Whether they are oaks, maples, redwood, pines or palms, nature photographers are inspired by the shapes, textures and colors of trees especially as they display their seasonal changes.  Trees are reassuring evidence of nature’s cycles and provide spiritual refreshment and heightened appreciation of our senses.

What is the good of your stars and trees, your sunrise and the wind, if they do not enter into our daily lives?

E. M. Forster
