Framing With Trees

Last Sunday it was very rainy, but that just seemed to refresh the colours in my garden and yard. I took this photo quickly as the rain was dripping down and afterwards, realized that I had included one of my large maple trees in the picture, like a frame on the left side. I liked the effect.

It reminded me that I had taken this photo about two months ago, when I intentionally used some trees as frames for a scene (in Major's Hill Park in Ottawa). The two pictures are different - the first was taken in the country, the second in the city; the first was taken in the fall, the second when it was still summer; the first is all foggy and misty, the second clear and bright. However, both have trees as frames for views of gardens, lending an interest to the scenes.
