TREES
Trees are Earth's eldest storytellers. Some stand solitary and strong. Others weave together in cathedral-like canopies. Each photograph captures not just a tree, but a presence, an ancient resilience deeply connected to the cycles of life that define our shared experience of the natural world. These are portraits of patience, endurance, and quiet magnificence. This gallery, including California's distinctive Joshua Trees, Missouri's autumn hardwoods, iconic live oak tunnels of Oak Alley Plantation and Wormsloe Historic Site, golden aspens of Colorado, and Florida's Spanish moss-draped giants, holds images that honor the silent guardians of our diverse lands.
