Hi Dorit and everyone in our group "Trees"! I'm very honored to have my picture chosen as the new avatar, thank you very much Dorit! I've titled the picture," Alone in the Fog", because thats what I saw the day I was driving in Oregon on my way to find where my dad went to boot camp during WWII. I spotted this tree in a field by itself and pulled off the road to photograph it. I thought, what a subject to shoot in black and white. Funny how I was looking for one subject and stumbled upon another.
Again, thank you Dorit.

Hi Terrell,

I think the image is brilliant... one of those rare good classic photographs... and it represents the group so well. I know what it's like to head out for something or somewhere in particular  but then you get side tracked... that's when the really good shots normally being taken because on the way there's something that catches your eye... and you know that that's a photo you can not not take. Again.. a fantastic image, perfect title and a good story behind the creation of it.

If anyone would like to join the discussion and write about your experience about those planned journeys that turn into dangerously sudden stops on the motorway/highway or into cross country hikes because something catches your eye and you just have to take THAT shot or a drawing, please share the story with us. Any other thoughts you want to share are also welcome of course, e.g. your favourite place to capture trees, your preferred method, your favourite image in the group... anything goes, dont' by shy.

I was thinking of picking an image for the avatar of the trees group every 4 to 6 weeks. What do you think about that?

See you later.

Our avatar for the last few months has been Autumn Glow by Jacki Mroczkowski. A truly stunning and inspiring image. Thanks so much for posting it in the group.

The current Trees Group avatar is infrared - a winter summer by Mike Irvin.

I will try and pick a new avatar more often, on a monthly basis really, as I see it as the only way to feature some of the artwork. It’s a real shame there is no feature section in the groups so I’ll have to work around it this way.

Thank you all for helping to create such a wonderful selection of images.

P.S. the first Trees Group avatar was Alone in the fog by  Terrell Stewart.
