Favourite tree/s in your neighborhood...

fredman · Sep 16, 2016

You know that feeling... That tree/s you go out your way to see again and again whenever you travel their way. It makes you stop and reach for the camera . It awakes all the emotions while you view it...awe, inspiration, respect, admiration etc etc...
Please show your tree/s that speaks to you...

I have quite a few. Will show them as we go...

This is my absolute favourite. Its nothing impressively special as far as bulk or stature goes, but its has the sleek, elegant, natural lines that I find fascinating. Just something about it that keeps me going back to it. Here it is with its leaves on...

And today without its leaves

Frustrating how they never look as good on the photo...but hell, its all I got

Just some screen grabs on the daily commute.

I am a little biased, this is my 60 year old ornamental crab apple that my grandfather planted. My neighborhood has lots of new developments that have no trees.

We cut all of the big ones down here.

Sorry no trees. Just tobacco and cotton fields. But we have no leave to rake. ha ha

This beauty is in the Portland Japanese Garden. This tree is absolutely amazing any time of year.

I pass this tree every morning. I want to recreate this tree someday. Ryan Neil has a couple cool ones in a similar style.

I pass this one every day on the way to work

Absolutely beautiful. I'll pack my tent and camp under that on weekends, if I were a Vancouver/Portland resident...

Here's another. Its in a few towns down the road. Whenever I pass the main road that way, I always shoot into town to see how it goes. The wife just shakes her head. No questions anymore...its a settled discussion...

One of my favorite trees. It is on your national flag. Also, one of my favorite flags. Wish you could ship me one.

LoL..that the reason you have this.... "(the beauty of empty space)" in your profile? Surely there must be something that inspires you somewhere...? on the horizon or the neighbouring states...seems you can see far there

One of the best mountain maples in the village. Not many maples in Hawaii, eh? And a typical Ficus benjamina down the mountain in Hilo.

Come-on Mike. I know you secretly admire trees. It don't have to be big and impressive. Actually just the opposite..... something that inspires you to get styling...

M. Frary · Sep 19, 2016

There are a few large American elms left here and there but almost all the trees here are really uninspiring. They're young and straight. There are also justa few white pine over 200 years that didn't get cut down in the 1860s.

Ive enjoyed this Horse chestnut a few years now, usually from the other side, goes to show, trees in nature often look great from all angles
