December 20, 2010

Still no change this week. So, I decided to shoot from a different angle.

December 13, 2010


Don't let the blue sky fool you into thinking it was warm out today. No, no, no. It was as cold as 14 degrees Fahrenheit! And the amazing thing is, there is still no snow on Monday's Tree! (Yay!)

December 6, 2010

I honestly thought there would be snow on Monday's Tree this week. But it looks like it didn't last. What does fascinate me, though, is that there are still a few stubborn leaves hanging on. Will they make it through the winter?

November 29, 2010

I thought we might see a little bit of frost on Monday's Tree this week. That didn't happen, thanks to a balmy 52 degree day. But I love the marble sky.

Monday's Tree - November 22, 2010

What a difference from last week! This week's Monday's Tree sat against a gloomy backdrop of dirty, drizzly clouds on a warm and muggy November day.

Monday's Tree - November 15, 2010

On this cool November day, I caught a mid-day moon over the mostly blue sky resting peacefully next to the bear branches of Monday's Tree.

The Story Behind Monday's Tree

Every Monday, I sit in a meeting room that has windows on three sides of its walls. Outside one of the windows is a tree. Well, there are many trees. But this one, in particular, catches my eye every week.

I suspect it's the time of day and the position of the sun during these meetings that make this scene so beautiful. It doesn't matter what time of year it it, this scene - with the tree and sky behind it - always looks so interesting to me. The clouds are often fluffy and have just the right amount of light bouncing off of them. On the rare occasion that there are no clouds, the perfectly blue sky makes a brilliant backdrop for the tree's green leaves, or its colorful leaves, or its dry, brown branches.

So, I decided I would bring my camera to work with me every Monday and take a picture of this tree. I'll post the picture every week so that we can enjoy watching the ever-changing seasons and the effects they have on Monday's Tree.
