Beginnings

When I spend my time taking photographs of the flowers that show-off in spring, I sometimes miss the less showy but also lovely trees. The first two below are the oak tree that stands 100 feet tall in my back yard. The last is one of the native maples that produce many of these "helicopters" which clog everyone's gutters.

  1. Nice group of photos capturing tones of mauve
    As kids, opened whirlies up and stuck them on our noses with the sticky inside.

  4. We do often overlook the trees. Thanks for the reminder.

  5. We don't get the "helicopters" here often, our gutters get the pine straw and oak leaves and crepe myrtle buds.

    Beautiful photos.

  6. I get excited about new leaves, especially the maples. Our maples are all in the blooming stage. No helicopters yet.

  7. my maple is always the very first tree to come out. all the trees here are just about fully leafed out now but still retain their bright green.

  8. I’ve always been especially fond of maple trees — especially their colorful leaves in the fall.

  9. Bellissime le foto che riguardano la natura e l'acero rosso è sempre stato il mio albero preferito.

  10. Beautiful! You always take such beautiful photos. So, since I'm in the market for a new camera, I'm curious what kind of camera you use? Thanks for any info.

    2. All I have is time and patience these days. *sigh* It's just me and my fur buddy, Marlee, now. My husband died February 2019. I'm getting back into photography, at least on an elementary level, which I had pretty much put aside the last several years. I have always loved following your blogs, and your photos are just excellent.

  11. Tabor, I have "a thing" about old maples, and yours is gorgeous.
