Fun topic and some nice examples John. I would have a hard time finding images with no trees

Alan, love the drone’s viewpoint of the Siuslaw Forest—nice! Of course the Bryce Canyon image is another favorite as well! The last two images are also interesting captures with the moss laden trees. Thank you for sharing all these beautiful images!Fun topic and some nice examples John. I would have a hard time finding images with no trees

Larry, the General Grant sequoia is impressive! The RMNP aspen grove image is nice with the road leading the eye into this nice composition. My favorite is the Red Rocks landscape—very, very nice! The aspens of Kenosha Pass are also well captured. Thank you for sharing all these images Larry!Here are a few from my archive:

Doug, beautiful series of trees you’ve shared—thank you for the wide variety as well. The Joshua Tree, Monterey Cypress tree, and Red Maples and Birches are my favorites—and the Apple Tree in Acadia looks delicious—nice capture as well!

Jameel, I love “Looking Up,” a perfect composition and beautiful image and with its counterpart, “Looking Down” they create an interesting pair of viewpoints—nice! The lone tree captured in Zion is a beautiful capture too. The last image of Aspens is also particularly nice—was it captured in the same locale as your first image? Thank you sharing all these gorgeous images!
Thanks John. The two colorado images are from the same trip but in different locations.

Oh wow... So many beautiful images. Here is my take on the subject.
Up Close and personal with Lichen on a tree.
I love Birch bark in all its various forms, textures and colours.
Close to Saskatoon there is a small stand of Aspen trees that all grow in a very crooked way.
Here is a link to more info. https://canadiangeographic.ca/articles/the-crooked-bush-saskatchewans-botanical-phenomenon/
This is the branch of a spruce tree with the bark removed by woodpeckers to get at the grubs.
This is a digitized picture of a slide from 1982. Maybe better in another forum but it is a tree.

Trent, wonderful images all—I like the closer views of the different tree barks. The “crooked” Saskatoon aspens is a sight to behold—unique and very interesting as well. And your last image of the tree transformed into another unique capture—very, very nice (and yes, it definitely belongs here in this Task). Thanks for sharing them all.Oh wow...

Kyle, three perfect captures for this week’s topic, illustrating the beauty and variety of trees. My favorite may be your last serene and colorful image or the first image of the lone juniper—both superb landscapes. The candelabra redwood is another unique specimen posted for this topic—thank you for sharing it and the other images.
