Helloooooo Steemers!
I'm happy to present another original photography series taken with my SmartPhone My Favorite Tree - in Central Park, NYC.
My posts revolve around things I really love and one of those things as many of you know is Central Park which I call my backyard because in reality I don't have a backyard living in the city. I also love trees! Not just because my name means tree, but because like many people who love nature, I just can't get enough of those lovely perennial plants with elongated stems, supporting branches, leaves and all! When I have the chance of it (which is not as often as I would like) I get into nature and there's nothing I love more than to find a lone, magnificent tree for they make such beautiful photographs and tell such a wonderful story!
In New York City, it's rather hard to find the lone tree. But there are in fact very many lovely ones which I will pause to gaze upon before having to hitch my heels away. This is a new series dedicated to those moments and those trees that make me pause in the day and feel grateful that I have eyes in my head and that I'm alive! I'm happy to share that with you - My Favorite Tree - In Central Park, NYC
This post features an amazing tree that is near my home. The tennis courts of Central Park are in the background and The Clubhouse, which was opened in the 1930's to accompany the courts originally built in 1913.
The Central Park tennis courts are a big favorite with city residents as they offer a reasonable place to play tennis in a very expensive town. I often walk past them or watch my husband and son play with my dog Mac at my side. If you visit NYC and ever want to play a game in the famed Central Park while taking in the beautiful Jackie Kennedy Onassis Reservoir just steps away, it costs $20! A nice way to spend a few hours in The Big Apple!

Grazie!
As a kid I used to like to draw trees like that, I found it interesting how the branches were so chaotic.
Anyways, I really like how the blue sky contrasts with the tree and that this is a part of Manhattan that I have never seen before.

Awwww! The very same to you! :D
ah .. I like trees too!
it is a kind of love that is not in many people in the country that is hung up in the bald to open space to park the car in front of the house or to expand the villa's throat view. unfortunately it is a love that the education system can not teach.
I also loved it for you too! and what a beautiful photo!
soft and naive colors .. perfect, splendid tree. congratulations :)
I miss you when you are not here for too long. please do not get lost in a place :) PS : my husband said that it is not clear what i wrote here...so i want to say that my english is not too good so i use Google translate...and it makes things messy.Anyway i want to say that however we cannot speak in English i appreciate your works.
Hello my dear! It's so nice to see you! Lovely as always! Thank you! I agree! Trees can be ignored, I'm happy you love them as much as I do! A special club! ;) xo

Hellooooooo dear friend! Thanks so much! With trees in the city come buildings and other things too! I try to make the most of it, while I dream to visiting forests full of trees! Soon!

Thx Verity! Central Park trees are my salvation! It's only fitting they get a post, lol! Hope all is well! x
Oh yes they definitely deserve it, I love trees, I think they have amazing energy to them and always wonder what they have seen over the years, can't wait to see more urban trees! xx
Me tooooooo! If only they could speak! But, I believe they do! Thx so much for your support! Big xo
I know! No problem, look forward to the next post :) xxx
That is an awesome tree! There's one in a park that take the dog out for runs that has fallen down in the wind but not died, a new branch has gone upwards so it's kind of like two trees now, one lying horizontal on the ground and the other going straight up, joined together at the roots. Isn't nature friggin' awesome!
Yes, very awesome! Can't keep a good tree down! My brother has a unique elm tree on his property - a species that is supposed to lay down. Totally cool! Some New York nature people came over to photograph it. Boy, I need to get out of the city more! Thanks for stopping by! :D
That's so strange, I've never heard of one that's SUPPOSED to lie down!
Yeah, I was surprised too! I thought it had fallen down and continued to thrive but my brother gave me the scoop! I'll take a few photos when I'm next upstate. It's not often these days as my son took our car to college. Oh boy!
I'll try and get a photo of the one near me that HAD fallen down and continued to thrive! We can exchange weird tree photos! Oh dear, that's pretty generous of you!!
Wow! That sounds super FUN! Let's do it! OY, kids! They get more expensive as they grow, lol!
Awesome photography dear this is so beautiful to look onto
Thank you cutiepie! :D
hahaha you are lucky to find this lone tree, its amazing and epic tree i see,, a nice post as usual ,, i am your fan
see my post as you see every post of mine
Thx my dear! I'll pop over now! :D
Gut.
@ilanaakoundi..wow very beautiful view ..looking awesome.. nice photography... i am new to steemit my dear friend plz guide me and support me..
Glad to see you posting more! I am also a big fan of nature and we have a small garden in my family home were we grow some vegetables and fruits during spring to summer. There are quite a few houses in Dublin with lovely gardens and I always feel bad for those that don't have one, its such a great place to have a nice , warm coffee at.
I love how the clouds look in this image, looks so peaceful!
