The Wild Service Tree is a relatively rare tree that grows across Europe. Its also known as the Cheques Tree, possibly because of the chequered pattern of its flakey bark, and its small round fruits are also known as chequers. Apparently chequers taste a bit like dates but they're hard work to collect and not so easy to eat. However, before the introduction of hops in the 15th century, chequers were used to flavour beer, which gives rise to the number of pubs called 'The Chequers' (although many pubs have forgotten this and display pub signs showing chequered flags and jousting motifs).

This big leaf maple towered over my son Cole. It is the
largest tree of its kind that I have ever viewed!

Goldiger Herbst 2017 im Pizol, Schweiz
Ich vermisse jetzt schon das flache Licht und die wundervollen Herbstfarben. Dafür werden wir jetzt mit viel Schnee und Nebel verwöhnt.

The Frazinus Quadrangulata is known as the Blue Ash Tree. Its native range is in North America from Michigan south to Arkansas and Tennessee. The height is about 50 to 75 feet once fully grown and can spread from 35 to 60 feet wide. It blooms between April to May and is usually a purple accent color. It needs very little maintenance and is tolerance of deer and droughts. It grows easily in dry to medium wet, well-drained soils. This is considered to be one of the best ashes for dry sites. The wood of blue ash is commonly used to products including tool handles and furniture. One major problem with this tree is the Emerald Ash Borer. The borer will kill an ash tree typically within 3 to 5 years after infestation. This pest is hard to kill off due to the fact that it feeds under the bark and bores into the wood.

The plan was simple and flawless. There was no way I could mess this up.
I'd decided that it was time to add a spot of colour to my photostream. I like to add some from time to time. I'd eyed up a few of the rapeseed fields over the past couple of weeks and with the mixed weather this weekend, thought I might get a good mix of light and cloud.
However things happen and I ended up getting to the field later than planned. I was taking a few shots more to try out for a future revisit when suddenly the sun broke through the clouds for one last hurrah before night followed. Brilliant I thought. Until I got home and started processing.
Now I might get around to working on a colour image but for some reason I got part way along processing this and thought "this would look good in black and white". Which is how it's ended up being.
