Trees for Me
Trees are all around most of us. I’ve never lived in regions where they are few, and I doubt I’d like it there if I had. Yesterday while driving back home, I saw an area on a side road where lots of tall pine trees were growing, all about the same age it seemed, by their similar appearance. I lived in West Germany for several years during the 80s and saw many pine forests like this, all carefully maintained, with open areas between trees. I absolutely loved walking there. I remembered Darmstadt and Karlsruhe when I made this photo.
While out in the woods on another day recently, I saw the tree below that apparently was home to some small critter, perhaps a Chipmunk. I loved the color of the soft green moss growing around its base. Like I wrote in the title, “trees are for me.”
Winter Vegetation
I sort of prefer making photos of trees and other vegetation during the winter months because you can see through tree limbs such as with the first image, and when ice is involved a special effect can be recorded, such as in the second photo. The downside to this is that your fingers and ears can get pretty cold!
