Mesmerized

Lately on my hikes around were I live, I've been in awe of the trees I've been surrounded by my whole life. The enormous oaks surrounding the are mesmerizing to me. Can't tell you why, they're just great looking trees. Again I went out today hiking with my camera and just my 24-70 2.8 and was drawn to the trees. They were amazing up against the winter sky carrying a new storm due in tomorrow.

These are not all meant to be beautiful photos, more a study of the shape and silhouettes.
