Sculptural Beauty of Snow

Snow clings to the trees

Highlighting their form 

Living sculpture

In the landscape.

Beech Trees in the snow

Snow has fallen.

Tall and statuesque,

The beeches,

Outlined in white

Etched against the landscape.

Favourite Beech Trees

Experimenting with the new Tinto Lens

my favourite beech trees

in the local park glow

green in the low winter sun.

Hipstamatic, Tinto 1884 Lens, Cano Cafenol Film

Low sun, long shadows

I love the way the low sun

sends shadows racing across the grass.

Winter mists define the light.

Early morning leaf fall

Glorious autumn colours in Alexandra Park, Crosby.

The stately beech,

Contrasts of copper

and green.

Hipstamatic, Jane Lens, Sugar Film

The glory of a leaf

as autumn chills hit the air.

In dying it gives us a whole

new palette of colour.

A brief flash of Autumn

This beech tree in the local park has turned golden at last in this lingering autumn,

but the strong winds will soon have the branches bare.

Autumn Arrives

The autumn colours seem late this year in our local park

but last Saturday's sunshine seemed to bring them out.

This stately birch glowed yellow in the sunlight,

an ideal subject for the new warm tone James M lens.

A fan of golden leaves

Spread against the cloud dappled autumn sky.
