        I love trees. Well I adore trees. They are a huge part of my life but sadly there are not enough. Lets see your trees.
        This is a conker tree (Horse Chestnut). In America the fruits, the conkers, are known as buckeyes

                    Thanks so much Rob , there is beauty in them woods when the light gets a chance to poke into those little pockets , i always think about the moments that must happen when we are not there to witness , it’s like being a fly on the wall  lol … nuts maybe but it keeps me going 🙂

                      Trees are one of the few things in the landscape that interest me , they are getting harder to find at least the good ones are , lots of over growth in places and trying to find a good separation between the subject and its surroundings is not easy to find , they you add the turbines , fences , electricity pylons 🙂

                                        I always love these sorts of textures in tree bark. Nicely seen and done.

                                          The banyan tree is a type of fig tree abundant along the canals of Bangkok. It’s a “killer” tree because when it grows on host trees, the mesh of roots often strangles and kills the host. Still, I can’t help finding the texture and intricacy of the roots very beautiful LOL

                                                  When you said “lets see your trees” , it was on Larry. I added the throwdown to your title based on that.

Yellowstone is a notoriously difficult place to photograph, harsh light form the altitude, restricted angles to shoot from due to controlled travel on pathways , and the crowded conditions, it broke a monthly record this May with a half a million visitors and has come close to over a million in one month in July. That equals lots of sitting in your car driving from feature to feature, just to find there is no where to park, and if you do get lucky and find a place the pathways resemble waiting lines at Disneyland. I don’t go there anymore.
