I took my 50mm lens with me to Tyler State Park a few times this week. It's a large park with plenty of wooded trails and a creek. These two trees were standing alone in a grassy clearing and for some reason they remind me of a dancing couple. What you see is all that could fit in the lens from where I was standing. I like the way this looks in Black and white but I like the horizontal layers of color behind the trees even better.

ReplyDeleteHugging trees, lovely!
ReplyDeleteThey make a lovely couple!
ReplyDeletePerfect title!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a couple to me as well. The one tree has it's limbs all over the over...
ReplyDeleteLoving trees! Virtus Unita Fortior! United we stand...
ReplyDeleteNature creates its own sculptures. Thanks for sharing, that is in fact very very nice photo. Anna :)
ReplyDeleteYour caption is just perfect my friend. Well done. I love the colors as well. :)
ReplyDeleteYou just had to have that glorious spring green in the shot. I love the way the foreground tree appears to be flaunting herself!
ReplyDeleteFantastic James!
ReplyDeletePerfect description. Excellent!
ReplyDeleteSunny :)
New Reality TV show - "Dancing With the Trees" - love it! I think you are right about the colors - they add a certain dimension to the picture.
ReplyDeleteThe layers of color in the background certainly do offer dimension and contrast...and, what great trees you found! I can even hear the music!
ReplyDeleteTwo very different ways to be a tree... You are right, the layers of color in background 'make' the picture!
ReplyDeleteYes, I can see a dancing couple :). Great shot.
ReplyDeleteI posted my Weekend Reflections. When you have time please come see the Iron Horse. It's spectacular.
ReplyDeleteJames, «Louis» doesn't have your e-mail address - he's wondering if you'll be joining in on the Sunday Bridge meme.
ReplyDeleteI like the title and the association. Also the contrast between the new green leaves and grass in the forground and the bare trees in the background.
ReplyDeletegreat title
ReplyDeleteIndeed it looks like a tree dance!
ReplyDeleteI love this one. Don't know how I missed it. The title is so apt!
ReplyDeleteI like that. I posted some dancing sycamores a few months ago. Trees definitely dance with each other.
ReplyDeleteWow, this really does look like a couple! Great shot!
ReplyDeleteIt is surely the figure of a pleasant dance.
ReplyDeleteYou are very good at finding the various subjects.
I have a lot of learning from you.
