It may be work, it may be play, it may be near, it may be away. So here is the challenge - to shoot and post one photograph a day on this site. These photographs are a kind of diary of things I find interesting. I am also thinking that there will be days when I am unable to shoot, so on those infrequent occasions, I will post a photograph done on another day, but one that still feels important to me. - Ken Spencer

The Amazing Sycamores
These Sycamore trees have fascinated me since I moved to Sea Cliff in 1966. They go through cycles of growth, when they have full round, bushy tops, and then every 10 years or so, they are trimmed back to their stumpy branches. Shoots grow from the ends of the stumps and the cycle of growth begins again. The trees look amazing in late afternoon sunlight, in the rain and fog, in the snow, and at sunset. I never tire of looking for photographs here.
Hello Ken, for the past 25 years I have hung and admired a great photo of the sycamores in the fog which you gave to my parents in 1976. If I had a nickle for every compliment I got on the photo.....
