Live Oak Society (LOS) This oak is also the National Champion on the National Register of Big Trees.
The Society was founded in 1934 by Dr. Edwin Lewis Stephens, the first president of Southwestern Louisiana Institute (now the University of Louisiana in Lafayette). The Society promotes the culture, distribution, preservation and appreciation of the live oak tree, scientifically known as Quercus Virginiana.

"A-ah!" - it what I said when I saw this gorgeous big tree in a private property near Lismore, NSW, Australia.
I had to sneak to the property to take just one shot, what is not very good, so I had to tweak it a bit in the photoshop.
Having to say we came there a year ago for a funeral, I thought about this tree: "what a celebration of life!"

I've said before and I'll say it again I really do love trees. This little tree in the Japanese garden at Lithia Park in Ashland was really cool. Kind of a large Bonsai. The trunk was about 3 to 4 feet tall and of course the yellow from the seasonal change was magnificent.
There is unrest in the forest
There is trouble with the trees
For the maples want more sunlight
And the oaks ignore their pleas
The trouble with the maples
(and theyre quite convinced theyre right)
They say the oaks are just too lofty
And they grab up all the light
But the oaks cant help their feelings
If they like the way theyre made
And they wonder why the maples
Cant be happy in their shade?
There is trouble in the forest
And the creatures all have fled
As the maples scream `oppression!`
And the oaks, just shake their heads
So the maples formed a union
And demanded equal rights
the oaks are just too greedy
We will make them give us light
Now theres no more oak oppression
For they passed a noble law
And the trees are all kept equal
By hatchet,
Axe,
And saw ...
"The trees" by Rush, one of my all time faves.
Under the ginkgo trees near Meiji Shrine. For several years I have been trying to capture the color at its peak but have always been too early. On this last visit, we went back 3 times from early to mid November and it still wasn't quite ready. So rather than focus on the color, I tried to document some of the people who were there for the same reason.

Later in the evening. The sun has set further, revealing more stars, but also revealing more light pollution from cities west of Joshua Tree.
Landing on the nest. She's quite vocal, demanding even! When the male came in with a large trout (see previous uploads) she flew to the nest and reminded him noisily that she expected a good share of the catch. She's territorial and hangs about either on the nest conifer tree or the dead tree next to it.
