From one Tree to Another? (Weekend Reflections # 65)

I wonder if the leaves thought they were going home. I'm not a poet but if I were I'd write a poem about this. :)

  3. Very nice capture....the reflection of the tree and the leaves settled on the ground...kind of 'not giving up thee ghost' type of thing. May not be on the tree, but even on the ground are still on the tree. I probably would have walked right passed. Thanks for sharing a last bit of fall, you sure won't find that around here right now.

    Happy Holidays!

    This shot is very clever and romantic!

  7. Excellent reflection! Your photography jumped a few notches higher during your trip to Europe!

    As for the poem about this image: maybe somthing about returning to one's roots?

  8. There's pure poetry in the image alone!
    This is AWESOME James - it really is!

  12. That's a very clever photo. Like Sistertex, I'd probably have gone past without noticing the potential for a photo.

  18. Some beautiful reflections of the very suggestive tree with leaves on water

    ReplyDelete
  19. Agree with the rest—the photo itself is poetry enough.
    Just beautiful, James!

    ReplyDelete
  20. OH, that is just brilliant! The reflection of the bare tree with it's actual fallen leaves seeming to fill up the reflected branches. So multi-dimensional. Great eye!

  36. What an awesome image! And I think the photo by itself is poetry - even without words... You obviously have a poet's eye. :)

    ReplyDelete
  37. Cette photo est particulièrement réussie: entre reflets et réalité, entre reflets de l'arbre et feuilles tombées, entre eau source de vie et feuilles mortes..... Une photographie très "parlante"!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  38. Great capture! So beautiful and so artistic!

  53. fallen stars leave
    branches bare to reach
    united again in reflected harmony

    ReplyDelete
  54. Hey James, where you say you're not a poet... I beg to differ... poetry can be visual too, and at that form of poetry you are a rising star... do continue, you are on the path to purity of image... a pleasure to regard.

    ReplyDelete
  55. That is like re-incarnation or something. Those leaves have entered a new cycle of life. It's not even in a new dimension. It's right here. Right now.

    ReplyDelete
  56. They look as if they belonged there!

    ReplyDelete

  60. How about..

    Nature's Fashion Show

    The show will begin soon
    Please take a seat
    You'll want a sweater
    We've turned down the heat
    We do this each year
    And it's quite spectacular
    We'll soon see our models
    In all their splendor
    First our lovely models
    Come out in green
    The prettiest shades of
    emerald you've seen
    Then slowly the colors
    Become yellow then gold
    As the weather changes
    From warm to cold
    Then gold warms to orange
    Red to burgundy
    The most glorious colors
    You ever could see
    As the weather becomes
    Bitter and cold
    Our ladies become
    Surprisingly bold
    They drop their costumes
    To the ground
    Shades of orange and red
    Turn to brown
    The once lovely leaves
    Feed our soil
    And we wrap our ladies
    In shimmering foil.

    God bless and Merry Christmas!

    I love to write poetry but am no where near as good at photography as you. :-)
