post your trees!

Much appreciated, though it mostly comes from making a virtue of necessity. FWIW, your amphibious set-up reminds me how important finding the right "elevation" is for LF--though I'm afraid my high-gradient streams here in the Smokies might put me through the rinse cycle (again) if I get too ambitious.

Happy to join all the great recent posts, though upon further reflection I think my subject isn't so much "trees" as it is holes in the understory.

Maybe your going through your liminal silvological interstice phase

As kingfishers catch fire, dragonflies draw flame;
As tumbled over rim in roundy wells
Stones ring; like each tucked string tells, each hung bell's
Bow swung finds tongue to fling out broad its name;
Each mortal thing does one thing and the same:
Deals out that being indoors each one dwells;
Selves — goes itself; myself it speaks and spells,
Crying Whát I dó is me: for that I came.

The dog days of summer had me rethinking my yomping about with my Sinar Norma 5x7 kit last week, especially when pattern recognition was hard to come by:

Gerard Manley Hopkins - 1844-1889

As kingfishers catch fire, dragonflies draw flame;
As tumbled over rim in roundy wells
Stones ring; like each tucked string tells, each hung bell's
Bow swung finds tongue to fling out broad its name;
Each mortal thing does one thing and the same:
Deals out that being indoors each one dwells;
Selves — goes itself; myself it speaks and spells,
Crying Whát I dó is me: for that I came.

Got to love the G-man... FWIW, I always thought photographers especially (at least when they're as good as, say, John Blakemore) instantiate his concept of "inscape" and "instress":

Its a picture of Sasquatch- he's hiding right there behind those bushes.
