It looks like you're not getting that heavy East Coast rain today. I heard that Florida, too, was on stormwatch. This is a delightful sight against the blue with clouds. I think we're all ready for blue skies and nice weather this year.
I like the composition of the granches against the clouds and sky. I wonder about the shape of the tree. I looks like someone climbed it with a chain saw and hacked off all of the branches. I would be in favor of letting it grow out to is full leafiness, and thereby cover up the view of some of the shopping mall, which are rarely asthetic, as least from the parking lot.
Crape Myrtles are such beautiful trees... I never understand why we insist on stunting their growth and making them bushes... great photo by the way...
The sky is gorgeous.... but I do not get the tree. I am assuming it is something more indigenous to the area.... but that to me would be a dead tree.... or one you would see monkeys swinging from at the zoo....
That's a lovely sky, Jacob!!!
ReplyDeleteThe branches are beautiful too!
I loved it when I shot a similar one and when I see this one shot by you... I love it too... Nicely composed and equally nicely titled!

ReplyDeleteIs that the "Naked Tree" species native to Florida?

ReplyDeleteI like the thought that there are blue skies somewhere. We're supposed to have one heck of a storm here tomorrow.

ReplyDeleteYou have got to take another photo of this tree when it grows back!
ReplyDeletePretty please? :)
a prety hand in sky
ReplyDeleteHeavily pruned, ready for spring under that great sky of yours!
ReplyDeleteDon't know if this tree will exactly bloom - sad little brave thing.
ReplyDeleteNow you don't really have seasons in Florida - warm and hot maybe. How do you know it's spring?
At first I was 'stumped,' but I think this is a sycamore, no?
ReplyDeleteWhat a glorious sky.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shape!
ReplyDeletePoor tree---pruned to death. And yet.......MB
ReplyDeleteI wonder if that tree will ever bloom again...
ReplyDeleteIt is appealing to the heavens for life!
ReplyDeleteAre you sure? It doesn't look like it'll ever green again...

ReplyDeleteStick 'em up!
ReplyDeleteWe have some around here that look like that. The sky is a beautiful shade of blue!
ReplyDeleteWhen I look at it, my eyes are swept up to the top of the image, in other words to the sky -- nice shot.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely composition, and the sky doing its naturalness, by evoking dreams of spring.
ReplyDeleteI think bare branches are elegant. But I thought it was already spring in Ocala!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if it would make nice wood flooring?
