An Arbor Day Tribute To Northeast Kansas City Trees

 

Loose Park In Black And White

               From April 1st walk in the Park.   Color or black and white?   The image will always tell you.

Sleeping Trees

Went on an eagle hunt Friday afternoon but no luck... hate to waste a trip.. so shot some trees. They're much more cooperative anyway. Nikon D3, ASA 800, 80-400 zoom, f-stop varied. All taken on and below Scarritt Point.

Above and below, I particularly like sycamores... this is an elderly one... probably 80 years old or so. I liked in it color and in black and white...
Below, same sycamore with some of its friends....

Tree Rats in Abundance

With three walnut trees surrounding my back yard I have an abundance of arboreal varmints clambering everywhere. When they aren't messing around in your attic or eating the well-tended harvest of tomatoes squirrels are kinda cute. With apologies for any unintended offense to commenter RJSciurus who takes his squireliness very seriously. All but one of these shots are of the same animal who would actually stop and pose when I aimed the camera at him/her.

WHAT?
