This week, the theme is “Cold.” On my visit to the Biltmore Estate, just before it started to snow and I ran for cover, I grabbed this photograph of a old gnarled Japanese Maple. The bare maze of branches seemed to be recoiling from the cold. (However, I’m very possibly projecting a little of my own feelings about the bitter cold I felt that day!)
This year, I have joined with 16 other wonderful photographers across the world from the Bloom Forum to make a circle of photographs with our blogs each week. In that circle, each photographer links to another’s unique interpretation of the weekly theme. After viewing my pictures, please be sure to visit the very talented Jessica Nelson next at The Gaggle Photography in Dayton MD to see her “Cold” photograph for this week.
What an amazing image! I agree, it does look like it is just trying to get away from the cold! Love how twisted the branches are!
Fabulous texture and lines. What a wonderful tree and image.
That is SUCH a stunning tree…and I love how you captured both the detail and grand-ness in one shot. Beautiful!
Wow that tree is gorgeous. I love the tones and colors of this shot. Very beautiful.
Love the colors – so pretty! It looks like I can reach out and touch the branches.
What an amazing tree! The bare branches and the lighting definitely convey that cold feeling. Beautiful!
Dang, that tree has a story to tell and you’ve captured it perfectly.
What a cool tree! And I totally understand wanting to recoil from the cold, lol
Simply Beautiful!
