Truly dramatic, and I won't say a thing about the tree being in the middle...somehow I can't argue when someone gets as good as you do/are :)

It looks ominous, like something sinister is going to happen. The contrast of the dark sky and field is intense. Wonderful image Mick. :)

Sorry to all...I haven't been commenting as much as I would like to lately. I'm a 9 to 5er again (actually more like 8:15 to 7:30 these days!!) Don't worry, I still see all of your wonderful posts, if only for a second.

That brooding sky is amazing. It does look like part of a crop circle on the ground. I love the lightings on this.

wow I love this one. That sky is so threatning I love it. I can almost smell the rain about to come speeding out of that cloud. The tree looks great against the background. 120 years old and poses so nicely.

Yet another wonderful capture by you, going right into my faves.

"Soak up the sun
Affirm life's magic
Be graceful in the wind
Stand tall after a storm
Feel refreshed after it rains
Grow strong without notice
Be prepared for each season
Provide shelter to strangers
Hang tough through a cold spell
Emerge renewed at the first signs of spring
Stay deeply rooted while reaching for the sky
Be still long enough to
hear your own leaves rustling."
