Sydney Cherry Blossom Festival is on over two weekends. I visited there last Sunday. Amazing number of people and I barely saw the flowers. I visited again yesterday (on Monday). Very cloudy but quiet and peaceful morning.

If I look closely I do have colors 💚❄💚❄

This towering, neighborhood tree stands on a vacant lot dwarfing the other trees around it. I often wonder what stories it could tell and how it came to dominate the horizon, defying storms and the sawblade. It has a covering of new leaves now, which gives me hope that my country and our democracy will endure through this time of "Trumpian" darkness.

"Trees are sanctuaries, whoever learns how to listen to them, can learn the truth."

~ Winston Churchill

This tree went down in a summer storm a few years ago. Now it looks like a tree man standing out in our field. Especially in a snow storm like the one we had yesterday.

Getting this type of perspective might be challenging as it requires a longer focal length to get a compression effect.

The sky was blue and the leaves green intense, but I decided to turn it into my black and white.

We got walloped with a huge snow storm and a foot of snow a few days ago - even the birds were taking shelter!

Tree in the state of dormancy at sunrise.

Just two trees seemingly on their own sitting on the hillside . I stumbled across these and I just love trees so wanted to grab a capture albeit in the misty rain. This was when we hiked through the mountains in Glencoe.

PS: Away now travelling for the next few days to Phoenix so wont be online much but will try catch up as and when I can my flickr friends.

The moor lake reflecting the autumnal trees around. This lake has something mystical to me..

the imposing cropping is intended to envelop the viewer and help develop a more immediate connection with the photograph.

This view up into the tall tree today was enough to make me come back and get some captures.

"The color of springtime is in the flowers: the color of winter is in the imagination."

Glenfinnan viaduct on the banks of Loch Shiel in Scotland. The viaduct was built by Sir Robert McAlpine who was also known as concrete Bob. The viaduct itself was made famous by the Harry Potter films. The steam train on the viaduct is the Jacobite Express which was used in the Harry Potter films as the Hogwarts Express. This train runs twice a day and when it does it attracts huge crowds in the hills and valley around the viaduct. Glenfinnan is also the valley that Bonnie Prince Charlie first raised his standard in Scotland and you can see the monument to this event from the Jacobite express.
