A combination of working full time this past week and a sore back (surely it can’t be from sitting so much at work?) has stopped me from having much to contribute this week.
Every morning as I drive to work I see my favourite tree. And every morning lately I look for signs of fresh growth. None yet, but soon (the next photo was taken in Sept last year) this stark beauty will make the transition from this:
to this:
I forgot when I stopped to take yesterday’s photo what spot I had taken the previous one from. Yesterday I was just up around that left hand bend.
Thanks for the topic, Redlan. I’m sorry I’m not up to it. To check out Redlan’s interpretation from the Iloilo City, Philippines just click here. Or why not have a look at everyone who has participated this week? You will find them here.
Gosh. That really is some transition. I can't imagine it in its winter lack of plumage.
ReplyDeleteGreat transition photo! not only the trees are different, the clouds are too, no two days are the same!
ReplyDeleteDo you get a lot of rain where you live? It seems that there are clouds in both pictures.
ReplyDeleteI'm partial to the first photo. Something about the starkness. I love Winter scenes. Is it Winter down there right now?
So many questions... but I'm so interested in New Zealand and Australia.
I saw the same clouds which I am going to post Friday sky. Isn't it unusual type of clouds?
ReplyDeleteThis is a big change, isn't it? The passage of seasons is a remarkable thing to observe.
ReplyDeleteI love the way the sky looks in these two photos.
ReplyDeleteFrom dry brown to lush green, that's the best kind of transition there is. I wasn't really up to this theme either but I did push myself this morning.
ReplyDeleteI thought it was very interesting that the surrounding trees looked pretty much the same in both photos...really played up the difference in your Focus Tree and the clouds. Another special take on the theme...I always enjoy your photos!
ReplyDeletePauline these photos are marvelous. I am like you I love watching the seasons come and go and all the living things around. Hope that tree comes back in full beauty. Thanks for stopping by. Blessings
