Monochrome madness this week is hosted by Sarah from Travel with Me and the topic is trees. Looking through my archives I see I have many photos of trees, we are surrounded by enormous trees where we live.
To be without trees would, in the most literal way, to be without our roots.”

I did take a few new photos at the weekend especially for this challenge. I’m not sure they would look better in green though!
Taken at one of our favourite places to visit on a Sunday, Chapel Farm in the Swan Valley.
The trees above are our neighbours and provide wonderful shade during the summer. The only problem with these are the red berries that fall and become squished onto the tiles! After taking this photo yesterday I saw this cheeky fellow peeking through. It looks AI generated but I assure you it’s not.
My dear hubby attempting to climb to the top of the Gloucester Tree in Pemberton, but I put the brakes on, as I was too worried that he might fall.
Playing around with photos with different editing tools is a lot of fun, I used Snapseed and the software on my S22 for these edits.

I’m glad you were able to find such a good variety of trees to share! The selective colouring on that bird is really striking, and I think the palm worked particularly well in monochrome 🙂 And such a cute photo of the kids in the tree too – your grandkids??
Thanks Sarah, I enjoy challenges like these, just have to set aside some time, as I do like to play around and not just slap some up!
Yes my little munchkins
Beautiful collection of trees. I’m glad that you talked him out of climbing up that tree- I would be nervous for him too doing that 🙂
Great tree gallery! That image of your husband climbing that tree captures a great story. I can imagine how apprehensive you might have been.
Thanks Egidio, he thinks he’s a young boy!
Wonderful trees Alison, I love the little guy sticking out of the tree.
Thanks Leanne, cute wasn’t he
Your choices are amazing Ali. I love the burst of colour with the bird and the fun that your hubby and grandkids are having on the trees.
Bamboo forest shot is especially interesting. Reminds me of the bamboo forest we visited in Japan.
Thanks, we had forests of them also when living in Hong Kong
