Backyard and Beyond

Starting out from Brooklyn, an amateur naturalist explores our world.

As John Burroughs said, “The place to observe nature is where you are.”

    Beautiful tree. Especially love the bottom photo. I assume you are familiar with the books about trees by Thomas Pakenham. This is a remarkable tree for sure. Thanks for sharing.

      I don’t know Pakenham, but I’ll look him up.

        Remarkable Trees of the World and In Search of Remarkable Trees. Photos with the story of the tree. Some really interesting ones. I think he did a tv series in the UK.

    Beautiful, with such different feels. The color makes a big difference to me. Maybe I am too used to color. The pink in the first one gives a hopefulness that is not present in the B&W.

    Both beautiful, but for me, the bottom photo has more impact.
