Digital Photograph...The Tree



Trees, I have a passion for them. The past couple of years as I travel I look for that "tree". The one sitting out in the middle of a field. It's branches spreading out and up. Giving shelter from the heat of the day. I have not found the perfect tree, yet. I have found a lot of beautiful trees. This one sits on a hill along the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Thank you! I too have a thing for trees. I have sent you an email Cynthia about PhotoShop and textures. If there are any other questions let me know.

Another beautiful capture, Elizabeth! Reminds me of Joyce Kilmer's poem, "The Tree" and my favorite lines: "A tree that looks at God all day, and lifts her leafy arms to pray; A tree that may in Summer wear a nest of robins in her hair." Hugs, Terri xoxo

I'm a tree lover too and share your passion for discovering trees along the journey. I worked with an 86 year old woman that has Joyce Kilmer's poems "Trees" and "The House With Nobody In It" memorized and would recite them often. The House poem is perfect for your recent photo a few entries below.
