Hello to all Filipino Hivers,
How's your day going? Hope everything's well on your end..
Mine is simple and quiet..
I just went for a walk and took photos,, a little slice of nature therapy! šæ
I saw these wonderful and tall trees while walking and exploring..
like,, seriously tall!!
They felt like nature's skyscrapers, making me feel small in the best way possible..
I had to stop and take a bunch of photos of them..
I even made two versions of each shot.. the vibrant colored version and a classic black and white version!!
šø Looking up: The tree trunk perspective
In these photos,, I tried to capture the feeling of standing right at the base of a huge tree and looking straight up!! š³

The rough, reddish-brown bark of the tree trunk looks so cool and rugged up close..
It almost looks fuzzy or like a huge carpet!!
The camera angle makes the trunk look like a giant slide pointing right up to the sky..
You can see the bright blue sky peeking through the green leaves and spiky needles..
Some of the leaves are a happy, bright green, making the whole scene pop!!
 |  |
The black and white shot takes away all the color,, but you can still see all the cool shapes of the leaves and the fluffy clouds floating by.,
It makes the texture of the bark and the branches stand out even more..

š² These pictures show what it looked like walking along the path, surrounded by the towering trees... š³
The ground is covered in dirt, leaves and a few small roots, making a nice, crunchy path to walk on..
you can even spot a small picnic area with some tables waiting for the next visitor..
 |  |
The trees here are lined up like nature's own fence posts, stretching up so high you can barely see the tops..
Their trunks are mostly straight and tall, covered in that cool, textured bark..
The color versions are rich and full of life with all the shades of green..
but the black and white versions feel a little more moody and mysterious, like a scene from an old movie..
It really emphasizes the shadows and the heights of those trees!!
It was just a wonderful reminder to look up and appreciate the simple beauty around us..
Sometimes, all you need is a quiet walk and some big, beautiful trees!!
Which version do you like best,, the bright colors or the dramatic black and white?!
