I expect a lot of you are bored with my leaves and trees and plants! But I never tire of them and just wish I lived someplace with more open spaces and trees. Maybe even some snow. The older I get, the more I appreciate what I grew up in – wild, green areas without people.
Yep, another tree. To me, trees are friends I love to visit. They vary like friends, depending on season, on light, on weather, mood. Oak trees are particular favorites of mine.
One thing that I am finding so useful about only doing black and white is contrast – white against black, shape against shape. I am not a particularly analytical person so it takes awhile for what I see to make intellectual sense, such as the visual evidence of light and dark working to create shapes.
Sycamores are wonderful trees to tell you autumn is here! Their leaves, large and pointy, change with the season. In summer, they are green, and with the change in seasons, the leaves become gold and orange and brown, mottled in color, transparent and brilliant against the sunlight.
Another tree, a shadow, and a curiosity to see how well the Yashica D’s Yashinon 80mm f3.5 lens could handle the distance. I think it did pretty good!
