How could I pass up the chance to do another post on one my favorite subjects when taking photos
I know I might look strange when others with cameras are taking pictures of the scenery, I’m walking right up to a trunk of a tree with camera in hand
There is something beautiful and majestic about a mature tree, with all of its tucks and folds, huge limbs reaching in all directions upward to welcome the sun.
It can be said the same for mature people, for when you look into their faces with all their lines of life. Of their character, their joy and sadness, love and loneliness, a lifetime of memories and the uncertainty about the future.
And like a tree it is something that should be admired for the beauty it holds

It’s so cool to look at Nature close up.
I love the textures! thank you for sharing and for visiting my blog 🙂
Lovely–especially appreciate the analogy of looking close up at a mature tree and and a mature person’s face, each telling so many intriguing tales. Thank you.
I, too, find tree bark and the layers and textures it creates endlessly fascinating – the older the tree, the better (sometimes, it applies to human faces, but not always….)
I totally agree.
