The gnarled limbs of this ancient oak covered in Spanish moss, mesmerizing beautiful and a joy forever.

Old year you must not die;

You came to us so readily,

You lived with us so steadily,

Old year you shall not die.

Goodbye old year.

Three Oaks

“The trees encountered on a country stroll

Reveal a lot about that country’s soul...

A culture is no better than its woods."

W.H. Auden

A man in debt had made a deal with the devil. He got money from him in exchange for his soul. This one the devil would come for as soon as all the leaves had fallen from the trees. The man begged for help and the Holy Mary, out of pity, promised that the oak would keep its leaves. In autumn the leaves fell from the trees, but indeed, not at the oak. The devil was furious and clawed his long nails through the leaves of the oak. Since then, the oak leaf has been lobed.

These leaves have fallen, but luckily there are oak leaves on the tree

is the term used to describe when trees absorb or wrap around foreign objects like fences and rocks

I took the photograph of this giant and beautiful oak tree in Seeon, Bavaria near by the Monastery Seeon.

I have again researched for Steffi why this oak is called Mozart Oak ... and found the following in Wikipedia:

Until secularization, the Benedictine monastery of Seeon was also a place of scholarship and culture: Haydn was a guest and Mozart worked here between 1767 and 1769. Mozart wrote for the Kloster Seeon two offertories: Scande coeli limina (KV 34, 1769) and Internatos Mulierum (KV 72, 1771). The so-called Mozarteiche, under which he was supposed to have enjoyed the tradition, continues to grow on Lake See.

Ich habe das Foto dieser gigantischen und wunderschöne Eiche in Seeon, Bayern direkt in der Nähe von Kloster Seeon aufgenommen.

Ich habe für Steffi noch einmal recherchiert, warum diese Eiche Mozarteiche heißt...und folgendes in Wikipedia gefunden:

Bis zur Säkularisation war das Benediktinerkloster Seeon auch ein Ort der Gelehrsamkeit und der Kultur: Haydn war zu Gast und Mozart wirkte hier zwischen 1767 und 1769. Noch 1771 wurden von ihm Offertorien aufgeführt. Mozart schrieb speziell für das Kloster Seeon zwei Offertorien: Scande coeli limina (KV 34; 1769) und Internatos Mulierum (KV 72; 1771). Die sog. Mozarteiche, unter der er der Überlieferung nach gerne gesessen haben soll, wächst bis heute am Seeoner See.

There are some 600 species of oaks worldwide. This one is just one example that are native to California, of which there are 20 species. The arrival of the Spanish and further settlement of California has introduced many other foreign species of oaks which you may run into around the San Francisco Bay Area.

Some trees managed to survive the fire even though everything burned around them.

Live oaks, yellow wildflowers and a blue sky announce another marvelous spring day.

Thanks for your visit and comments I appreciate that very much

This shot was taken when I was out strolling around in the nearby nature reserve of "Norra Järvafältet". I was looking for a single tree located in a grassy field so I could take a "frosty, foggy" shot later this year. I didn´t found exactly what I was looking for but I found this tree and decided I should try to find some good compositions. The tree's branches form a bit of a "mushroom hat" and are fairly symmetric. I will go back in the autumn and see how the scene changes and what colors that bring. This image is processed to be on the warm side, with saturated colors and "golden" glow to it.

This shot was taken with my Nikon D7200 and Sigma 24-105mm f4.0 art lens.

This is National Tree Week here in Ireland {5th of March onwards} where we celebrate

our trees. We havent got many but thankfully since 2000 they have started planting more of our native hardwood species and less of those horrid Norway Spruce that block out light from the forest floor and prevent all the wonderful undergrowth, fungii and wild flowers from growing. Of course they are a commercial crop and vital for the economy. Indeed, Coilte, the forestry people here do great work as they allow access through there land and plantations to access the trails and mountain tracks which I love so much.

I dont think theres is anything more wonderful than Oak trees.

This tree which is an Irish Oak [Quercus Petraea] is reckoned to be over 400 years old and is growing in the Powerscourt Valley, near the waterfall here in Co. Wicklow. The ground and the humidity seems to suit them better than the more common English Oak [Quercus Robur] which are also magnificent trees.

I would really love to see more of your tree photos here on Flickr as the truly are such beautiful things.

Do hope you like it! Catch up with you later,

The mighty oak in autumn stands

It’s limbs outstretched with arms like hands

Too soon the leaves will shrink and wither

And the oak will sleep till winter is over - CP

I saw this magnificent sunset,

"Through the Oaks" while walking through the neighborhood one evening.

This image came out a lot better than I expected.

Hope Y'all like it. Lol: Gasssman.

It has been a hot, dry and windy summer, some leaves have fallen and the acorns are not fully developed but are falling!

500-year-old Southern Live Oak, Quercus virginiana, in Airlie Gardens, Wilmington NC. The largest of its kind in North Carolina. Just a tourist shot, really, but it is an amazing tree.
