Even the golden leaves of this lovely tree captured at Lanercost Priory in Northumberland, UK several years ago cannot lighten the sadness that I feel today at the news that my favorite nephew has cancer.
"Autumn embraces change, even as she is falling to pieces."

"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."
- Ernestine Northover, Our Christmas Tree

Here is another interesting tree capture from that same winter walk as my previous picture. It was a great atmospheric morning, just me and the freshly snow covered countryside.
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.
Small stand of trees captured with the rising sun near the village of Kettleshulme. It's clear how the wind has shaped the trees.

This pair of trees captures my attention each time I pass. Their trunks have split and opened, and their growth is strange and twisted, yet they bud and leaf come the spring. Captured here framing another tree behind.

If you like my photographs, why not consider buying a print of one of my images at captures.life? Please note that I haven't yet finished building the site and putting in all of the terms and conditions and policies, but the bits that involve buying a print, having it delivered, and contacting me if anything goes wrong are working just fine...
A lone Hawthorn tree, captured at Went Hill, Birling Gap.
Special thanks to Edd Allen for directions....and thanks for viewing :-)
This is the drooping cherry tree captured in my back garden this morning.
Can I ask regular contacts not to fave old photos of mine please? Over a week ago I posted this ( in comments) in the Help Forum but still it hasn't been resolved so I'm having to make 3 whole 365 sets visible manually .😏 Many thanks.
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.
I'll be home for Christmas
You can count on me
Please have snow
And mistletoe
And presents 'neath the tree
Captured inTiny Crisp Kringle at Frogmore
My eldest daughter and I hiked down along the Gunpowder River this afternoon into the evening. This is one of the first of many spots we stopped at to take some captures.
The light through the trees here was lovely, and did my best to capture it from in the river and under this tree.
Captured with the 9 Stop ND to smooth out the flowing water ... and also resulted in the lens flare that I liked in this image, so did not clone it out.

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.
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.
An old tree and Utah red rock and sand. I am attracted to old dead trees. Captured in September 2020, with a film era Pentax-F 50mm/F1.4. (K1AC8409)

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!
I reflection of my favourite tree captured in the sunglasses of my wife. Taken in Norfolk, England between the villages of Barney and Fulmodeston.
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.

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.
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.]
That Wanaka tree captured on film! I'm sure this must be the most photographed tree in the world - so many people photographing it at all times of the day.
The Rolleiflex certainly grabbed attention and often when I had it out a conversation with a stranger would ensue!

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.
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.
Hopton Castle is situated in the village of the same name in Shropshire.England. Hopton Castle featured in the British TV series Time Team in 2010. A ruin since the early 18th century, it was partially restored between 2006 and 2011, and was officially re-opened to the public .In the
Civil War it was garrisoned for Parliament, besieged by the Royalist forces for three weeks, and refused an offer of honorable quarter in return for surrender, preferring to fight to the last man. Every man of the garrison was killed and the castle slighted and abandoned.
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.
