Incredibly, this is one of many ancient trees in the grounds of Croft Castle (NT). Try as I may, I didn't take a photograph to really do any of them justice - I will just have to go back.

These apples are still on the tree. We spent Saturday driving backroads to the orchards in Gay Mills. We had to alter our normal route do to a washed out gravel road with a tree across it. The orchards are up on the ridge top, so are free from flood damage. I'm not sure how it affected this year's crops, though.

One of the first elements you come across from the parking lot is this tree next to a (now frozen) pond. The sun was setting so I set it up as a silhouette. Not much activity in the park since snow fall as the smoothe snow would attest to.
I instantly fell in love with this tree...the minute I laid eyes on it, I knew there was art in there...I had to do something more with it than just show it's beauty, as in the picture below!
I mirrored it and then joined it to create this fairytale image...
I have many more to come and I have been thinking of putting them in a slide show (if I can find the time), like last time so that I don't bore you with a thousand photos of trees...artistic though this tree is!
I hope you can appreciate this tree as much as I do!
Happy Wednesday everyone!
With love
Nat :)

A tree across the road from my gran's house, i was visiting her the other day like a good grandson:P and when i was getting in to my car i saw this beautiful wrecked shape of a tree in a field. I went back tonight and spent about 3 hours here.
There are few iconic images that beat the quiver tree or kokerboom, Aloe dichotoma, its stylised shape giving it a prehistoric appearance, especially when etched against the deep colours of a Namibian sunset.
Situated on the farm Gariganus, 23 kilometres north-east of Keetmanshoop, the Quiver Tree Forest is a worthwhile detour, especially for keen photographers. Here several hundred of these curious trees can be seen growing as a dense stand amongst the rocky outcrops that are so characteristic of the southern parts of Namibia. The stand was declared a national monument and fenced for tourist viewing some fifty years ago.
Reaching heights of up to seven metres, the quiver tree is one of four Namibian aloes that are classified as trees. One of these, the bastard quiver tree, Aloe pillansii, is sometimes confused with the kokerboom, the difference being that A. pillansii has a taller trunk with fewer, more erect branches and a sparse crown, and has a much more limited distribution, being confined to the areas just north and south of the Orange River. The quiver tree, on the other hand, grows fairly commonly along Namibia’s western escarpment from the Orange River northwards into Kaokoland.
In June and July quiver trees are covered in bright yellow flowers, attracting large numbers of birds and insects to their copious nectar. Baboons tear the flowers apart to get at the sweet substance, often stripping a tree of its blossoms soon after they have appeared. One of the quiver tree’s most attractive features is its bark, which is smooth, often with a pearly grey or golden sheen, sometimes flaking and cracked into diamond shapes, frequently folding like melting wax.
The Governor of the Cape of Good Hope, Simon van der Stel, recorded this fascinating and distinctive tree in 1685 where it grew in the northern Cape. He noticed that Bushmen fashioned quivers for their arrows from the soft branches, and it was this custom that gave rise to the tree’s common name.

Will you descend and greedily drink?
The waters that flow all around
What treasures below will be found
When you descend and do drink
The waters as you slowly sink

It's taken me awhile to find my card reader and get everything gathered together again. When two ceilings started leaking in my mother's house early on during Hurricane Irma's wrath, I quickly gathered what valuables I could to try to protect them from wind and rain, not knowing what to expect since the worse was yet to come.
Both my house and Mom's sustained damage from Hurricane Irma. When the storm finally cleared and I saw the two trees in my backyard had snapped off in the powerful wind, I counted my blessings: neither directly hit the house.
I worried about all my squirrel friends, but I seem to have as many post-Irma as before. Sadly, there are noticeably fewer birds.
