'Filip's' Red Dawn?

(Beautiful shot with an interesting primeval look to it. Half expecting to see a dinosaur meander into the picture!)

Lol at the conifers gossiping when they think it's too early for the clogged one to be about.

This one was taken in Wheeler, Oregon a few years ago. People were pulling over to take this picture. One kid took a picture of it reflected on the side of his freshly washed car. I should have done that too, but I had been on the road for a few days and my car needed washing. I thought it was a good idea though. Mike

I have F. Nitidia seedlings about a year old (1 gallon) that I'd be interested in trading for your Musa Basjoo. Email me back if you like the idea.

Haha, well I was kinda kidding. When I went to my great grandpapa's in western Texas, I dont remember seeing hardly any trees. Some in people's yards but none along the highway. Just naked flat lands. Proly just thinkin that yall dont have any cause i'm used to seeing way more on the coast here. Here is a sunset from my home town. I cant take credit for the pic though. I found this one on line but we have them like this all the time. I just realized yours is a sun rise. I didn't see them too often back then, haha. The ones here in VA are just yellow and blind me on the way to work :(

Lovely Blue skies here in So. Oregon with a brisk breeze and warm 90+. We have been picking apricots and plums; quite yummy and in great abundance. DS took at least 20 lbs to the Men's Mission and said the men were really so thankful and happy to see them. Our thunder storms have left and warm to hot days are predicted.

Here's sunset at my place - the three Sequoiadendron giganteum 'Pendulum' are having the same conversation as those Cupressus in Edwin's photo!

Good grief F&F that is really something! It's like molten liquid is being stirred into the sky.

Sara & Ireena, thanks for showing us your nice pics!

The two big brothers watching my Pinetum are Cupressus nootkatensis 'Kanada' (l) and Cupressus nootkantensis 'Jubilee' (r)
In the middle there's their little sister Cupressus nootkatensis 'Strict Weeping'...

The photo of my garden at sunset was taken by my blog partner, Jan LeCocq, and, as I recall, was after I had repeatedly begged her to stop for the day and come in and have a glass of wine!

Edwin I like your Cupressus 'family'.

I'm glad on this occasion that she didn't stop ;0)

Wow, even if not a conifer, that last one is pretty spectacular!

Severnside, I am the writing half of our blog and she is the photography half. My part can be done at any time of the day or night, with refreshment at hand, without regard to weather, light, etc. She has to get up before first light, often forgo coffee, tough the elements and then repeat at the end of the day. I have finally learned to let her have her way!

This early winter sunset reminded me of this thread.
Only a solitary Cupressus nootkatensis 'Green Arrow' watching the sun set.

It looks like these beautiful skies are making the weeping Cupressus nootkatensis cultivars more special!

Awesome pictures everyone! Really brightens up a dark, cloudy day here in the northwest.

Amazing! Art with conifers. It shows an intersting characteristic and a mood. Keep this coming. Perfect for background in the desktop. zs
