Ode to the oak trees

Visited my brother and his family this weekend. It appears the beetles have infested 22 of their old water oaks surrounding their home. Needless to say, they will be coming out at a pretty penny.

Such a shame to lose all those trees. Nice capture and processing of this image.

The Emerald Beetle are killing Ash trees in PA. Too bad this look like a fairly old tree!

Reminds me of an old wallpaper, like the one we used to have when I was a kid...

Great tones and a beautiful shot. That's awful about them being infested by beetles.

How very sad... Lovely old trees will never be fully replaced in one man's lifetime. Your image here is absolutely beautiful!
