Description This was taken with my new wide angle lens. It's the Canon EF-S 10-22mm, and I LOVE IT. It did cost a pretty penny, and it's the most expensive lens I have, but it's way better than my standard zoom lens. I LOVE IT SO MUCH.

So far, all I've done is take pictures of trees. Everything else here is ugly. I live in Minnesota and there's not even snow here yet. LOL. So, enjoy the pretty trees!

This picture is NOT stock, you may not use it as stock or for anything else!

DDD: THIS IS OUTSTANDING. I like tha I feel I can take part in how good this is - but we all know it's not the lens that makes a good photos. It's the photographer. Shit man, now I have to get me one too. You should look up stuff to see what kind of tricks and fun things you can do, so I can't live vicariously through you.

THANK YOU! This means a lot coming from you! I very much appreciate all your help and putting up with me when I was freaking out about my lens dilemmas. LOL <3

And yes! I should look up some suggestions about wide angle lenses. I know people use this particular lens for architecture. I'm totally going to look up more stuff! yay! great idea!

Very lovely picture. Is it bad that I think they look like nerves/veins? It looks nice with the sun shining on the bark like that. Can't wait to see more ^_^

Thank you! And I actually think that trees look very much like nerves and veins. It's very interesting how living plant tissue mimic living mammal tissue, isn't it? I just love trees!

You should take it from that angle in the spring when leaves start sprouting.

The title made me think of the lyrics in Quest for Camelot... reaching for the sky I stand alone~ Anyways- love this shot! It is so cool! it hasn't snowed here yet either, last year by this time we had already had like 2 or 3 blizzards it's been in the 40's and 50's pretty much since November

I'm glad you like the picture!

It has snowed here a few times, but has melted. It's odd for here. Usually we have snow here, too. It makes me a little nervous, like we're going to get it really bad later. But NOTHING can be worse than last winter, so hopefully it'll be okay. haha D:
