This beautiful oak lives 50 feet from my front door. I love the way it reaches in every direction for light. This branch sometimes makes me think of lightening, sometimes of a runaway heading East, and sometimes of the letter J. I love the view of the sky through it.

All oak trees have a reputation for reaching out and grabbing heaven and this is a perfect example of that. Nice photograph.

Trees make the sky more beautiful--as the sky makes a tree more beautiful.

ReplyDeletesuch a nice shot from a beautiful perspective.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shot!
ReplyDeleteSandy, I had to come back and say the poem you left for my Skywatch photo was incredible and fit it perfectly! I cannot thank you enough for these words. Thank you. It was ever so perfect and you made me smile.
ReplyDeleteBig hug to you for the precious gift.

Beautiful Sandy....your interpretation of the huge strong limbs are perfect.
ReplyDeleteIs it the oak tree which made a prisoner in his net of branches? Or the sky which is escaping like the wind?
ReplyDeleteI love the colored contrast.
Nice photo.
You're lucky to see that on your front door!
I always stop at your site first to see you Friday photo. Lovely!
ReplyDeleteI was looking up through trees also.
Have a wonderful weekend!
The sky and a Oak... sounds like a book title to me... Both make a beautiful picture.
ReplyDeleteYes, it is reaching for the sky. I love old oak trees they take on so many different forms.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous~ You are blessed that it lives close to you:).
ReplyDeleteOh how nice! I can clearly see green and blue, colors of peace and tranquility! Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteOh thats a good'en Sandy!
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty, Sandy. We have a swamp oak in our backyard. It amazes me that there are so many varieties of oaks. Beautiful shot. It's quite uplifting.
ReplyDeleteThat was what i used to do in my childhood summers make pictures from the beauty in nature around me --as I look out the windows and dream it is so nice that even when we may not have the beauty in our homes God has created the most beautiful art outside for ALL OF US to enjoy and interpret
ReplyDeleteNice sky watch photo through a beautiful oak tree limb.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty .. I love the way the tree angles against the leaves and sky
ReplyDelete:-Daryl
first thing i saw in the tree was someone running. Very cool tree shot!!
ReplyDeleteYou can get truly lost in nature staring up at trees. They point to the heavens - whereas in youth, I climbed them, and often ended up hitting the earth.
ReplyDeleteI love the view of the sky through it too! Beautiful shot! Would love to lie in the shade of this tree and waste an afternoon looking at clouds...
ReplyDeleteHello what a beauty this sky and the leaves, you were laying on your back for this photo?
ReplyDeleteI LOVE THE MUSIC!!!
happy skywatch Greetings from JoAnn
Everything is beautiful about oak trees, except walking barefoot underneath. (ouch)
ReplyDeleteThey're my favorite tree and this is a great view!
It sort of reminds me of lightning, too. Cool!
ReplyDeleteWow this is a really beautiful shot.
ReplyDeleteGreat Idea. I love trees. Looking at the sky through the branches is always comforting somehow. I love the play of light and shadow from the trees.
ReplyDeleteWow- what a beautiful shot!!

It's like a maze of branches. Great shot!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous tree, it looks majestic even from this angle.
ReplyDeleteThis is very nice dreams. I hope so that I love the way it reaches in every direction for light. This branch sometimes makes me think of lightening.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a wonderful place to look at the sky. I can just imagine spending a lovely afternoon lying beneath the tree and daydreaming while gazing through the branches.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot. The branches seem to be stretching to encompass the clouds.
ReplyDeleteI also love Oak Trees, especially when they are old and covered in moss, etc. What history have they seen and survived?
ReplyDeleteThere is something so calming about contemplating a tree, isn't there? Wonderful picture.
ReplyDeleteoooh, love this perspective
ReplyDeletethank you for your many visits i alway look at your pictures for insperation

ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful picture ! it just invites to lay down under the tree and watch the sky !
ReplyDeletePure serenity!
ReplyDeleteLovely composition again.
Greetings from a rainy Sri Lanka!
It's a beauty! I enjoy the way you have positioned yourself so the branch starts at the top of the picture and runs down, we are so used to seeing branches going upwards, this is refreshing!
ReplyDeleteHumph...I never looked at that branch that way. when I go out to get the mail, I'm going to take another look. Of course, it's cloudy now so it won't look as glorious.
ReplyDeleteI have a lovely oak tree at the bottom of my garden too! I love the bright contrasting colours in your photo!
ReplyDeletethat is a great shot - it looks like someone running to me.
ReplyDeleteFor me the branch seems to be a man trying to run away... look at those legs and the arms... running away from what :)
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful shot!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great shot, and i love how the leaves are starting to come out now as it gives so many beautiful contrast colors
ReplyDeleteI just love photos like this... looking through the beautiful branches of a tree towards the sky. Lovely.
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for stopping by my blog!
Beautiful photo. That tree is wonderfl.
ReplyDeleteThanks for being here.
