Change Is Hard

…but change is certain.

Looking for that lonely tree

by 21 Comments

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.

I'm a long time banker having worked in banks since the age of 17. I took a break when I turned 50 and went back to school. I graduated right when the economy took a turn for the worst and after a year of library work found myself unemployed. I was lucky that my previous bank employer wanted me back. So here I am again, a long time banker. Change is hard.

    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.

    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.

    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.
