Close Shot: Tree of Steel

 

This is Graft by Roxy Paine from his Dendroids tree series. Its locale is the National Art Gallery Sculpture Garden on the National Mall in Washington, D.C.

I call it Tree of Steel.

I'm cross-posting this with Elen Grey's Blog and putting the full length image there for my Single Shot Sunday post. Click on over. It's worth it.

Here's another view.

This tree belongs in Oz.

Sunday!

Triplets...

I looked at these trees and immediately thought of triplets. They look like they've all just come from the clip and curl.

Saturday!

The Poodle Effect...

Taken on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. You could actually use these as nature's umbrellas.

They made me think of poodles that have been trimmed.

The first daily tree post of June!

Framed...

This was taken last week somewhere on the National Mall, Washington, D.C. I love how the wee tree was so beautifully framed.
