A Tree for All Seasons

[David Humphries]

What, if anything in particular, triggered the taking of repeated photos of certain trees? A desire for a record/ work related/ favourite trees you see regularly etc etc?

 

 

Tom, I think it's partly about getting the clocks of two completely disparate life forms tuned in together.

 

Shooting Trees gives me a beter understanding of what's going on around us.

 

I can sense the feeling of boredom descending on the lads in the Team when I pull over, get the camera out, and go imortalise a brief moment in a trees life.

 

Really pleased that what I see, can be shared with people who appreciate it.

I know what your saying here!

 

I have a tendancy for slamming on breaks and bumping curbs at a moments notice whenever I see an awsome tree or fungus from the vehicles!

 

Thats what I love about this forum, unlike at work, here I can show and share and discuss the things i see and discover with others that are truly pasionate about these things.

 

While the lads have their lunch im off on mini adventures seeking em out, stopping at the "wild woods" on my way home. I just cant get enough of it, and the more i see and learn the deeper the bug grips me.

 

Thank god for the trees! what the hell would i do otherwise!

A couple of fine Oaks, deadhedged to keep people off the root plates at this busy shared access between two different open spaces.

Your pics as others have abley pointed out are quite breathtakingly beautiful David, you are (as I am sure you know) blessed to be the custodian of such magnificent veteran and ancient trees....yes I am very very envious!

 

The pictures of your current cold spell are addictive to anyone here in the Australian heat...I cannot recipricate since our seasons in Queensland are to say the least subtle.
