My mother is part Anishinaabe (Ojibwe) and I have always been attracted to a stand of white birch trees. While on a shoot with some other photographers I expressed my vision and desire to find a stand of birch trees and the whole morning they pointed out every birch tree we passed.  I finally realized that maybe I wasn't clear...a stand meaning lots and lots of birch trees all together!  :)

Then by a fluke of timing I saw it...the stand!  We swung around and spent about 40 minutes taking in the beauty.

 The tree spirits were very strong here.

That's a great shot Starkgrl! I love your work.

Thank you so much Knarly!!!

So magical. I've never seen so many together like that. I wish I had a house just surrounded by them. They're gorgeous. Thanks for sharing this with us. :)

It definitely was magical. The other photographers were in awe of the location we found. Thank you for your words :)

haha magralex...thank you so much!

Gorgeous shot! I'd love to reproduce it as wall paper and use it as a feature wall, mural. Well done.
