variations on a theme

I’ve spent a better part of this rainy day playing with photo apps and photos. When going through photos, and not just today, I am reminded that I am drawn to the same subjects again and again.

The wordpress weekly photo challenge for the week is variations on a theme.   With all these similar photos, this seemed a pretty good day to post a collage of some of my recent trees.  Trees are not a new obsession; I’ve been taking pictures like this for years.  I think my mother may still have one of early trees framed in her house.

I love their structure, texture, lines, and the life they emanate.  So often when I look at trees, I see a huge nervous system reaching out for the world.  If you’ve ever seen any of the Body World exhibits you may know what I mean.

I’ve been playing with ProCamera, Marksta, Snapseed, and Adobe Photoexpress today.  I’d love to know what some of your favorite photo apps are and why.
