Sun through the Leaves

I started trying to photo another subject completely and then sidetracked myself with my favourite tree in the garden. It's a form of metasequoia or ancient redwood native to the US and can reach 70 - 100 ft. This one is probably about 40 ft right now. The leaves are very delicate and remind me of golden feathers. Sooc.

I like the textures of the evergreen branches and the light and shadows.

[Helen Jane]

an unusual colour for an evergreen - you must have a large garden to be able to accommodate it. I like the way the light has caught this branch and added interest through the shadows.

@randystreat It's actually deciduous Kathy. @helenhall Although it's tall Helen, its branches don't spread too far out and the leaves don't block the light. My garden is not very big, someone recently kindly described it as 'lush' - I think they were being polite for densely planted!
