tree art...

...in the clouds

bark reflecting off the sun

sometimes trees simply speak to me - they call my name - this one was no exception -

it shimmered against the deep blue of the sky - billowing formation of clouds - the starkness of the limb being barren - highlighting the deep charcoal coloring - all of it combined into a simple art form which touched me - and sometimes that's all it takes - when you know it's going to be the one that steals the show - you hope it translates on the upload - in the way your eye originally saw it - somehow you'll be able to do it justice - then are pleased...

when you find - other than a mere crop - the camera has picked up your vision - exactly as you observed it - being able to post straight out of the camera - is always a thrill for me - to not fuss - no post-processing - allowing the picture to speak for itself - to tell the story - now that's what makes for...

a

happy day.....
