    I do like your tree photographs. These are all nice.

    my Memories
    I wrote in my Memories blog about the roads of my youth and how they were to travel in the winter time.

    I agree those trees have a great deal of charactor. You brought even more charactor to them showing them in Monochrome. Great job. Smiles B

    I love bare trees in a field so much and you captured these so well. I usually don't see trees that I can photograph as individuals except as I drive by. I have a lot of trees near me but they are all clustered. There is something particularly beautiful when they are in an open field.

    Personality is right. The one on the right looks like it's flipping off the one on the left!

    I love old gnarly trees like this... so much character and attitude.

    And perfect in black and white!

    Absolute gift of a picture. Looks more like father and son to me - there is a kind of echo of the larger tree in the smaller.
    Very beautiful.

    They're just like survivors as everything else has disappear. As an ultimate will to resist to this white tide.
    Great B&W shot, it tells all the story we can imagine with.

    I love those trees! And that bridge is made even brighter in the snow! Aren't you always amazed that duck butts don't freeze? :)

    Trees have such wonderful shapes. I see one I really want to take a picture of, but it's along the highway and there isn't anywhere to pull off. These are great!
