Of course trees are scenery. I would classify them with flowers - just as beautiful and equally photogenic.
In general, I like my lake shores without any trees, but sometimes trees add great character...

Is this a serious question? Does anyone think that trees are not part of the scenery? Even if you believe that trees block the scenery, I have to ask, scenery of what... more trees!

To you, is it movement or is it action, is it contact or just reaction, and you, revolution or just resistance, is this living or just existance? Yeah you, it takes a little more persistence to get up and go the distance.

I would almost always agree that trees are scenery. I went hiking once in western Tennessee. The land was as flat as a board. The trees and undergrowth was thick, thick, thick. It was the most monotonous hike I'd ever been on in my life, with very little to look at except trees and brush, bushes, and weeds. Didn't think the trees were terribly "scenic" on this hike. It also was the only trip I'd been on where I was absolutely glad I had a compass.

in a frame. Something about a single solemn tree, surviving on its own, to me mirrors the inner strength we all need to posess to survive in this world. I respect this tree. This one is still waiting for a suitable frame.

This fire-charred old stump was perched on the side of a bluff below Black and White Lakes.  Thought it made a great photo.

Even by themselves, trees are part of the scenery. Including the dead ones. I love hikes through old growth forest where you may not break out above the tree line. Scenery to one hiker may not be scenery to another. And thats ok

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore, dream, discover. -- Mark Twain

Trees can be scenery even when they're cut and burned

trees are scenery I can always appreciate as long as the bugs are not the kings and queens of the forest at the time.
