The twisting and winding road to Hana, Maui, (Hawaii) is bordered by the most beautiful, lushly planted shores and pristine sandy beaches in the state. Here, an outrigger canoe takes a break from the late-afternoon surf.

I was fascinated by this - easily entertained I guess. :-)

This older man was slowly walking up the hill admiring the tree in his path. When he reached the tree he put his hands on the trunk and rested there for a while. This was taken in Lars Anderson park in Brookline, Massachusetts.

Best viewed LARGE to see the man more cleary.

I've noticed Mistletoe growing increasingly in UK trees, so I read up about it and learnt that it's due in part to an influx of continental blackcaps from Germany that have started overwintering in Britain, with many thousands now spending their winters here.

'Blackcaps are migratory warblers that are becoming regular winter visitors to our bird tables. Berries, including those of mistletoe, are an essential part of their diet. On eating the white flesh of the mistletoe berry, the birds wipe their bills on twigs and branches, leaving behind the seed. If the seed is deposited on a host tree and manages to take hold, a mistletoe plant might germinate on the branch. It seems that blackcaps are more efficient at spreading mistletoe seeds than other birds, such as the mistle thrush, which also feed on the berries.' - www.woodlandtrust.org.uk/blog/2018/12/where-does-mistleto....

'According to the Anglo-Saxons, kissing under the mistletoe was connected to the legend of Freya, Norse Goddess of love, beauty and fertility. According to legend, a man had to kiss any young girl who, without realizing it, found herself accidentally under a sprig of mistletoe hanging from the ceiling.' www.thewhitegoddess.co.uk/articles/mythology_folklore/mis....

Autumn is coming late and slow this year

I have.

Oh, by the way, that's not snow on the trees. It's frost created overnight.

I love trees. This special beauty was found on a hike near Lincoln City, Oregon

NOTE: It saddens me to not be on here much these days. I miss my Flickr friends =)

For those who might not yet know: my husband and I are caring for our 91-yr-old mom, so I am mostly using Flickr for a creative outlet and won't be able to do much commenting for a while.

Taken on our trip to the Virginia mountains.

Not sure about the title - just a track from my favourite Beach Boys album. The lower branches seemed to echo the line of the clouds. Taken in Gower, South Wales.

In case you were wondering... this is where I've been for the past month or so. Camp Pocahontas was home to the National Youth Science Camp.

NYSC is a phenomenal program... I was lucky to be staph. Here, I met some of the brightest minds, became super close friends with the funnest people, crossed off many firsts, and simply had an amazing summer.

I can't share many details, but if you know anyone who will be graduating from high school next year and has a mind for science and adventure, I urge you---tell them to give it a try. They won't regret it =)

PS--this is one of the very few artsy pictures I took, but I love it.

Straight out of the camera.

A symmetric cluster of trees in the fields of the beautiful area of Wakapatu in New Zealand.

Just caught the sun going down behind this tree throwing a great shadow towards me. I had to Manoeuvre around to get shade from the sun.

Fall Sunset Through the Trees is a photo from the "Devils Elbow" section of North Park, PA. While the sun was soon covered up by the clouds, I was able to grab this last shot of the day.

Trees at the northern end of Stanton Moor Plantation.

That tree again, this time on a cold evening just after the sun has set.
