I was recently scrolling through Instagram when I came across a post by Tony Sweet where he talked about how one of his most-photographed subjects is a single tree. I happen to know of one tree in particular in Cades Cove that I refer to as “Tony Sweet’s Tree” even though lots of other photographers know about it too.
In his post states that he has “amassed a pretty large collection of single tree images in various formats, weather conditions, and times of year.” It got me thinking about my own collection of trees, so I went out and found a few of them to post here.
I’ve been thinking in terms of themes lately anyway, and his post made me think of another possibility for a website gallery. The choices never end…. 
(As a side note, I noticed lately that a number of people who have subscribed for email notification of new posts were not getting emails. I think I have found and fixed the problem, but we’ll see.)
I love photographing trees as well. These are really fantastic!
Thank you, Howard. And glad to see you’re evidently getting the emails.
One of my favorite subjects. I used to have a ‘tree’ gallery but I’m always looking at new gallery ideas and it eventually was replaced by something else, probably ‘rocks.’ This is a beautiful collection of an ever-fascinating subject.
Yeah, my “replacement” is probably “Rust and Peeling Paint!” But now I’ll be taking another look at trees.
Some really beautiful shots, Mr. Dills
Why, thank you, Mrs. Dickens!
I also have a love with trees, especially isolated and solitary trees. I also have a lot of images of clouds. Both are favorites. This is a wonderful gallery. I think it’s a good idea to setup a tree gallery and expecting to see one.
I know you have made some excellent tree portraits. Clouds too. I just may have to do a tree gallery. Hmmm.
