[Leica] Tuesday Trees

[Don Dory]

Greetings to all.  Hopefully the winter weather in the northern
hemisphere finds you warm and safe.  These were taken in August in the
Seattle area and I believe this set was shot in a smallish park.  The first
image is a tribute to Bob's benches that we were delighted with but with a
bit of malevance.  The trees have made actually using the bench somewhat
difficult:

In truth this reminded me of sea life coming out of the ocean floor:

These leaves support a large number of defects:

The different strategies taken by these trees in interesting:

This is an understory tree trying to gather as much light as possible when
you Douglas Firs towering over you:

The amount of additional life this tree supports is quite incredible:

All the best.
