The largest Moreton Bay fig tree, ficus macrophylla, in the United States. Imported from Australia and originally planted in 1875, then transplanted in 1877 to where it is today. Another view.
This juvenile Blackbird is an introduced long-tailed black thrush, now a common resident in Australia's south-east and Tasmania.
Yesterday's posting is a Coffee Tree! Looking forward to working with it.
This fig tree is about 20ft tall and has hundreds of figs.
Another one taken at Observatory Hill. This place is just screaming to have pictures taken from it, so what can you do? Indeed take some more pictures :).
Hope you like it and I promise this is one of the last I will post taken from this place.
Enjoy!

Loreto's famous street trees; a canopy of fig trees over cobblestone. The trees are trimmed to form a canopy and it is very cool to walk or sit underneath. Houses and shops are lined up both sides. There are two tree streets on either side of Loreto town hall.

Close-up of Lion cub (Panthera leo nubica)sleeping peacefully on a fallen fig tree was taken by Elliott Neep in Kenya’s Masai Mara. To think this innocent looking little critter will one day develop into the most powerful and formidable predator on the continent…

The fig tree is producing fruit, but sadly this one hit the dust, or more correctly the garden wall.
It was covered in ants and flies when I first saw it, just managed to catch one fly and an ant.
Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites. :O)

Just like many other Christian brothers and sisters, I eagerly long for the second coming of the Lord Jesus . We abide by the following passage from the Bible: “Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord” (1 Thessalonians 4:17). For this reason, we foolishly look up to the skies longing for the day that Jesus will return and take us up into the clouds so that we can be with the Lord. However, after so many years have passed, the four blood moons have already appeared; earthquakes, famines, plagues and war and all sorts of other disasters are becoming more and more intense. The prophecies of the Lord’s second coming have basically been fulfilled. However, we still have not seen one Christian raptured into heaven. I cannot help but think, “Why does the Lord not come to receive us? The Lord is trustworthy. The Lord promised that He would take us into the heavenly kingdom in the last days. The Lord’s promise certainly will be accomplished and fulfilled. I do not doubt this at all. Yet, how come up until now, we still have not been raptured by the Lord into heaven? Could it be that there are some problems with our longing?”

At this point in time (1878) the British colony of Natal and the Zulu Kingdom are at peace. With a large, well trained and highly motivated Zulu army on the border, and desiring to impose his confederation policy on the whole of the country, the High Commissioner of South Africa, Sir Bartle Frere, sent the Zulu king Cetshwayo an invitation.
The invitation was for the Zulu king to send envoys to meet with the British under a wild fig tree on the Lower Thukela Drift, Natal Province, on 11th December 1878. The British position was less than subtle - awaiting the Zulu representatives were sailors from HMS Active with 7 pounders and a Gatling gun, as well as British regulars. The British intended to intimidate the Zulus.
Present at this historic meeting was John Wesley Shepstone - Frere's representative - who read to the Zulus a British ultimatum.
The terms of the ultimatum were that the Zulu king hand over some of his subjects who had recently trespassed on British land, disband his armies and accept a British deputy to negotiate between himself and the British.
Unsurprisingly, given that Cetshwayo depended on his army for his kingship, he refused to respond to the terms of the ultimatum and this gave the British the excuse they needed to declare war.

This venerable old solitary fig tree is located in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area just a few miles from the boundary of Serengeti National Park. It was visited back in the 60s by the celebrated American author Peter Matthiessen, he wrote a book describing his East African adventures, called "The Tree Where Man was Born" a reference to an origin myth told by the Nuer people of South Sudan, this name was then given to this fig tree. It is a rather apt name, as not too far to the south is Olduvai Gorge, where fossils of some of the earliest human ancestors have been found.
