I keep passing you by all the while I should be thanking you Day 26

All the things I take for granted, all the things I ignore, all these things and creatures I should be thankful for... The tree, for example, I pass thousands daily and never think about breathing, writing, heating... Well in the summer I think of shade and definitely notice if there's none around but that's about it.

When it rains, the bark gets washed and shows more colours. The texture is simply amazing, I wish I had sharper lens with me (and that it wasn't raining so I wouldn't need that high ISO).

Oh, yeah, this one I needed to pull through Photoshop to make the tree (some ;-D) justice. I played with layers to bring the colours out - just to pull them back to what they're in real life. Sometimes digitals exasperate me - colours just wash out. Then again I would not be doing 365 if I had to use the darkroom daily, would I?! And that's not the only reason why I love my Canon D ;-D

Thank you tree.
