My Favorite Oak Tree

For years I have told myself that I would photograph this tree. I absolutely LOVE the thick solidness of the trunk, the sturdy, dependable branches, and the feeling of spring that is completed by the reappearance of the leaves on the tree. Finally, last week, I drove by at sunset with my camera, and I got the pictures that I've envisioned on my wall for over a year (clearly a very busy one!). Now, I just need to pick which one I like the most for my living room. Here are some of my favorites!













And these ones are pure vanity...my husband shot this of me while I was picking my way through the sticky grass in the field. I love the way the dress looks a little out of place in the field, and the black and white stands out so nicely against the green! Did I mention I was on the way home from a wedding when I decided to do this spontaneous photo shoot?
