A lonely sycamore grove
![]()
Out in the San Diego National Wildlife Refuge where I’ve been taking my daily walks, there is a river — I use that term loosely because if you saw what we call a river, you’d laugh your head off — running through the place. It’s the Sweetwater River. Since there is some water in it, there are some river bottom trees growing along it, such as willows, cottonwoods, and sycamores. I came across a small sycamore grove yesterday which made a beautiful picture with the morning sun shining on it. I took two pictures and had Photoshop merge them:

Nice one. I love trees
Very beautiful trees, but a little to shiny for Zoey TCC I think
Ha–it looks like you’re right!
Trees are so powerful and this one says it all! Beautiful picture. Blessings, Patty
I just love the sycamore trees that grow along the Little Miami where I live. I have one that is my favorite tree. I go there when I need to think. This is a great photo.
I understand. When I want to get away from it all, to think, to relax, to contemplate, to just do nothing, I go visit Mother and Father Nature in all their beauty.
looks good. can’t tell you photoshop it.
Nice photos! No idea how I lost you. I think I must have hovered over the ‘following’ button or something. I don’t think you’re the first either as I’ve just realised that I’ve lost another blogger. Glad to see you manage to postpone the end of the world, I’m very grateful
