I have been taking part in Deb’s photographic scavenger hunt recently and the subject this week is “A Solitary Tree”.
I am a couple of days late in posting so I grabbed the camera this morning and took a shot of this palm tree down the road.
It’s overcast as we are expecting rain (at last!) but goodness knows where the orange glow came from as it was taken at 10am.
Spooky!

Lovely photo. Lokks like the Mummy tree looking after her baby trees.
*facepalm* I’ve been around my children too long!

Thank you for your kind words Mrs Yub. I like your interpretation of my pic,

Perhaps the orange glow is its sacred aura.

That’s a lovely thought Gracie.

It’s a pretty shade of mystery orange, whatever it’s from.

I must go round the corner again and have another look at that tree to see what might have caused that orange hue. Strange.

Perfectly captured, reminds me of a windmill

Thank you for visiting Chris. It does resemble the sails of a windmill. It’s interesting what these images can conjure up for us.

Silhouettes are always dramatic when you have interesting shapes. A very tropical image. Thanks Jean for your comments about my photos. The misty photo was taken in the Blue Mountains where we have a weekender. When the mist comes in it is like living in a cloud…

Thank you for your comment Marion. It was the silhouette that appealed to me. When I was out walking yesterday I took so many photographs but this one was very different from all the others.

Marion it’s me again! I was interested to read that your misty photo was taken at the Blue Mountains. Must be lovely to have a weekender in that beautiful part of the world.

That is a great photo Jean. You must have captured it just at the right time of day.

Thank you for your kind words Lynn. The day was unusually overcast for springtime and that seemed to capture it.

It is a lovely photo, but your photo’s are always so good. I love the orange glow, it’s sort of eerie

Thank you for your kind words. I only saw the orange glow when I downloaded the photo onto the computer, as you say, eerie.
