If you've grown up on a farm or in the country I'm sure most of you have experienced the old tire swing in the tree, though I think they are seen in the city too. My husband and I were out driving last night and so I had to stop and take this shot, it reminded me of my youth, swinging on the tire trying not to get rope burn :-)
We had a beautiful drive along lake Ontario, at one point we stopped by the lake and I was able to watch a family of geese with their young and capture some images...they were beautiful to watch. I've posted a new blog with some of their images, check it out if you'd like.
It is cold and the recently fallen snow covers the ground. It creaks under my feet as I walk along the path down to the frozen lake. The air is fresh and water vapor is formed when I breathe. I've been waiting for this moment. That the surroundings should be white with hoarfrost and not so gray and lifeless. Finally the snow and the cold are here and I am determined to catch it.

High-fiving a snapped-off tree trunk.
'Gimme five' is "a request to give the speaker a "high five," that is, to slap their (usually) raised hand with one's own, as in a show of congratulation or celebration. "Five" refers to the hand's five fingers. "Gimme" is a colloquial form of "give me."

Earlier in the year I visited the small hamlet of Mistley, the site of a number of aged oak trees including this one, aptly named 'Old Knobbley'. Old Knobbley is an 800 year old Pendunculate Oak or English Oak (Quercus robur) with a trunk girth of 9.6m at a height of 0.3m, widening vastly as it rises.
It is a gigantic tree with a huge trunk, full of burrs and knots, although not particularly tall. It has survived an attempt to burn it down a few years ago and who knows what else it may have witnessed in the last 800 years or so.
I shall not give any further information about this marvel as it is the only tree in the UK, to my knowledge, to have its own website, book and facebook page.

and my images from this beautiful arboretum:
A macro view of the peeling bark of an arbutus tree (aka Pacific Madrone ) along a walking trail near Mackenzie Bight, Gowlland Tod Provincial Park, Vancouver Island, BC.
Arbutus is the only native broadleaf evergreen tree in Canada with rich orange-red bark that when mature naturally peels away in thin sheets, leaving a greenish, silvery appearance that has a satin sheen and smoothness. Arbutus bark is very rich in a substance used for tanning hides.
First Nations people have used Arbutus bark and leaves for medicinal purposes such as use for colds, stomach problems and tuberculosis.
Arbutus trees are generally found on sunny exposed rocky bluffs or hills with little moisture, often in coastal areas in proximity to the ocean. It is native to the Pacific Northwest and Northern and Central California regions.
