...and suddenly they were everywhere...

C'est très beau!

un grand MERCI, guenievre !

Du scheinst umzingelt. ;-)

aber ich hab auch wieder nach hause gefunden (ich war dann doch schneller) ! ;-)
herzlichen dank, andreas !

great, "trees are gonna get you" if you run you'll just be further into the forest . . .

indeed, so we have to stay calm in such a moment... ;-)
many thanks, stoker !

..and looked at me full of mistrust
what I would do here
in their realm... ...what could you do there but filling with peace, beauty and real love .....
wonderful realm my friend !!!

this i told them, so they were letting me go... ;-)
thank you very much, dear friend !

Your photos always fascinate me, Robert. I love your vision.

thank you so much, dear diana !

Breathtaking view! Love the colors too!

c'est vrai, il n'y a pas besoin beaucoup d'imagination...
merci, dom !

LOL! =D I suppose you are not at home in the woods =P Go closer and you may become friends with them ;-) For me trees are my nude models.

trees are wonderful, but in a crowd they may scare one... like humans... ;-)
thanks a lot, sami !

superbe futaie*******************
belle journée Roby ! kiss♫

mille mercis, chère amie, pour l'invitation aussi !
bonne journée et beaucoup de soleil pour toi ! ;-)

Splendida,congrats!

thanks a lot, yoko, for all invitations, too !

magic work here
love the tones.........!

thank you very much, dear annamaria, for your invitation, too !

the forest isn't much different of a human crowd, Robert. life makes the similarity.

what you had done among trees was their launch up above into the sky, and they couldn't dream of such a wonder.

so nice words, armando, thanks a lot, also for invitations !

Buenas y cálidas vibraciones! ;-)

what would we be without vibrations ? :-)
muchas gracias, rafael !

Excellent shot!

ADMIRED in
Not only Flickr

thanks a lot, yoko !

C'est une pure merveille, Robert ! **********

J'espère qu'il y a aussi du soleil chez toi !

ouiii, le printemps arrive...
mille mercis, chère christiane !

Wow, this is just GORGEOUS!! Looks like wood block art, really stunning!! Congratulations on #1 Explore!! :)

i don't care about the rankings on explore, they're not made in an objective way there...
thank you very much, janet !

o0o I hope you would sit down and look up to the sky ...
and assure them ... which I am sure you did ;-) oOo

but: sitting down means that the trees are becoming larger ! :-)
thank you very much, dear bev, also for invitations !

oh yes they tower above us ... look down ...
but ... perhaps not in anger ;-) perhaps to
watch over you ;-) and you are always
welcome ... ;-)

and congratulations on explore ;-)

no tree hasn't hurt me yet by its fault, so i'm a friend of them (and i hope, they like me, too) !... ;-)
thanks a lot, dear bev !
(for your congrats have a look to my answer to gerda, please...) ;-)

And what about you?
I´ve been looking for and you are nowhere!
;-)

Beautiful image.
Great work.
Kisses

i'm not always in front of the lense, dear rita, sometimes i'm behind ! :-))
thank you very much, dear friend !

Gefällt mir sehr!

das freut mich, liebe ines, herzlichen dank !

They don't look threatening to me, just very curious:-) Wunderrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrbar!

what a pity that i can't speak their language (only in very quiet and special moments)...
herzlichen dank, liebe eefje, auch für die einladung !

und lass bloß keine Plastikflaschen rumliegen ;-) super Bearbeitung wie immer, Robert! Und mir ist schleierhaft, nach welchen Kriterien Bilder in Explore landen.

ich nehm grundsätzlich meinen müll wieder mit raus aus dem wald !
in früheren tagen waren algorithmen implementiert, die darüber bestimmten, wo ein bild auf der frontpage landet - das waren anzahl der sternchen und kommentare auf einen bestimmten zeitraum hin gesehen; soll heissen: die mitglieder stimmten quasi darüber ab, was für sie als repräsentativ erschien... nach dem "big change" hier hat die adminstration das grundlegend geändert, wobei dies auf eine äusserst intransparente art geschah. selbst gestandene mitglieder, die mithin die "what's hot"-gruppe administrieren, sind auf spekulationen angewiesen... ich persönlich habe den eindruck, dass sternchen und kommentare nur noch bedingt eine rolle spielen, die aktivitäten der bmitglieder sind offenkundig ein kriterium, ein anderes der geschmack der iperadmins... ein schelm, der da an zensur denken mag ! ;-)
herzlichen dank, liebe gerda !

Dass du nicht zu den "Nestbeschmutzern" gehörst, das dachte ich mir schon :) wir haben immer eine Spezialtasche in unserem Wagen oder Rucksack, wo alles reinkommt, was in den Abfalleimer gehört. Ich frage mich jedoch manchmal, was mit dem Müll geschieht, den wir so sorgsam trennen...Plastik hier rein...Metall da rein...Flaschen hier rein...Papier da rein. Würde gerne mal hinterher fahren und schauen, ob nicht doch alles wieder auf einem riesigen Haufen landet, aber wahrscheinlich hat Greenpeace das schon gemacht und würde Krach schlagen, wenn es so wäre...jedenfalls hoffe ich das.
Falls du mein Umweltgequatsche hier nicht haben willst...löschen ;-)

nachdem wir alles schön säuberlich getrennt haben (glas, papier, bio, rest) wird das ganze dann in den wald gekippt... SCHERZ ! ;-)
allerdings hatten wir schon genügend müllskandale (gelbe säcke in der dritten welt etc.)...
warum sollte ich deine beiträge löschen ? ich bin für jedes thema offen ! ;-)

o0o translation not toooooo good for me ... but in essence ... I admire
your work and am happy to visit your photostream and to enjoy the
creative image you have posted ... regardless of the criteria of explore,
I wish to just say congratulations as I would admire it anyway ;-) but
many will try to "copy" a style ;-) this I have noticed ... but only by going
back and looking and watching and seeing what a person posts do
you become familiar with their style and find it is recognisable as
theirs ... for me that is difference ... many will look I think in explore
and think ... ah ... I will try that ... I can do that ... and well they may ;-)
but it is the continued ability to create this effect that hallmarks the
" recognisable style" .. not typecast ;-) but style and flair ~ which
you have in abundance ;-) I hope translation also from English
is ok ;-) sometimes all gets lost in the translation, we can only
try ;-) o0o

PS: I note several changes to ipernity explore ... I smile and
at the games some people play ;-) you have talent and style
that is the difference ;-)

i always try it without translator (just for some specific words), so, please, forgive me my bad english ! :-)
to inspirate others to try the same as i do is an honor for me, but they have to find their own ways of treatment and processing - as i did... and i'm really not afraid - i'm using not just one program, and i use my programs in a pretty unconventional way... ;-)

o0o ;-) that is what makes you UNIQUE ;-) o0o

UNIQUE

very poetic words ( yours) ... I'm surprised ;-)) I love this job ! But - trees are always very patient for us ... :-)

i had one of my rare moments of inspiration... :-))
indeed, the trees haven't followed me when i was running out of the forest... :-)
thank you so much, dear belleuse, also for invitation !

Faszinierend sind sie, die Bäume ...
Faszinierend finde ich auch Deine Präsentation ihnen.
Gefällt mir sehr, sehr gut.

das freut mich sehr, liebe heide, herzlichen dank !

Beautiful work!!
Enjoyed in www.ipernity.com/group/thirtyfivefaves.

thank you very much, puzzler !

trees, especially old ones feel like friends who have seen a lot

oh yes, they have seen a lot... and i wonder why they're falling on our heads so rarely ! :-)
many thanks, wierd !
