Apart from Windows and Doors
I have a liking for trees
It started off when I first visited the States when I was in my early twenties
My husband, back then my boyfriend, showed me a book by Ansel Adams
I was mesmerized by the oak tree
We get to see interesting trees in vast open fields when we go for road trips
I started paying more attention to them
Perhaps I was hoping to find my oak tree
A lone bare tree that frames the horizon
Usually to get close to these trees we need to wade through undergrowth
Sometimes trespassing private land
Back then we own a film camera
It was fun but time consuming
Not possible if we have a tight traveling schedule or worse if we are traveling with kids
Over time, I have collected some trees pictures
mostly taken when we travel
These pictures are far from perfect
Almost all were taken with a point and shoot camera as we only invest in a DSLR recently
As I looked through these pictures
I realised that I will probably need a life time to find and photograph my perfect tree
Note : I have created an album Trees under Gallery
Wow… these tree pictures are so beautiful! I can’t believe they are taken with a simple camera. Look like postcards to me!
hey thanks tin
These pictures look ok in normal print. But if enlarged, you will see that the quality is not very good
Its absolutely lovely when you read something someone else wrote that seems to echo everything you want to say!
I really love trees too, and it started because I came to the UK for studies! It made me notice the changing leaves of the trees through the seasons, and how there are so many types of trees (and leaves).
And like you, I’ve always wanted to find my tree. I settled for the one just outside my hostel, but it’s planted in university grounds, so it does lack that “solitary” background.
Hope you find your tree one day! =)
Hi Stephanie
thanks for dropping by and your comment
It brought a huge smile to my face
Indeed very nice to know that I could connect with someone through this site and these pictures
I took a quick browse at your site
You take gorgeous pictures
I love the tree outside your hostel, I presume is the one under Season
Love its bright yellow autumn colours
Love your Trees pictures too
Enjoy your time in UK and keep on shooting
