035 Gnarled

Thanks so much for all of your generous comments. They are much appreciated.
This tree and setting reminded me of fairy tale story illustrations of magical trees. This shot was taken at Green Lake in Seattle.

beautiful tree....and captured so well, I always have trouble photographing trees so they are as lovely as they are to the eye, think its got something to do with scale, so this is inspirational for me to keep practising.
