post your trees!

A knarled tree that’s quite happy on this high knoll – even if ablaze with lightning in summer, and covered by snow the rest of the year. Plus a crop of mid-July weeds at trunk’s base.

Beautiful feeling in these photographs.

Really like the focus created by the forest opening here. That and the selective focus drive you right into the subject.

Sweet Laurent. Nice layering and color. And the desert varnish streaking adds some nice detail too.

Gentlemen, you colour images are rather spectacular.

Great images everyone...

Bruce, nicely done.

Another recent image from Kootenay National Park, while driving home from Invermere, British Columbia. Unfortunately, a major snow storm struck my path through the Columbia Valley shortly before I captured this image, where the first large damp snow flakes started to dust the trees. My drive home lasted more than eight hours, and I only had to travel 135km to the Alberta border, so I figured why not take a few images during the journey home. Traveling ten to twenty kilometres per hour can be quite an arduous chore in the mountains...
