Twisting Branches

This photograph was taken in the courtyard of City Hall in Beverly Hills. I was struck by the beautiful leaves ready to fall from the trees. I captured a moment where it appeared that the leaves were hanging by nature’s thread. The effect reminded me of the colorful decorations on Christmas trees that hang by fine threads creating an artistic arrangement. It is difficult to find anything man made that can compete with the beauty of nature. Since many of my photographs are abstracts with a vast array of imagery, this abstract presents many images. both in the foreground and background. The beautiful rust branches against the gray blue skies present a dramatic contrast of color.

lovely...it is hard to beat Mother Nature's dramatic effects :)

Artist Reply: Brenda, You and I have amazing respect for mother nature. We can't beat it, but having the eye to capture the beauty around us is a wonderful gift. We are the tree people and I see you living on the branch of the "giving tree," a book for children that you probably have read reflecting your heartfelt generous spirit. I am very appreciative of your encouraging and consistently uplifting comments on my work.

Oh, such light - love it!

Artist Reply: Thanks Terri. We have many beautiful trees and wilderness areas in Los Angeles. Not only is the light great, but so is the climate. :)
