I didn't realize the impact this picket fence would have until I saw it on the big screen. My eye is drawn to the top of the fence's arch then back to the glassless window. I wonder what dreams where left behind that picket fence?
Happy Fence Friday and keep those dreams alive!

A lone tree in Blackall's Park. I walked around it taking photos of the tree, being careful to maintain the exact same distance and orientation. 22 images combined in PhotoShop.
The infamous maple tree in the Portland Japanese Garden.
If you are looking for a large tree like I was you will need to look a little smaller. This tree is about waist to shoulder high. You have to get on your knees and shoot through a gap in the branches to get this shot. I walked all over the garden looking for this larger than life tree only to ask someone where this infamous tree was. The gentleman pretty much pointed 10 feet away at a tree no bigger than a bush and said..."it is that one". WOW Really?
But once you get underneath and see the tree it is truly beautiful.
I drove from Cannon Beach (Previous Post) to Portland and to the Garden. After the 2 hour drive I was happy to get out and walk around. It was here that I ran into someone who told me where to go to get the Marquam Bridge shot that I have seen posted. That story will come tomorrow and well worth the read if you want to ever get that shot.
Like previous stated this tree is not as big as it appears but it is as beautiful with the fall color change. I think this tree is the prize of the Garden and well worth going to shoot just for this shot.
Thanks for looking and commenting.

Metasequoia (dawn redwood)-one of my fafourite trees. Dawn Redwoods remind me of numerous hands stretched in vehement prayer asking for impossible.
Tyntesfield is a Victorian Gothic Revival house and estate near Wraxall, North Somerset, England. The house is a Grade I listed building named after the Tynte baronets, who had owned estates in the area since about 1500. The location was formerly that of a 16th-century hunting lodge, which was used as a farmhouse until the early 19th century. In the 1830s a Georgian mansion was built on the site, which was bought by English businessman William Gibbs, whose huge fortune came from guano used as fertilizer. In the 1860s Gibbs had the house significantly expanded and remodelled; a chapel was added in the 1870s. The Gibbs family owned the house until the death of Richard Gibbs in 2001.
Tyntesfield was purchased by the National Trust in June 2002, after a fundraising campaign to prevent it being sold to private interests and ensure it would be open to the public. The house was opened to visitors for the first time just 10 weeks after the acquisition, and as more rooms are restored they are added to the tour.
The mansion was visited by 189,329 people in 2012, a fall of 8.5 per cent on the previous year

ADANSONIA GREGORII, commonly known as BOAB, is a tree in the family Malvaceae. As with other baobabs, it is easily recognised by the swollen base of its trunk, which gives the tree a bottle-like appearance. Endemic to Australia, boab occurs in the Kimberley region of Western Australia, and east into the Northern Territory. It is the only baobab to occur in Australia, the others being native to Madagascar (six species) and mainland Africa and the Arabian Peninsula (one species).
Boab is a medium sized tree ranging in height from 5 to 15 meters, usually between 9 and 12 metres, with a broad bottle-shaped trunk.[1] Its trunk base may be extremely large; trunks with a diameter of over five metres have been recorded. Boab is deciduous, losing its leaves during the dry winter period and producing new leaves and large white flowers between December and May
The common name "boab" is a shortened form of the generic common name "baobab". Although boab is the most widely recognised common name, Adansonia gregorii has a number of other common names, including:
* baobab — this is the common name for the genus as a whole, but it is often used in Australia to refer to the Australian species;
* Australian baobab
* bottle tree
* dead rat tree
* gouty stem tree
* cream of tartar tree
* gourd-gourd tree
* sour gourd
* gadawon — one of the names used by the local Indigenous Australians. Other names include larrgadi or larrgadiy, which is widespread in the Nyulnyulan languages of the Western Kimberley.
The specific name "gregorii" honours the Australian explorer Augustus Gregory.
The plant has a wide variety of uses, most parts are edible and is the sources of a number of materials. Its medicinal products and the ability to store water through dry seasons has also been exploited.
Indigenous Australians obtained water from hollows in the tree, and used the white powder that fills the seed pods as a food. Decorative paintings or carvings were sometimes made on the other surface of the fruits. The leaves were used medicinally.
A large hollow boab just south of Derby, Western Australia is reputed to have been used in the 1890s as a lockup for Aboriginal prisoners on their way to Derby for sentencing. The Boab Prison Tree still stands, and is now a tourist attraction. This particular specimen is the oldest of its' species in the world./

Il baobab australiano (Adansonia gregorii F. Muell.), noto anche come ALBERO BOTTIGLIA o BOAB, è un albero appartenente alla famiglia delle Bombacaceae (Malvaceae secondo la classificazione APG), tipico dell'Australia nordorientale.
È l'unica specie australiana del genere Adansonia (le altre sono tutte originarie dell'Africa o del Madagascar).
L'epiteto specifico gregorii è stato dato in onore all'esploratore australiano Augustus Gregory.
Si tratta di un albero di dimensioni medie, con un'altezza di circa 9-12 m. Il tronco è corto e molto largo: può raggiungere in casi eccezionali i 5 m di diametro. Questo può contenere molta acqua, da qui il nome comune di ALBERO BOTTIGLIA; la corteccia è marrone-grigiastra e liscia
L'albero è spogliante e perde le foglie durante la stagione secca; all'arrivo delle piogge produce nuove foglie, disposte in modo alterno e divise fino a 7 foglioline di forma obovata. I fiori sono grandi, con petali bianco-crema oblunghi o spatolati; i frutti sono simili a capsule scure, contenenti semi simili a fagioli.
Gli aborigeni australiani si procuravano l'acqua da buchi scavati nel tronco; la polvere che riempie i baccelli che contengono i semi veniva usata come cibo. Talvolta incisioni o figure decorative sono state ritrovate sulla superficie dei frutti. Le foglie venivano usate come medicinale.

Taken from NE Kansas. The backside of the major thunderstorm was centered over Lincoln, Nebraska on the date listed. It was probably 130 miles distant.
This tree has somehow survived having the centre of its trunk burnt out completely into an arch shape which is big enough to crawl through.
Hope to return in a few months to see it with foliage.

This beautiful tree was in the midst of the bush in the Kasigau Corridor REDD+ project area standing all by itself. We literally spent about an hour walking around the tree and photographing it.
Believe it or not trees are as precious in the project area as the wildlife. Rangers seek to stop people from slash and burn farming and others from simply cutting down the trees for charcoal. Instead citizens are offered new alternatives, including new job opportunities, education, and alternative methods of creating charcoal. Audi supports the Wildlife Works initiative to protect the environment as part of its A3 e-tron carbon offset program.
Daisy Trees are only found in Southeast Missouri, in the geological section known as the Benton Hills, Native Americans used the blooms of this tree for decorations. Upon arrival the French quickly discovered how to convert the blooms into a semisweet yellow wine which was called Dasionette. This method of wine making was lost during the civil war.
