All my creative pursuits.
The topic for Cee’s Black and White Challenge this week is ‘trees’. Trees are some of my favorite subjects for photography. Here are my shots:
This is the driveway to my childhood home. We recently took a drive two hours north to see how it had changed in the 35 years since I lived on those 80 isolated acres in northeastern Pennsylvania.
The rest of the shots are from Yosemite National Park… channeling my inner Ansell Adams!
Following the chart to 52 drawings this year.
So many kinds of trees, so many choices this week. I like to draw trees so that’s not a hardship. Finally, though, I decided to draw a very famous tree: The Lone Cypress that perches on the cliff at Pebble Beach Golf Course on the Monterey Coast of California. The tree is the emblem of the club.
I visited the club in 2014 and had a glimpse of the famous (and now protected) tree. Here is my lone cypress:
Cee is still on a well deserved break so I came up with my own ‘theme’ for the week: trees. I have ‘trees and leaves’ on the list for my drawing challenge, so I thought I’d use them for Monochrome Monday, too.
