Sorry for the posting delay…these summer days are keeping me busy A 500 hundred year old tree that survived Katrina, yes please! This was by far that largest and most glorious tree I have ever seen. 500 years….it’s hard to believe We found this tree located on the front lawn of the Southern Miss Gulf Park campus in Long Beach, Miss. Friendship Oak Measurements Current measurements show a 50-foot height; diameter of the trunk is 5 feet 9 inches; circumference of the trunk is 18 feet 7 inchees; spread of foliage is 156 feet. The average length of the main lateral limbs is 60-66 feet from the trunk; average circumference of the limbs at the trunk is 7 1/2 feet; the tree forms almost 16,000 feet of shelter; and laterial roots go out 150 feet. See that abandoned building in the back of the tree, these beautiful flowers were still

Photo Sixty Five – Sunday Editing

By Tiffany on March 20, 2011 / Blog, Nature, Photo of the Day / 4 Comments

One thing I love about Sunday is getting to edit all the images that I shot throughout the week and over the weekend. Catching up on sleep isn’t so bad either. I love warm weather, sunglasses, flip flops, frozen cocktails with little umbrellas, capri pants, sleeping in the air conditioning and all the things that make up spring and summer. While I was out this weekend I caught the first sign of spring and was so excited I could almost hear the ice cream truck in the background as I was snapping these shots. I am in the process of giving our bedroom a mini-makeover in blue and red so these pictures were perfect. Can wait to print a standout mount!

Photo Forty Five – Fall

I love the colors of fall and this year everything seems to be popping. The gold trees seem exceptional crispy and shiny. I wish fall could be all year round minus the whole day light saving thing, I’m not a fan of the 5 o’clock darkness. I have always taken pictures of trees, I love their shape, bark, coloring and fresh air qualities. I think it’s incredible how they grow outward and upward year by year.

Photo Twenty Two – Orbs

Some people say Orbs are just fractions of light and some say they are spirits. I like to think they are my guardian angel reminding me she’s there. She always shows up when I need her and I SURE did need her with the hill I was hiking up when I caught this. I know it’s corny but thought of my guardian angel make me smile and smiling is contagious

Oh waterfalls are so much fun. I had to do a lot of playing to get my settings right but I found that I could get so many differnet looks. I think these images look very peaceful, I feel like I captured the spirit of the falls.

I love this time of year when the leaves start to change and the weather is just perfect, not too cold and not too hot. Dave and I took a hike…literally It was nice to get some fresh air and see the first signs of fall.
