Mistletoe (Viscum album) on an apple tree in the walled garden at Baddesley Clinton National Trust
16 February 2018, Baddesley Clinton, Warwickshire
This shot was massively over-exposed so i converted to b&w and added some black.
Seven mistletoes growing on Silver Birch. With seven crows.
PETER:
I'm so glad you are here my dearest Princess Rosie.
You look so beautiful in your pink coat. I never thought we would be together under the mistletoe.
ROSIE:
I'm so glad the fairies sent me to you.
This is the best Christmas present ever. I will forever be your princess Rosie.

PETER:
I think we should go back to Oleg, Scout and Paddy now or they will miss us. Come my dear princess, take my paw and then we will go back to them. But I'll give you a gentle bear kiss first. Let's never forget this moment.
(Peter gives Rosie a soft bear kiss)
ROSIE: (gives Peter soft bear kiss)
I will never ever forget this moment my dear Prince Peter
Peanut, one of our little Christmas Elves, stopped to wonder...
Hard to believe something so lovely is considered a parasite to the tree! So why the custom of kissing under it? hehehehe so odd. Anyway, it also has medicinal purposes! Lots of interesting little facts on this wiki link... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mistletoe
Since nothing livens up a holiday get together like a little strategically placed mistletoe, I thought this would be an interesting choice for this week's Macro Monday "It's Alive" theme. What do you think?
I know....I know, I hear you moan....Spring is around the corner and here comes Osi, posting yet MORE pictures of snowy landscapes! But...the sim is beautiful! So here we go :-)
Meeting with Chania Leuce, the owner and creator of the sim(s) (it's more than 1 sim actually)

This photograph of tree with mistletoe growing on it was taken at Saint Michel L'Observatoire in Alpes de Haute Provence, France. The same tree formed the basis for a more abstract image that featured in Explore (flic.kr/p/2o8FrpV)
This parasitic plant, spread particularly by the mistle thrush, seems very abundant in this area of Suffolk. The birds eat the berries and wipe the sticky seeds onto fresh bark. Once established it is difficult to remove and often boughs of trees have to be cut off to remove its root system. The plant gets most of its sustenance from the sap of the host tree. It is an ancient symbol of male fertility, involved in many customs, even today at Christmas time. The plant is poisonous.

Have you ever hugged a Narwal? I have!
Mistletoes are a pagan symbol of life. In Normandy, it was a symbol of eternal life in Christian times. Forgotten nowadays. My neighbour calls them "big green balls" and wants me to cut them down. O tempora, o mores! The birds love the fruits. So who will win? The culture and the birds or the neighbour?
