(first part)
Once there was a tree and she loved a little boy. And every day the boy would come and he would gather her leaves and make them into crowns and play king of the forest. He would climb up her trunk and swing from her branches and eat apples. And they would play hide-and-go-seek. And when he was tired, he would sleep in her shade. And the boy loved the tree very much. And the tree was happy. But time went by. And the boy grew older. And the tree was often alone. Then one day the boy came to the tree and the tree said,

Excellent photo! I love the black and white, very Ansel Adams! The texture is so marvelous! And your composition and POV are great!
Dear Kimarie, Silversteins story is touching as is your affection for it and this magnificent tree. And it is a story problem as old as our species. We each have a window of life through whihc others and other things come and go. We outlive pets, cars, many of our creature comforts. We outline our parents, grandparents, and many of our friends. And our children, and other friends, and the rocks, and trees, and or civilizations outlive us. It would be a comfort for all they love to all exist at once, to freeze amoment in time where all those time stretched memories, could all be together. But - it's not to be - nad we must all learn to accept and expect these passages. Excellent work! Love, Meredith
Super POV, sharpness and clarity!! I really like that frame too! Great work on this!
POV TOP ;;; and B&W also. Very very well done.
Lovely, just lovely!!
Hehe, thanks for lying in the dirt to capture this one ! One have to work for great pictures and you did ! Ok probably your work was more afterwards for cleaning, but in this case this counts too :-)
This is a good one! Keep looking out of the box!...
I really do love this image, as you know trees are very sacred for me. YOu can learn a lot from a tree , some time when you are lying on the ground, a favourite space of mine, listen, and feel the vibrations of energy they unconditionally give you. Hug a tree and see just how energized you feel afterwards, see a broken branch and feel the sadness. YOu have captured the intensity of light on the knots and bark. I send you encouragement to keep on your journey with your photography. Judith
Wonderful photography and postwork. I like the story !!! But I hate compt problems :)
This is a great image, the angle and composition make it it really interesting to view. Thanks for the comment on my work, thats what led me to your gallery.:)
Great pov selection and a wonderful shot. Looks very beautiful!!!
