Inspiration Tree
Posted by Lee (Fort Frances Ontario, Canada) on 29 March 2009 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.
A good friend and aquaitance asked if I would take a picture of this tree. She called it the inspiration tree. It is a rather large old oak tree standing alone in a field. The shot I took was in January, mid day, nothing special about it. I have worked it to this stage. This is one shot accepted by her. There will be four shots in the series before the year has elapsed.
One shot for each season. I wonder how the next shots will turn out?
Thank you for visiting my site. I consider myself to be lucky living where I do. Everyday I wake up to a wealth of interesting visual scenarios. Most of my pictures are Wildlife and Nature taken from around the area. The area specifically being Fort Frances Ontario on beautiful Rainy Lake. Feel free to comment on what you see. I look forward to hearing from you. If you like what you see, please rate it. Better yet, bookmark the site and drop back often. I will be posting daily.
