This tree reminds me of my favorite place. That's what art is supposed to do! Good job!

Gosh this ever so great grandmother tree is absolutely beautiful Wendy!
Wendy J St Christopher replied:
Thank you, Syd! She is a beauty, standing (leaning!) right near the edge of Medina Lake. I spotted here immediately - and vowed to bring some small part of her personality home with me, in the form of a photograph. :-)

Wendy - this is quite lovely. & I love that you titled it Grandmother, as I have often felt the impression that trees are our ancestors offering protection.
Wendy J St Christopher replied:
Hi, Janine -- just noticed that I posted this January comment in the wrong place, so I've moved it here. ---- Thanks for the beautiful comment, Janine. I feel much the same about trees. We walk upon the earth, but they're rooted in it, sometimes for more years than we could ever imagine. It's a connection that boggles the mind! :-) January 4th, 2014

Very nicely balanced composition and nice use of colour. Great use of post processing, I'm reminded of a mosaic. v
