. I was able to contrast the resulting warm colours with the cold, frosty ground and icy trees, capturing this almost magical scene of Winter beauty.
For you Abby, you always loved it here.

I still remember that moment, when the distant cluster of trees captured my attention. To me, it feels like they're balancing on that sharp ridge.

This huge tree captured my attention during my hike at Tualatin River National Wildlife Refuge.
It reminds me the Ents that appear in The Lord of the Rings as ancient shepherds of the forest. Their name is derived from the Anglo-Saxon word for giant (Wikipedia).
Well I'm a nerd and a fan of J. R. R. Tolkien :-D.
Southern yellow-billed hornbill (Tockus leucomelas) in an acacia tree. Captured in May in Etosha National Park, Namibia, Africa. We found these birds to be somewhat shy, and they flew away at even a slow, stealthy approach in our truck. We did manage to capture a few good shots, and this was one of them.
Thank you for viewing, and many thanks for comments, positive or negative, as they are all a learning experience.

This captivating photograph showcases the delicate beauty of spring in a park north of Atlanta. The image is framed by vibrant green leaves from what appears to be a deciduous tree, likely a poplar or maple, creating a natural archway at the top of the frame. The leaves are backlit by sunlight, giving them a luminous quality that highlights their fresh spring color and delicate veining.
Below this verdant canopy, the scene opens to reveal a picturesque landscape of mixed forest. Tall Georgia pines with their distinctive dark green needles stand sentinel among lighter green deciduous trees that have recently leafed out in their spring foliage. The varying heights and textures of the trees create a layered effect that adds depth to the composition.
The sky above is a serene pale blue with just a few wispy white clouds, indicating the perfect spring day that's neither too hot nor too cool. The quality of light suggests mid-afternoon when the sun is still high but beginning its gradual descent, casting a warm glow across the landscape.
This perspective, looking up and outward from beneath a tree, captures that peaceful moment of respite that parks provide—a chance to lie back, perhaps on a blanket, and gaze up at nature's architecture. The photo beautifully encapsulates the essence of springtime in Georgia's northern suburbs, where urban dwellers can escape to find tranquility among the trees, especially welcome as April brings the full expression of the season's renewal.
The composition masterfully balances the intimate foreground of delicate leaves with the expansive view of the forest and sky beyond, creating a sense of both shelter and openness that characterizes the best moments spent in nature.
Before sunrise on a cold, clear autumn morning, fog rolled in and out of the Valley’s many meadows, providing an ethereal quality to these beautiful fall trees captured with my telephoto.
This is the time to leave your home and take a short trip to an outdoor nature place like this, or just do it in your imagination…right now.
