post your trees!

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.

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":

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.

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

Patrick, this image has wonderful counterpoint of form as well as color that set it apart.

Jon, fine composition and tonality. In my view this image joins the 6th one on your Photostream Flickr page as among your most successfully unified B&W images.
