I am wanting to find pictures of specific trees (example Callery
Pear--Pyrus calleryana) in their winter habit i.e. no leaves.  First
choice would be a drawing or it can be an actual photograph of one.

Hi bluebird01,

I've been able to locate a wonderful photograph of the Pyrus
Calleryana without any leaves, but it has the blossoms.  If that will
suit your needs, please post a clarification and I'll be happy to
answer the question.

Thank you,

Hi bluebird01,

A drawing of a Pyrus calleryana without leaves can be seen at this
site:
http://www.hort.cornell.edu/department/faculty/bassuk/uhi/pear.html 

And a picture of a Pyrus calleryana ‘Cleveland Select’ without leaves
here:
http://www.selecttrees.com/pages/cleveland_5_5_in.html 

(Many thanks to bobbie7 for providing sites where a drawing and
picture could be seen without leaves!)

And a bit more information regarding the tree can be found at: 
Pyrus calleryana 'Chanticleer'
http://www.natorp.com/Pyrus'Chanticleer''ClevelandSelect'.htm

"Pyrus calleryana 'Chanticleer', 'Cleveland Select', 'Select' and
'Stone Hill' are all the same tree. So many names for a beautiful
tree. The 'Chanticleer' Pear is a upright-pyramidal tree that is much
narrower than the ever popular 'Bradford' Pear. The 'Chanticleer'
flowers heavily in the spring. Its leaves are a glossy dark green that
turn reddish purple in the fall. This tree has wonderful landscape
value and is one of the best choices where lateral space to spread is
limited. 'Chanticleer' is less susceptible to early freezes than other
Pears. It will grow up to 35 feet high and 16 feet wide. The
'Chanticleer' Pear is very adaptable to many different soils and it
tolerates dryness and pollution. Plant in full sun. Prune in winter or
early spring."

I am interested in finding out HOW to search for this.  I need more
trees than this one.  Is that an inappropriate question?
I guess that I should have clarified that the reason I am asking for
help with this is because I have been unable to find the correct
keywords or whatever to search.

Hi bluebird,

You asked in your Clarification: "I am interested in finding out HOW
to search for this.  I need more trees than this one.  Is that an
inappropriate question?
I guess that I should have clarified that the reason I am asking for
help with this is because I have been unable to find the correct
keywords or whatever to search."

---------------------

At the bottom of my answer I posted:

 "Google search: Pyrus calleryana, pear tree, winter picture Pyrus
calleryana"

So, the way you will do your searches is by typing in the keywords
(names) of the trees you are seeking to find.  Drawings and
photographs will have to be searched out on each site you go to.  I
was able to locate the pictures by going to each site individually and
looking at the page.

You will probably have to try different combinations of keywords for
every tree.  You can use upper and lower case or all lower case.

Use a combination of the actual name of the tree - botanical and
general term (for ex., Pear tree, Callera Pear, Pyrus Calleryana) and
then the keywords:

picture, photograph, drawing, silhouette, winter, without leaves, no
leaves.

I hope this helps!
