It is very simple to distinguish the different species of tree through this silhouette and I think that is what makes it interesting to tree lovers.
For tree lovers, The Scott Arboretum on the campus of Swarthmore College is a special treat for visitors to the Philadelphia area.
I'm still discovering nice moments of our trip to Cape Lookout.
I love to see here my husband and my kids enjoying the beautiful forest (And the photographer as a shadow haha).
My husband doesn't like photos but he support me in different ways so I can learn more about this hobby. He is the love of my life and my best friend.
ODC Theme: Trees
Taken 3 March 2013
I'm so over trees...so you get what's left after 2 days of lopping and chopping. See the last ODC for equipment shot. Sorry to all tree lovers, I actually loved this one but it was split at the base and had to go. It'll be replacing it with smaller red maples. SOOC. Just the watermark added and compressed for Flickr.
Enjoy...best viewed large.
For tree lovers only. Nothing to see here but maple trees! This is the same lane as shown in the painting and photo.
While we were hiking in Marquam trail we saw this old tree with an strange figure. Then closer we saw like a sad face and an skeleton.
I know this is my imagination but it was like an old tree in pain. Maybe it is because all the bad things we are doing to our forests and planet.

Acer palmatum var. atropurpureum "Bloodgood"

Of the many MANY trees in my yard, this is my favorite tree.
It is seriously the most beautiful tree that I have ever seen.
Which would explain why it is so popular among tree lovers.
I've heard that they are 'hard to grow'.
Over the years many people have offered my family quite a bit of money for it, I'm assuming because of it's size, beauty & health. However, my family has always declined - and I know why.
I would never want to see this beauty go..
She's almost like magic to me.
Over 100 species of trees in the Smokies! I was in Heaven.....I LOVE trees!

Wild Dreams of a New Beginning
There's a breathless hush on the freeway tonight
Beyond the ledges of concrete
restaurants fall into dreams
with candlelight couples
Lost Alexandria still burns
in a billion lightbulbs
Lives cross lives
idling at stoplights
Beyond the cloverleaf turnoffs
'Souls eat souls in the general emptiness'
A piano concerto comes out a kitchen window
A yogi speaks at Ojai
'It's all taking pace in one mind'
On the lawn among the trees
lovers are listening
for the master to tell them they are one
with the universe
Eyes smell flowers and become them
There's a deathless hush
on the freeway tonight
as a Pacific tidal wave a mile high
sweeps in
Los Angeles breathes its last gas
and sinks into the sea like the Titanic all lights lit
Nine minutes later Willa Cather's Nebraska
sinks with it
The sea comes over in Utah
Mormon tabernacles washed away like barnacles
Coyotes are confounded & swim nowhere
An orchestra onstage in Omaha
keeps on playing Handel's Water Music
Horns fill with water
ans bass players float away on their instruments
clutching them like lovers horizontal
Chicago's Loop becomes a rollercoaster
Skyscrapers filled like water glasses
Great Lakes mixed with Buddhist brine
Great Books watered down in Evanston
Milwaukee beer topped with sea foam
Beau Fleuve of Buffalo suddenly become salt
Manhatten Island swept clean in sixteen seconds
buried masts of Amsterdam arise
as the great wave sweeps on Eastward
to wash away over-age Camembert Europe
manhatta steaming in sea-vines
the washed land awakes again to wilderness
the only sound a vast thrumming of crickets
a cry of seabirds high over
in empty eternity
as the Hudson retakes its thickets
and Indians reclaim their canoes
—Lawrence Ferlinghetti
(Poet Laureate of San Francisco)
The evening glow lights up the sleeping giants that line the cypress swamp canoe trail at the Cache River Wetlands.
There's something magical about Southern Illinois. Just thinking about the special places and the uniqueness of the landscape with its diverse forests and geology takes me there. Being able to revisit those places through imagery is all the more mesmerizing. I hope you experience the same sense of magic and wonderment in this image that I do. Like, I wonder what it would be like to paddle the swamp? What mysterious creatures live under the green carpet? Where are the other giants that live in the wetlands? And I hope you like the dreamy mood.
Note for tree lovers... the Cache River Wetlands is home to a total of eleven state champion trees.
The city of The Hague has, according to the municipality' records, 1292 monumental trees. For me that was actually quite a surprising fact. During the Second World War and especially in the Dutch famine of 1944, a lot of trees were used for fire wood. Also the borough of "Bezuidenhout", where a lot of monumental trees are situated, was heavily bombed by mistake by the RAF.
This tree is also situated in Bezuidenhout, just on the edge of the city's centre. It is a Common lime tree or a "Hollandse Linde" as they say in Dutch. Its Latin name is "Tilia × europaea". This tree has ID-number 6347 (so, tree lovers can easily dig into this specific case;-) and it has the obvious nickname "Linde".
On the basis of dendrochronological research the tree was dated to have been planted around 1870 ± 5 years and is therefore around 145 ± 5 years old. It has a circumference of 3,53 meters, with an average growth of 1cm per year. It's height is currently 19.80m.
Although Linde survived the war history, in recent years it had to cope with several other threads. For instance, an adjacent traffic tunnel (the Koningstunnel) was originally planned in such a way that "Linde" had to be felled. But after much public protest the tunnel was re-planned so that it could be maintained.
Furthermore, Linde has seen its share of high-rises being build next to it. First the Resident project with Castalia (104 meters) and the Zurich Tower, after that the Hoftoren (142m) and the latest additions are the Wijnhavenkwartier (146 m) and New Babylon (142m and including the mast 156m).
Therefore, I felt it was necessary to show that this magnificent tree has a prominent impact on this city's landscape. Linde is by all means still standing tall!
Technical stuff
I made this photo with the Sigma 15mm Fish-eye lens (with is suited for full frame cameras). Post-production included colortoning, a high-pass filtering, ajusting the light balance and a slight correction of the wide angle perspective.
.. and the rather magnificent Copper Beech tree. Oregon is a paradise for tree-lovers like me.
('73-'87) Chevrolet Scottsdale, Ford Escort ('80 - '85) and, err, some other thing.
Monkeys are not native to Australia, but that did not prevent the lovely people at the Nan Tien Buddhist Temple south of Sydney from releasing these wild tree lovers into the grounds. (This is the Chinese year of the Monkey so its seems fitting).

On Jan. 9, 1908, Pres. Theodore Roosevelt signed legislation establishing Muir Woods National Monument. William and Elizabeth Kent had donated the woods to save the trees, and asked that it be named after John Muir. Upon learning of its dedication, Mr. Muir declared, "This is the best tree-lovers monument that could possibly be found in all the forests of the world."
