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. 😉
