I have been interested in photography all my life and remember quite well developing my first black and white films myself... My favorite subjects are...
Not only can you tell how old the tree is, you can also get a glimpse of the climate (wet & cool vs hot & dry) by studying those rings. Don't I sound smart. It's amazing what rabbit hole a photo can lead me to. :) Except this is a branch and the research was talking about the trunk. Oh well. I do like the shape of the brnach and the coloration in the interior.
@randystreat Thanks Kathy. On Wednesdays I visit my mother at the rehabilitation center. These are difficult visits because my mother is slowly disappearing. After this visit, I'm going for a long walk and looking for this rabbit hole! But this situation sits in the mind and body.
@haskar I can empathize. I had my mother near me the last 6 years of her life. The last 2 she was in a nursing home and faded far away. I would drive home the back way, often on one road that had a stream by the side of it, to decompress. It's very hard. I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
