Karin, I don't have many images of trees, other than forests. However, I did find these 2 shots.

The first was taken a few winters ago. I was on a group nature walk in a local state forest. The day was miserable - cold and dreary, no birds or wildlife worth shooting. I got it into my head to shoot upward.

The second was taken on a short walk at the Grand Canyon. People all over the place! I spotted this lone tree, and just went for it.

Thanks for hosting, Karin. Sure to be popular! Here are a few from this icy week with more ice and snow to come.

Well MadMike, if you only have 2 you had 2 good ones. Love the looking up.

This one is from several hundred feet away. I spotted it through the trees with all its leaves right after a big snow storm.

Thanks, Pat. I was sooooo bored, nd then I looked up, pointed the camera, and clicked the shutter.

Thanks, Karin. I like that one, too. It was "just standing there".

I REALLY like your second image in this series. The framing with the tree trunk just works.

Beautiful. This is moody. I love the way you framed the main subject with branches of other trees.
