Mike, over at MLCreatons and I had a short comment thread talking about being photographers that are always on the lookout for that one tree standing alone out in a field. I have had similar discussions with other photographers, so it must be a thing.
Anyway, Friday I was out with Penny when we came across this tree.
Not in a field exactly, but a lone tree with a pretty nice reflection on an unusual sunny day.
Made me smile.
Go check out some of Mike’s images, guaranteed to make you smile too.

Gorgeous … the blog photo and the header photo. Me too … a lone tree begs to be photographed. 🙂

I’ve found that a lot of my paintings have a solitary tree. It must be a thing.

I think it is! I still have your alcohol ink of trees. It’s in my guest room and I like looking at it.

I think I might not have noticed the tree if it were not for the reflection.

There is something so beautiful about a lone tree, the sweep of its silhouette against the sky. Nice find!

Yes, I’ll always notice it when we walk that way now. There’s a branch that came down over the winter…maybe that will be cleared away, but likely not. The land management people like to leave things as they fall if they can.

Makes me smile, too, Dawn. Our brilliant blue skies seem to have vanished this winter, leaving us with plenty of gray. Perhaps that’s why this lone tree, with its lovely reflection and that oh-so-clear sky, stands out.

There sure haven’t been many days of sun! I was lucky that the day Penny and I needed to be out of the house all day (workers here) was a beautiful sunny one!

It was quite a perfect day. Today on the other hand, no sun, cold, took Penny for a walk and we both stepped in some other dog’s poo which she then got all over me when I picked her up to put in the car. So bath time when we got home, plus laundry. Fun stuff.

I like tree reflections. There is a long-dead tree at the Park where I walk – between the Red-bellied Woodpecker who has decimated it and it have very little bark left, when the sun shines, there are beautiful reflections.
