Tree Guardian

Tree Guardian, 2019, sticks, wood, twine, wood glue, leaves and white cotton, dimensions variable Tree Guardian by Paula Broom

This sculpture entitled Tree Guardian is made almost entirely from tree parts – sticks and leaves. The leaves are hand sewn together with white cotton – I see that as a type of signature of mine – and fashioned into a pair of wings. It is given life only when the…

Quoth the raven, “Nevermore” - Edgar Allen Poe. . . @auburnbotanicgardens has many birds...we were fascinated especially by the peacocks flaunting their dazzling tail feathers in striking displays of courtship to the many resident peahens!! But it was this beauty that caught my eye!! . .

I simply love these woodlands near my mother’s home in my native Devon in England. I photographed these trees last year when visiting my family, using my Fujifilm XT-1 and my then new Fujinon 18-135mm, that I bought especially for that trip. In case you didn’t know, I have an ongoing project shooting trees: I am passionate about preserving more trees for the future as they help humans in so many ways and are beautiful as well. Even though I used a Fujifilm black and white film simulation, the leaves and trees in this black and white photo still look lovely leafy and green. . . #CameraProFujifilmPreserve . . #igersdevon #placeswelive #treeguardian #treevenerationsociety #tvs_trees #naturelovers #naturephotography #natureinspo #inspiredbynature_ — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/2Yu8KVD

Loved the light on the last of the flowers but the sculptural leaves are still hanging in there.

I’m making this the last shot I post of #steelwoolspinning from our #instameet last weekend. @bazza_snaps and @nath341 set this up so we had Sydney’s stunning Opera House and Harbour Bridge in the background - how cool is that? And I can’t tell you how much fun it was!!! 💫 . . #awim_2019 #igerssydney #igersaustralia #steelwool_photography #steelwoolphotography #steelwool #sydneylocal #sydneycommunity #photocommunity #photoshoot #sydney #longexposure #nightphotography #fujifilmx_au #fujinon18135mm #fujixaus #fujifilmx_global #ig_australia #wow_australia2019 — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/3236XFK

Last night’s Australia Wide Instameet was amazing!!! At the time of shooting this, my finger tips were literally numb and not long after I got rather wet from an errant wave splash - but it was so fun - it was worth it!! Thanks to team members Nathan and Barry for being so awesome with the wire wool spinning and the lights!!! This is Nathan in full flow 👌 . . #awim_2019 #igerssydney #igersaustralia #instameet #ig_australia #sydneylocal #sydneycommunity #sydney_insta #sydneylife #longexposure #globalnightsquad #nightshooters #fujifilmx_au #fujixaus #fujifilmx_global #fujinon16mmf14 — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/2KQeEKb
