I was playing around with the image of the big old cottonwood tree from Whitewater Nature Preserve, and tried a couple of monotone filters. I think I liked this one best, and maybe even better than the original. Just trying it on for size, so to speak. 1/25/20 Judith Sparhawk
I went birding at the Whitewater Nature Preserve the other day, and although I was disappointed by how quiet the bird life was, I enjoyed some of the scenery. This very large Cottonwood tree was still covered in golden leaves, and I liked the sunlight and the angle of the large trunk. This is a painterly version of the scene that afternoon. 1/18/20 Judith Sparhawk
A few days ago I posted an image of the trail heading into the grove of eucalyptus trees in San Timoteo Canyon, out of Redlands, CA. This shot was taken inside the grove, showing the trunks of three of the trees. This is a filtered version. 2/6/20 Judith Sparhawk
