These are delightful ftboah. I favour the first two for their sameness. I can see them aside each other framed in a hallway. I love them both for being simple, with pin sharp focus, great DoF and subtle colours. They are beautifully thought out and captured, you're a top lady, goodjob

These are remarkable images... All three are superb in their own way. I especially favor the 2nd one, dark against light, sharp focus and the colrs... I love green. It's so different from what we have in SO. CA. most of the time. Thanks for sharing them.

Beach, you are too kind but know that I am taking my ques from you. You show us daily that sometimes simple is better.

Thanks Jake. When I looked out in the morning, the whole tree was shimmering from the rain. It was truly an awesome sight.

Thanks Fred. We do get to enjoy green for alot of the year here. I sometimes forget that others are quite so fortunate.

Susan, I am sure liking this new lens for these kind of shots. I must thank you for giving me Susanitis. I wouldn't have gone looking for it if you hadn't.

There you are in Colorado, surrounded by trees and a gazillion leaves. That you are able to remain awake and aware of their individual beauty says a great deal about your personal sensitivity to all things beautiful. You are especially atuned to light, aren't you? The tiny pin pricks on the tips of the needles is lovely.
