My World Tuesday: Second-growth Sunrise

Host unlimited photos at slide.com for FREE!

This weekend I spent a lot of time finding my way through and around second-growth trees in search of a clear Skywatch photo. I did not succeed. Why should I? This is Connecticut. It is what it is. There are fewer wide-open vistas in my corner of Connecticut than there are opportunities to look way up. If I ever find that wide-open space, I'll find myself wishing for the trees that make home what it is.

    The sun shining through the density and tangles of the earth brings hope and a sense of peace to the world.

  15. How well I remember those tangles of woods! I enjoy my wide open spaces here in AZ, but I too long for trees sometimes. I love the play of light and shadows from their leaves and branches as well as the whispers of the wind in thier leaves. It seems you can appreciate both also.

  27. There's a saying over here that the grass is always greener on the other side. It rarely is, though.
    Great photo.

  28. nice photo. i remember trees-they limit your vista. in my home state you can see forever but i do miss trees sometime here in the desert.

    ReplyDelete
  29. I think the trees give you a nice way to peek through to the sunset.
    What we have here is mostly second growth, also--those wonderful old growth stands were taken down decades ago!
