For those of you that frequent John Heinz NWR, you know exactly the tree in this image. For those that don't, "the Egret Tree" is where numerous egrets and herons roost for the evening. I took this shot about 15 minutes before sunset and the light was a magnificent golden color that bathed everything it struck in warm golden tones. I only wish there were more egrets and herons in the tree ( I count 6 - 5 Great Egrets and 1 Great Blue Herons) at the time I snapped the image. Not sure if the leaves changed color on the Egret Tree or if they are brown (dead tree) and the light gave them a golden glow.

It's Wednesday and the week half through! Enjoy the rest of the evening.

When the wind blows

Did you see the cow?

We have had some really strong gusts and high winds of late. This branch has been turned into logs for the fire by now but, it was still a shame to see it laying there in the fog. No damage to the house and that is the thing I was most worried about.

Thank you for all your comments and faves, they are very much appreciated. :)

I absolutely love trees. The simple fact that they live longer than humans (if they are let) and they are way more complex than we generally give them credit for. Scientists have discovered that trees communicate with each other through a gigantic network of microscopic fungi (called mycelial network) that enables them to exchange information with each other such as warnings, storing memories and responding to attacks. Also the trees and the fungi form a symbiotic relationship where they exchange resources such as organic matter and minerals. I think that is amazing and while I always loved trees, this understanding enhances my respect and admiration for them.

The tree is more than a seed, then a stem, then a living trunk, and then dead timber. The tree is a slow, enduring force straining to win the sky.

This tree was planted right next to the parking lot, and I like the form. With the help of my flickr friends, the tentative ID is a sycamore tree. Any ID confirmation of correction would be appreciated.

Eglinton Park

This Neem tree (Botanical name Azadirachta indica) died many years ago but still standing high.

They tried to burn it down but it didn’t catch fire 🤔! So, they decided to leave it. (There’s an old myth going around here, that some of the trees by the river are night homes for demons).

The lone tree will survive the winter winds. See you in the spring. From out hiking.
