as I hide behind and look upon the sea

Benefits of Trees - 4: Trees block things
Trees can mask concrete walls or parking lots, and unsightly views. They muffle sound from nearby streets and freeways, and create an eye-soothing canopy of green. Trees absorb dust and wind and reduce glare.

This is super fab, like it a lot. Not surprised to hear that you're hiding though. Again.

[Jasper]

This is very striking.

[Beryl Lloyd]

Are these tamarisk? They look feathery in the way they create a curtain.

I like your composition because it expresses a different point of view. Nicely done, plus creative. Fav

[Taffy]

I like how the trees in the foreground create such a lacy feel of peeking through some draperies.

[Yao RL]

cool effect.

[KWind]

Cool image. I like your processing.

[Annie D]

@ccb I do not know what tree it is Celia but next time I drive past - if I remember - I will take a closer look - I am now curious

[Gena Pegg]

Lovely the way it frames this muted image. Very mysterious. Hope all is well with you...I am not keeping up very well....think of you often.

[Annie D]

@eyesmile ditto Gena...on all counts... :)

[Sam]

I like the smudged look :)

[Annie D]

@gigiflower lol you make me laugh - how'd the slave labour work?

[Sam]

@annied It's my job in life to make you laugh! Slave labour was a success! I'm now a masterchef.........sausage rolls, chicken drumlettes in 2 different flavours and the best double chocolate sponge cake with chocolate icing with crushed Crunchies :)

[Annie D]

@gigiflower so.....did you or the middle child chef it out hahaha

[Sam]

@annied HAHAHA well if I'm really honest, she did *most* of the work in the kitchen. I was "supervising" - she did need it because she loses focus so quickly!!!!!!!! HAHAHAH

[Annie D]

@gigiflower supervising is very important Miss Sam lol

[Sam]

@annied I think I'm very good at it Ms Annie!

[Jane Morley]

Love what you see here.

[Annie D]

@gigiflower i am sure you are :)

[Ann H. LeFevre]

This shot makes me feel like I'm a child playing a game of hide and seek. I have found the perfect spot and all my friends keep running by, not knowing I'm right there peering out from behind the leaves and branches which keep me hidden from their sight.

[Leana Niemand]

Lovely shot.

[Lxxx]

Cool "spy"-shot! :)

[william wooderson]

I quite agree with you!
