The Ranch Elder

Description


Lone trees can be like a magnet for photographers - As the seasons shift towards the winter equinox I can't help but notice that these trees are survivors of the elements; the hot summer sun and the cold winter winds and everything in-between.

* I captured this yesterday morning out on the ranch near our home. A hot coffee, warm orange tones in the sky and a cool breeze in the air.... Pretty much a perfect morning for me!

It is a beautiful way to start the day Jeff. And as you have shown so many times it is the perfect time for some beautiful photos, enjoy the coffee start the day off with. I love lone trees like this and your right, we do get drawn to them. The composing and pov with our eyes following the fence line to the tree is stunning, then add some of the most beautiful colors, and its as if we, along with you, are taking it all in and starting a peaceful day. Love it. A favorite Jeff. #11740418
