Hey Hedgehogs, it’s time for another Weekly Photo Challenge. This week’s theme is entitled Trees.
- Be sure the title or description of your entry explains your interpretation of the theme.

The challenges are simple. You start with a theme, but the twist is that everyone needs to submit a title or description with their photo that explains the ‘who, what, where, why, when or how’ they went through to get it. This helps us ‘feel’ the moment as you did, but can also help with voting. You might even find some great tips along the way.

This is about challenging yourself, pushing beyond your limits, so have fun and try anything and everything whether you are good at it or not. Remember; you can't win if you don't try. Good luck and have fun!

In some usages, the definition of a tree may be narrower, including only woody plants, only plants that are usable as lumber or only plants above a specified height. At its broadest, trees include the taller palms, the tree ferns, bananas and bamboo. ..."

Can you explain the ratings? There are two numbers, the one in parentheses I assume is the number of votes received.

From WPC 1433 - Trees VOTING http://www.uglyhedgehog.com/t-237651-1.html

Please note the way voting works.
http://www.uglyhedgehog.com/t-1-1.html#98691
- scroll down to Voting
You can vote as many times as you like, but only have one (1) voting point.
If you vote for multiple entries, your (1) point gets divided among them all.
