Trees
I like to look at trees. It started when I was in college. As I walked across campus (this was in south Louisiana, where there are BIG trees), I started noticing that each tree had a personality of its own... The way the trunk was shaped and bent by its surroundings... The shape of the leafy part... The shapes of individual leaves... The colors and textures. In Texas they are also shaped by the wind. I like to look at the negative space created by intertwining branches. I like to look at the shadows on the trunks and within the leafy parts. I like to look at moving light and shadow created by sunlight through the leaves on objects below trees. But I can't draw or paint them. Maybe because I become too involved in their details. Still, I like to look at trees.

AJ!
So I just found your blog through Jeremiah's! How exciting are you?? Way cool. Yes, you need to learn to post photos.
That's interesting, AJ, cause so do I. I have many pictures of trees in my photog collection. One of note is my OK tree located on the Harding University campus. One day in 1995, I was very upset and sat down on one of their swings. I looked up and there was a tree in the shape of the OK sign. I just knew it was God telling me everything would be okay. So, some think that's a corny story, but I like it!
I like that story, too, Joan.
