A lone tree, captured with the Fuji X-E2 in very windy conditions earlier this year on The Roaches - beautiful light and a stunning place.

I struggled all my life to climb my family tree

Wondering on the way up if it was worth the climb;

When I came across stark branches that broke at my grasp

I then wondered if it was all a waste of my time.

As I tried again to climb up another way

I found that some branches were often full of sap and rotten to the core.

So I scaled down knowing that I was the better man for trying to climb

I am not a stark branch on the family tree.. now of that I am completely sure.

California Sycamore Trees, Captured with SMC Takumar 55mm 1.8

A macro Mondays submission on the topic "liquid". A water drop on a tree captures an image of another tree.

Autumn in Solna. Like the colors of the trees - captured with Dia

This picture was taken from the garden of the Monastery of Utstein on one of the islands outside Stavanger. The roots of the trees captured my attention.

I’ve taken multiple images of this location in Yellowstone, and I’ve always loved this scene. In the past, I thought the fallen tree captured my attention. However, during this trip, I realized that while the snow-covered fallen tree initially drew my eye, the imagination of a journey down the trail amid the purifying snow-covered trees is what truly tells the story.

There was once a tree that attempted to capture the moon. The moon was too far away and she laughed at the ridiculous tree. Taken in the winter season, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada.

A single palm tree, captured on my last trip to the Canary Islands in Spain this January. Looks like a postcard, doesn't it?

This dead mangrove tree captured my eye on the mud flat at low tide.

Starting a mini quartet with this floating tree captured on 120-film with a 250mm lens. It's from the same position as I captured the large 8x10 panorama the other day. This is looking east. North, west and south views will follow over the next few days.

Photo of Big Lagoon, looking west towards the Pacific Ocean (which is on the other side of the thin strip of land and on the other side of the trees), captured on the Big Lagoon Bridge on U.S. Highway 101, the Redwood Highway, via Minolta MD Rokkor-X 50mm F/1.7 lens and the bracketing method of photography in the census-designated place of Big Lagoon. Humboldt County. Late November 2014.

Surrounded by rocks and water these trees never were able to keep get a good root system and grasp on the surround land. This winter season uprooted and washed away these trees. Captured near Bradford Beach in Milwaukee, WI.

The light in the tree captured my attention

I was watching a video from Nightscape Images (jump over and check out Richard's work it's awesome) earlier today and one of the locations was Lake Lonsdale next the Grampians and it reminded me of a photo I captured and edited back in April but had yet to share.

The tree captures the eye very quickly but because I was there in the middle of the day and there were no clouds I had to find something else to make the image interesting and nature provided with a few small pools of water! The red along the edges and bottom was just a bonus!

An alternative crop of this majestic tree, captured in the thick fog during the week.

Hope you're all having a good weekend and enjoying the lead up to Christmas.

We're all off to see the new Hobbit film at the cinema today - can't wait!

And I’m talking about Texas. One of the shots that I held back from vacation. These trees are simply stunning in person and bringing out their beauty is always a challenge. A Jacaranda Tree captured on Maui in Hawaii. If you would like to know more about the Jacaranda Tree you can follow the link below to Wikipedia. This tree is not native to Hawaii but grows so beautifully in the islands.

Just a small guy roaming in a large, large, world, chasing his goals and dreams.

Phantom Ship and Crater Lake. Ever since seeing Ken Burns' PBS special on the national parks, I'd dreamed of seeing Crater Lake and the beauty of this national park. Then I saw it and realized the amazing beauty and wildness of this place in Oregon and the Pacific NW. So one morning I was driving along Rim Drive taking in views here and there and enjoying a hike when I could. This is at an overlook to Phantom Ship with a backdrop of the caldera walls. When there, one can see the amazing landscape this place has, but the blue waters is always where the eyes are ultimately taken. I took multiple images when I captured the original to make an HDR image located here on Flickr (www.flickr.com/photos/14723335@N05/9003702520/in/album-72...).

To the painting though, I continued to practice more and more using broader painting type strokes and allowing the contrasts between highlights, midtowns and shadows to capture in digital painting what I captured with an image and photo. You'll notice that more with the mountainside and portion with the trees going up that mountainside. I also found a chance to practice more with trees capturing a general outline and using highlights and shadows to bring a painting allusion of details. I feel I'm getting better with clouds and water, but it's still a work in progress...

In the left foreground of the painting, you'll find that stick figure image of me "hiking" with my Cubbies hat, loving my time in the mountains of the Oregon :-)

Mercedes 180 oldtimer underneath orange tree, captured @ Larnaca, Cyprus.

Hi friends! Spent a week on Cyprus, an Eurasian island country in the Mediterranean Sea and southeasternmost part of Europe. We went there for the weather (18-22 degrees) and for its rich history and archeological sites. Our home base was near Limassol, in the south of the island.

Funny thing is that Cyprus is partitioned into two main parts; the area under the effective control of the Republic of Cyprus, comprising about 59% of the island's area, and the Turkish-controlled area in the north, calling itself the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus and recognised only by Turkey, covering about 36% of the island's area.

As Cyprus is a former British colony, they still drive on the left (in the north too!) so the first couple of days it was pretty hard to adapt, but I managed to succeed without accidents :)
