Well these two very different images will end my tree theme for now. It has been difficult and though it is good to try and push myself there are few images, perhaps the first in the theme, that I feel happy with. Perhaps a lesson for all; we cannot be good photoimaginators  for every topic. So Mentor&Muse will be pleased that (a) I tried something different and (b) I need to delete some stuff from my hard drive.

The first image is a simple winter trees shot. It was taken on a simple 5mp compact that bI had in my compact as I trudged back from the station having failed to get into work; a few cm of snow and the UK rail system becomes a pile of scrap iron. So the lesson is always carry a camera, and it does not have to be a high spec camera to capture a pretty image. Gaia in the icebox.

And the second is just some tree bark, silver birch to be precise. And again a lesson; sometimes you don’t have to get the whole tree, or the whole anything for that matter; there can be interest and beauty in just a small detail.
