Tall, dark and handsome. Cold and alone. Looking for love this bitter winter's day, something that will warm me to my roots. Call 555-TREE and we can grow old and tall together.

My new favorite kids book that we recently checked out of the library is called: Zombie in Love by Kelly DiPucchio. It is absolutely hilarious. He takes out an ad in the paper and titles it "Tall dead and handsome." It inspired my text. If you have kids or know kids, get this book. So fun and just in time for Valentine's day!!!
Great image love the austerity and isolation of the tree you can feel the cold !

Really nice shot!
I will have to look for that book for my herd of little boys.

Asleep, not really alone though :- ) all the Roots are connected and awake under there... wonderful shot

Oh too funny!! Love the write up!
@fullcircle And that was funny too! (but kind of scarily true to life).. I found the whole thing on youtube!: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ouOwpYQqic

Instant FAV - really stunning composition. Great white on white. Lovely. Very nice work!
February 8th, 2013  
Wow Amanda, this is wonderful! It absolutely looks cold and very alone. Is this the cool tree near the grocery store? Fabulous find.
February 8th, 2013  
Lovely composition.
February 8th, 2013  
@masosy It is right next to the other tree. I can position it such to get both of them as lone trees. I also took a shot of them side by side which I may post sometime. Thanks, lady!

@soboy5 Thank you so much for the instant fav, Danny!! I've been loving lone trees lately!

Beautiful capture. A bit too cold for a person living in Florida...

@anazad511 I was a FL girl for 25 years. I'm loving the cold change and have gotten to where temps in the 30's feel warm. Weird, huh?! Thanks, Ana!

@amandalomonaco - Oh I know what you mean, Amanda. I lived over 15 years in NY and loved it. It's good to find the beauty of the place were we are. I don't like the extreme heat and humidity here; I wish all year around would be like it's in January.
February 8th, 2013  
@anazad511 I was just there in January and got to wear shorts for a day or so. It was a nice break!

lovely take on the lone tree
February 8th, 2013  
Awesome shot!
February 8th, 2013  
I like you perspective on this. I have been looking for a tree like this that I can shoot up at it and have the sky for the background. Do you have a photo editing program Amanda? I was just wondering what it would look like if you removed the tops of those trees on the other side of the hill?
February 8th, 2013  
Ha ha love that call 555 tree. It's a fab one. It does look cold and alone. Aw.
February 8th, 2013  
@skipt07 I do. I was bothered by those, too. I may give it a try. Thanks, Skip!
February 8th, 2013  
Lovely shot. I like the slight hillock covered in snow and lone trees always get my vote :o) xx
