The incredibly beautiful Yosemite National Park, California USA tour 2008
Sun rays break through in the Giant Forest in Sequoia National Park, highlighting the beautiful fall colors.
These beautiful dogwood trees were blazing with color under the giant Sequoias. The huge trees must provide just the right cover for these dogwoods and the sight of all the colors under the thick canopy was amazing! – Sequoia National Park, California – Oct. 2007 Nikon D200, Nikkor 18-200 mm VR lens Featured in CALIFORNIA SOUND on Oct. 12, 2008 / Featured in FALLING LEAVES on Sept. 12, 2009

An as is shot of our favorite “Standing Peaople” or Pine Trees near our cabin ;) A tree that cannot be confused with any others – I must concede / Its evergreen branches conceive cones, while some conceal seeds / The pinon, with a taste like confection, which connoisseur birds feed / I must confess, the one most condusive for my eyes, is the blue spruce breed These trees do console my winter spirit with their life so consistent / Continuous shelter for the falcons and birds, whose travels are distant / Unconditionally they give of their flesh, which contain constructing assistant / In addition to needs for economic growth, we’re convinced and persistent An icon Sequoia, the tallest conifer of all, towers as high as days in the year / The only species able to conquer death, by conjuring life, when its base is cut clear / Conservation efforts aplenty, on the Pacific coast despite a consumerism frontier / I’ve had many conversations of concern against so many black marketers My conscience speaks loudly to those driven by greed / Who try to convince me – when they’re condensed, they are much like weeds / I’m interconnected to those who contribute to my medicinal needs / By no means conventional, though content with success and Godspeed The traditions of Christmas, I will not conform to, by cutting one down / A concept of constraint, receiving no congratulations, but frowns / When we light our live one out under the constellations – the only in town / It’s our own beacon to condole all conifers slain for a holiday crown. tkrosevear 2007 An exercise in using as many words containing “con”, this poem contains 42, inspired by TREES.

The smooth ethereal effect of my camera’s long exposure on a horizontal view of the Marble Fork of the Kaweah River in Sequoia National Park. For the record, I had slipped and fallen into this raging river perhaps 10 minutes previously. After removing soaked clothes and regaining my composure and thanking God I didn’t drown, I set up my camera and tripod and shot this upstream image. Camera: 5D, polarizing lens on a Canon 24-70mm lens, 5 sec, exposure, ISO speed 50, focal length 51.0, White Balance-Shade, and a few adjustments in Photoshop.

Oil on canvas, 24×36 This is a portrait of my friend Daya from a photo-shoot in the Sequoia National Park of California, July of 2004. The forests and waterways of California’s Sierra Nevada Mountains are some of the most scenic and beautiful in the world, and the light changes constantly. This was taken in the morning. We had already been shooting for an hour when the roll of film I had in the camera came off the spool, ruining the whole roll. We had to start all over and, of course, the lighting had totally changed by then. Daya, a native of Iran, is an expert in nutrition and ayurvedic medicine.
I ran across this wonderful carving in the redwood forest and just had to take a photo. There are some wonderful wood carvers in the forest who work simply with a chain saw and raw talent. /

Had to walk a mile in the snow to see this beauty.
Had to walk a mile in the snow to see this tunnel tree. In my youth I am sure I drove through this in an automobile with my family. It is dead now and time has left it’s mark in many ways…
These amazing trees were planted in the Otways in 1938. When you walk in under these trees its like you’ve come accross another world. The leaves that have fallen are a rich red and walking on them is soft, quiet and spongy. As you look up you realise why its so dark with their massive straight trunks supporting the light blocking canopy. / This is the most unique spot I have come accross. I hope you can gather some sense of what its like under these still young giants. / Three shot HDR processed in photomatix pro. / Canon 40D and 10-22mm EFS lens
This shot shows the contrasting flora of the Otway’s seperated by a small creek. This area of the Otways is simply known as the Red Woods / 3 shot HDR processed in photomatix pro. / Exposures :- -2, o, +1 / Canon 40D and 10-22mm efs lens.

A Sequoia with words from the ages…
General Sherman is the name of a Giant Sequoia with a height of 275 feet (83.8 metres). As of 2002, the volume of its trunk measured about 1487 cubic meters, making it the largest non-clonal tree by volume. The tree is located in the Giant Forest of Sequoia National Park in the United States, east of Visalia, California. The tree is believed to be between 2,300 and 2,700 years old. In 1879, it was named after American Civil War general, William Tecumseh Sherman, by naturalist James Wolverton, who had served as a lieutenant in the 9th Indiana Cavalry under Sherman. The tree was identified as the largest, in a 1931 dispute involving the nearby General Grant tree, after which wood-volume was the widely accepted determining-factor. In January 2006 the largest branch on the tree (seen most commonly, in older photos, as an “L” or golf-club shape, protruding from about 1/4th down the trunk) broke off. There were no witnesses to the incident, but the branch—bigger around than the trunks of most trees, with a diameter of over 2 m (6 feet) and a length of over 30 m (100 feet)—smashed part of its enclosing fence and cratered the pavement of the walkway surrounding the sequoia. The breakage, however, is not believed to be indicative of any abnormalities with the tree’s health, and may even be a natural defense-mechanism against adverse weather conditions. The branch loss did not change the General Sherman’s status as the largest tree, as its size has been calculated using measurements of trunk volume, excluding branches. /
