We do not have this tree here, but I have seen them in the forests in Canada. It is a great tree! The colors here are splendid, and the reflections!
ReplyDeleteI really like the central placement of the tree - and reflections, along with the wispy moss it look spectacular. And don't worry Doug, hair loss is compensated by growing in all those places that we wish it wouldn't!
ReplyDeletelol! well, not that i can't but it still looks magnificent.. ;) nice catch!
ReplyDeleteawesome symmetry, and a sad but not uncommon story, that with the hair ...
ReplyDeletefortunately, it doesn't concern me (yet) ... ;-)
Oh, that is beautiful!
