I spotted this tree along the lake shoreline, and even though bare, I thought it was beautiful.
I tried several versions of this one, and ended up with this one.
Thank you for commenting, have a nice day.
We could be getting some of those severe storms that hit west of here later today, but I do hope their wrong.

The starkness of the tree really is beautiful against that blue sky! Wonderful and superb capture Sandi!!!

Never argue with an idiot. They'll drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.
Yes it is beautiful Sandi, especially against the blue sky. Peaceful scene.

Smooth seas do not make skilful sailors.
This is one beautiful looking capture the colours are stunning and the shot is beautiful balanced as well.Love the blues in the sky and water and the tree against the sky is amazing along with the light and sharp detail too.Well done to a lovely post Sandi.

It's the dominant but barren tree against the heavily treed far shore that does it for me. Great perspective, Sandi.

Excellent shot, Sandi. I agree ... the tree is beautiful . Love the lighting and the color.
I am with you certainly hope we don't get the severe weather they are calling for.

Awesome combination of colors, I really like the sky and clouds in the background. Great photo.

Bare trees always do it for me. You did a great job. When I was young we had a huge oak tree with limbs that reached out that seem to want to grab me from my second story bedroom window of which promptly I ducked under the covers. I was six years old then. I still have some vivid memories though. How about you?

Life's moments are sweet. I just want to capture all that I can of them.
Great shot of the park bench, Tigs, but that tree really throws off the composition. :-)
I agree with Frank. For some reason I prefer the drama of bare trees. I imagine you did this, but I would have shot the tree from every available angle and tried one in the B/W contest. For me, this one's a solid 8.5. The far shore really adds depth to the shot as well.

I may be schizophrenic, but at least I have each other.
A really gorgeous shot Sandi. A lovely place to relax.

Spend a few minutes each day being grateful for what you have and who you have to share it with.
This is so beautiful, relaxing and inviting place. Very attractive shot. I wish I was there, Sandi. Maybe we could meet there. LOL

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
It's got no clothes on!!!! Naked tree!!!!! I really do like this shot. The framing especially.

Emptiness is not nothingness. It is simply the opposite of full of it.
Oh this is marvelous girlfriend, I like the composition and capture, plus striking colours and lighting

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
I must state that I have never been a fan of the bare tree. There are always up to something. There are either getting ready to bud new leaves and thus in the future become great hiding spots for the dreaded chipmunks that haunt and terrorize my very existence. Or they are old, decrepit and just waiting for you to turn your back and drop limbs on you if not just outright fall and squish you when you least expect it. I'm sure the chipmunks are involved somehow but I just haven't proved it yet.
On the other hand I can't fault you for the bench. Good composition of the scene and great lighting and colours in the photo. Nicely done Sandi.
