This tree photo has received so many wonderful compliments from my friends on Facebook that I thought I'd write a short post to share. This photo was taken with a Canon 40D while wandering the Chicago Botanic Garden a week ago. I was struck by the graphic lines and color blocks of the sky and hillside when I walked by and stopped to take the photo. The contrast of the deep, clear blue, fresh green grass and yellow buds of the tree felt like something out of a storybook when I saw it. As I periodically work on my photo collection to cull the excess and keyword the best, I realize how much I love trees. The love is more than as a subject of a photograph. I've always enjoyed being around trees and the various stages of life they share with the changing seasons. My photography collection definitely shows a variety of trees in images that feel happy like Spring in this photo, and other images which show strength and determination in the face of winter gales of Lake Michigan.
There could be a book or another notecard series coming from this realization!Posted via email from Shoebox
