my favorite tree

every time i visit the farm i have to stop and take a look at my favorite tree

no matter what time of year it always looks amazing


for my last texture challenge i added 8 telephone and hydro poles to my flickr page

while playing around i decide to take just one of the textures cropped it square

and duplicate it 4 times rotating each layer first 90 degrees then 180 and 270

creating a new texture which i used in the above project

(available on my flickr page to use)

i added to my tree photo and set the blending mode to color dodge

i also added a bokeh layer and some text

finishing it off with a frame

Trees really do take great photos. And your favorite tree is close by so you can stop in to see it often. How great

Love your tree, I have one like that, I must enjoy it. It's actually on the highway QEW just before Burlington. Reminds me of the talisman trees I think Lennie did awhile back. What ever happened to Lennie?

I can totally see why it's your fave tree, Nancy! I really love your edits... and it's worthy of a frame!
I have been playing with your new grungey textures today - love them too!

I know exactly what you mean. On the way up north I pass a tree and have taken photos over the past years in rain, mystic fog patches or hot summer days. The tree looks always it wants to tell a story. I should try to layer textures and make a file.

Yes I have a tree like that and have dozens of pictures of it.
Love the light from the bokeh layer.
