Is it wrong to have a favorite tree? For some reason it feels a bit like saying you have a favorite child if you have more than one. Unfair to the other trees.
But unfair or not, I do have an affinity for this tree. It’s just off the parking lot where I work and I’ve photographed it many times over the last couple of weeks. It has the most interesting branches, and a clear view behind it. I love those seed pod things (sorry, not a botanist) hanging in the top branches like a decoration. They seem a bit like tree jewelry to me. A little something extra that makes this tree unique.
So tell me: Do you have a favorite tree?
A quick reminder today… It’s the last day to link in to the Photo-Heart Connection for this month. I talked earlier this week about belonging, and if you are looking for connection and a place to belong, there could be no better place than with those participating in the Photo-Heart Connection. Such a lovely group of kindred spirits! I encourage you to visit and get to know them, if you haven’t already.
Have a lovely weekend!
I do have a favorite tree. It’s a native Hawaiian tree whose leaves dance at the top of the rainforest canopy. I took an iPhone photo of it and it’s a favorite photo as well: http://robinscanlon.files.wordpress.com/2012/11/picture-3.jpg.
Oh, I love that image Robin! And I love knowing I’m not the only one with a favorite tree. 🙂
Oh yes, there’s a tree not far from here that I always think of as being perfectly tree-shaped. It’s a big old tree, not sure what kind but it’s as wide as it is tall. It gives you an impression of stability and I bet it’s been there a long, long time.
“Your” tree is quite statuesque, Kat. My favorite is a huge weeping willow in a park where I exercise. It’s lovely in all seasons.
I can’t say that I have a favorite tree but I definitely have my favorite buildings – ones that I shoot over and over again, in all seasons and all types of light.
Love your processing – beautiful toning and painterly feel.
Oh, yes! Indeed I have published a post about it a couple of weeks ago or so, you can read it here http://myhealingmoments.blogspot.com.es/2012/11/day-36510.html
Sadly it is not there anymore, but I have felt a deep affinity for it… well I still feel it
Happy weekend Kat, your tree is wonderful and so your photo is
Haven’t you heard about the lady who travels to England (I think that is where it is) every year to visit her favorite tree? It was in the news a few months ago ;)……Your photo is beautiful. I do have a favorite tree…it was in the church yard across from the library in the town where I grew up. I used to ride up to the library on my bike, check out some books and then sit under that tree and read…it was a great escape for me from a chaotic household.
I have several favorite trees,but my most favorite is gnarly and in the middle of a wooded area.
I love your favourite tree, the processing is beautiful. I have a fave tree too, a big oak that lives just up the road 🙂
I’m not sure I have a favorite tree, but I do love trees. I love to see the light through the branches. Beautiful. This one in your photo is fantastic.. Lou
I feel the same. The light through the branches of any tree is a beautiful thing, especially in winter!
just gorgeous… the background looks like an aged and flattened globe with the longitude lines stretching across the horizon. love, love, love!
I love what you saw in it! Thanks Aimee.
