Winter sun alongside Māwaihākona Stream, Upper Hutt, New Zealand. Almost nothing is left of the Podocarp forest that once carpeted this valley floor from hillside to the other hillside. The trees were cleared by the early settlers in the 1840s and 1850s. However the Friends of Māwaihākona restoration group have since 2011 planted 3.2 hectares with 11,500 young trees (seen on both sides of the stream) that in time will return this section of the valley to its former glory.
The title refers to the fallen tree and one of it's branches that has become a new tree. The abandoned building was useful for the composition.

This is from a local swampy area that had a flood event a few years back, killing everything including a large stand of towering Tamarack trees. Last year at this time, there were only dead trees and knee high grasses... a wide open area of about a square km... when I returned there recently, many parts were impassible with 2 metre high winterberry holly plants so thick and an explosion of growth of various trees and grasses. In just one year, it was unrecognisable... and so strange and beautiful!

This strange looking fish is a master ant camouflage. Within a few weeks it can completely change its color to match its surroundings. The frogfish’s illicium rod (front most dorsal fin spine) is topped with worm-like lure appendages that can regenerate if lost. It sits very still and twitches its ‘rod and lure’ to attract prey, and then quickly gulps them up. It can swallow something almost twice its own size. (FloridaMuseum) Anilao, Philippines

Dead old Sudajii tree on the slope of Oyama volcano.
As I climbed the road toward Oyama volcano, I saw more and more dead trees. They were killed by the 2000 eruption combined with the emission of sulfur dioxide that continued after the eruption. They are now being replaced by new vegetation.
We are seeing a new process of ecological succession, in which Sudajii was, and will be, the climax vegetation in the forests of Miyake-jima.

On the summit of Mt Hay, in the Blue Mountains, the gum trees are regenerating after the Grose Valley swept up and over the mountain. Last shot of the morning, as we descended back down from the summit.

As you continue to send out love, the energy returns to you in a regenerating spiral... As love accumulates, it keeps your system in balance and harmony. Love is the tool, and more love is the end product.

Some regeneration in Busthinia country, Barcaldine region, Queensland, Australia - following a large bushfire in November 2012, which burnt out 50,000 hectares. The owner told me he has sent his cattle on adjistment and it will take at least 6 months for Busthinia country to recover sufficiently for him to bring back his cattle (that might also rely on some good rain).

Harden moor was an area of heathland, quarried and grazed. It's now 'common land' and as such is left to its own destiny, which has seen Birch Woodlands develop and also Oaks colonising the open areas. It makes for interesting landscapes but needs some conservation to ensure a future safe from too much human influence.

A couple of years ago this tree was pretty much dead, but a recent picture of this old sweet chestnut tree shows it's beginning a re-growth of it's leaves. it's amazing how nature makes a comeback and recovers from the cycle of life.

The Settle to Carlisle Railway was reopened on 31st March after 14 months closure due to major reconstruction following the landslip near Armathwaite. The occasion was marked by a special train running over the line hauled by the restored Flying Scotsman. Here, the return train is passing Waitby.
A strong El Niño in 2015, caused an increase in ocean temperatures across the globe, resulting in the loss of over 60% of the corals in the Maldives to bleaching. However, parts of the reef at Kandolhu showed encouraging signs of regeneration with some beautiful corals.

The morning was so windy I spent a lot of time looking overhead to see if limbs were falling. Really thought it was just a day for walking but managed to get this long shot.

After some serious haircutting these trees have started sprouting some new growth and this row of trees stand guard over a new row of electric charging points for cars . About ten or twelve parking spots in this car park are now given over to these recharging points and just like the Bookham car park , I have not seen a car plugged in yet !
