The Giving Tree

 

There's an old saying about "Seeing the Forest Through the Trees". For a photographer, I think it's also hard to "See the Trees in the Forest". So far the trees that catch my eye tend to be by themselves. When they are by themselves their not in as much competition with other trees, so they can form a nice uniform rounded look. When they are in the forest they seem to grow quickly toward the canopy so that they can receive the sunlight that they need. I photographed a few trees today as I snowshoed with Tank, our black lab. I liked this one the best.
