Very few leaves remain, and those that do, cling, as if refusing to surrender to death.

Refusing to surrender …a fitting description of your tree which appears to be straining to hang on Mike.

The tree is there, but the accessories have vanished. It feels a bit naked.

Wind really stripped away the leaves from those trees. We still have lots with leaves yet.

Way cool, beautiful image. I like the way the tree in the foreground is leaning over as if it has something to say to the shorter plants.

What it might be saying is “I have provided protection from the harsh sun and the heavy rains. I have grown to not only be your protector, but a proud older brother. Now the winter will require that we all find sleep. Still, do not forget that even in my rest I will continue to love you and come the spring we will once again sing with joy.”

I like that. Very much. What a wonderful tree. And a wonderful you, to guess what the tree might be saying. 🙂

Hi James. Thank you my friend.
By the way, just got a 16×20 print made of Pumpkin’s birthday portrait and the k10 is such that I could have gone larger than that and still had a sharp image.

You know Mike, I have a couple of 30″ x 40″ landscapes I took using the K10D and I must say the quality is outstanding – even close up. It is s superb camera – and handy weapon too 🙂

We are like the trees. Eventually our branches wither and our trunks have decay. I am an old oak. Which tree represents you?

Rubber tree. Cut me and I’ll bleed some but I continue to grow, scars and all.

I like how this works, and the title. It’s surreal and mysterious.

That is nice to hear, Maria. The title I like as well and surreal and mysterious are qualities I’m always looking for. Thanks for taking the time, generous one.
