The Wizard Tree {One frame}

On By ArtyMissKIn Photography4 Comments

Hello my Friends!

This weeks One Frame post was snapped while hiking through one of my favourite hiking spots. 

I call it The Wizard Tree! 

Is it just a tree with amusingly placed leaves or is it a wizard, turned into a tree during a wizards duel?!

Either way its a fabulous tree taken in a small, but beautiful place called St Breward which is a key part of Bodmin Moor and sits happily about 700ft above sea level (one of the highest points in Cornwall).

Its an amazing place to walk and has a rugged beauty, it is an Area of Oustanding Natural Beauty (ANOB) as well as a Site of Special Scientific Interest and a great place to spot Pearl-bordered fritillary butterflies.

There are many beautiful trees, but this is one of my favourites!

So yeah, that’s it for this week, remember sometimes its just nice to be a tree watcher. Hopefully next weeks post is either gonna be a new embroidered butterfly or possibly some more plant folklore!

Thank you so much for reading this post, and I wish you a prosperous week ahead!

ps. if you like my nature photography and fancy seeing more of it I’ve joined insta @artymissk maybe see you there!

Ore Stained Landscape {One frame}

On By ArtyMissKIn Photography

Hello my Friends!

I’ve got a new One frame to share with you this week, I recently spent the day at a place called Wheal fortune – which is an old Cornish mining sight used for mining copper and tin up until the 1880’s. 

Anyway, its been an age since I posted a landscape shot (as opposed to a tree shot) and this was such an amazing setting to be in. The mining systems in Cornwall are incredible – this is actually where the pollutants washed away and seeing how the ores have stained the landscape through human activity is weirdly heavy on the soul.

It does however make a beautiful landscape to photograph – it kinda reminds me of a Bob Ross painting (he was an oil painter in the 80/90’s and an all round nice guy) he liked to paint happy little trees…I’m very much of the opinion of in life always try to be a bit like Bob Ross!

I love the layers of this image, there’s the reflective water, the red/orange stained rocks which moves into the bright and rich tones of green and a moody sky. The views of the whole site were both amazing and horrific – its comes as a shock when you see how we (as humans) are willing to destroy the landscape in search of metals and the damage it leaves behind.

That’s it for this week, I hope you like the little slice of landscape serenity. How is the weather where you are? Next weeks post is shaping up to be a new surprise Butterfly tale! 

Thank you so much for reading this post, and I wish you a prosperous week ahead!

Magnificent Forest Dweller {One frame}

Hello my Friends!

Can you believe it, we’ve already six days into September?! Before too long the Christmas decorations will be up and we’ll be singing carols!

Anyway, I thought I’d share one of my favourite trees with you this week in a new One Frame. I genuinely think trees are one of the best things about our planet, they do so much for our eco systems and are so easily overlooked or destroyed. This particular one is on one of my favourite hikes in a little out of the way place called Saint Breward. 

Its old and gnarly with so many stout branches snaking off in all directions. I love that at some point someone decided to try and make a swing…although I think its was quite a while ago.

One of the things I love about tree-watching is trying to find faces in them and I’ve stared long enough at this one to convince myself that it does have a face (at least eyes and a nose anyway). I also think it would be perfect for a treehouse.

It won’t be long before all of its lovely green leaves turn brown and litter the ground for the long dark of winter.

But it will still be a beautiful tree.

I hope you like this little slice of tree-ish heaven as much as I do, can you see the face in the tree? Thank you so much for reading this post, and have a lovely, nature filled week!

Autumn tree

On By ArtyMissKIn Photography

I genuinely think autumn is my favourite season the colours and textures are just so amazing. This beautiful tree is an old friend standing in the autumn sun…aren’t trees just magical, being all leafy and sucking carbon from the atmosphere. This is one of my favourites, although the colours of summer lingered a lot later than normal.

Enjoy some warm and calming autumn colours…

I thought I’d try and put together a little collection of things relating to this old tree.

Beautiful tree {One frame}

On By ArtyMissKIn Photography

Hello friends, just a quick photography post on this lovely sunny Friday. Isn’t this one of the most beautiful trees? Standing there all glorious under the sun!

The truck is massive and the bark is so rough, its as though the poor thing has been scratched. Its even lost several limbs which I imagine were beautiful but in the way of passersby – it’s so human to think ‘oh that 500 year old tree branch is in the way of our new footpath lets chop it off.’ If I could have any tree in which to build a house it would be this one!
