Best Buds

Nothing too special about this photo. I just liked the colors. Felt like I was looking through stained glass.

Early Bloom

A Bradford Pear tree offers some early blooms. I like the feeling of purity this photo conveys.

Tree Spirit

Some trees contain spirits, or demons, that express themselves in the shape that the tree adopts over time. The more dramatic the shape change, the more tormented the spirit.

The tree in this photo houses the spirit of an ancient wolf named Lykos. In the snow, near this tree, I have observed the tracks of a creature that leaves the footprints of a dog, but walks on only two legs.

Nearby residents say that it's not uncommon to hear the mournful howling of Lykos on cold, windy winter nights especially when there is a clear view of a full, yellow moon. These are good nights to remain indoors.

Be Afraid!

Voices whisper in the trees,
'Tonight is Halloween!'"

Fiery Plant

Just really liked the colors of this plant. Could be a tree or a bush, I don't know what it is. It has large, 3 to 4 inch, spike-like thorns on trunk that would run fully through your wrist if you fell on it. I believe now that this is what's known as a Honey Locust tree.

The Tree of Knowledge - Revisited...

A color version of the same tree you see below. Note the dark, shiny tubular "thing" on the right side, about 2/3 up from the bottom of the photo. I don't even want to think about what that is but I'm sure it slithers out of there from time to time and heaven help you if you happen to be there when it does...

The Tree of Knowledge

Behind every tree there's a new monster.
~Todd Rundgren

Don't know what happened to this tree but it looks like life didn't work out so well for it.

Magnolia

"Sugar magnolia, blossoms blooming, head's all empty and I don't care..."
~Grateful Dead

Fast Little Buzzer

I wasn't quite fast enough to catch this guy this time, but we will meet again. (This goes for your buddy trying to hide in the upper-right of the photo too!)

The Color Of Spring

God is the experience of looking at a tree and saying, "Ah!"

Ink Blot Test

This is like an ink blot test with no correct answer. It's the reflection of some trees with Autumn color in a lake.

Golden Giants

I guess that during the rest of the year these are jolly green giants but they're looking pretty golden right about now. Another shot from the Bernheim Forest, Kentucky.
