My daily walk for exercise Passes this tree I love the way it leans I’ve had a go at editing into black and white in LR opinions would be appreciated thanks
I have passed by this tree many, many times over the past twenty or so years. It hasn't changed much. But I can't resist taking a shot of it every time I go past. There are several pics of it on my stream but one more can't hurt, right?
I've noticed Mistletoe growing increasingly in UK trees, so I read up about it and learnt that it's due in part to an influx of continental blackcaps from Germany that have started overwintering in Britain, with many thousands now spending their winters here.
'Blackcaps are migratory warblers that are becoming regular winter visitors to our bird tables. Berries, including those of mistletoe, are an essential part of their diet. On eating the white flesh of the mistletoe berry, the birds wipe their bills on twigs and branches, leaving behind the seed. If the seed is deposited on a host tree and manages to take hold, a mistletoe plant might germinate on the branch. It seems that blackcaps are more efficient at spreading mistletoe seeds than other birds, such as the mistle thrush, which also feed on the berries.' - www.woodlandtrust.org.uk/blog/2018/12/where-does-mistleto....
'According to the Anglo-Saxons, kissing under the mistletoe was connected to the legend of Freya, Norse Goddess of love, beauty and fertility. According to legend, a man had to kiss any young girl who, without realizing it, found herself accidentally under a sprig of mistletoe hanging from the ceiling.' www.thewhitegoddess.co.uk/articles/mythology_folklore/mis....
Mike Oldfield ~ Incantations Part Four
large trees in the park are given a coat of white at the base, which blends with the tree's secretions and takes on different hues.
A lone tree in a field made for a nice subject at sunrise.
There was also some light mist in the background to add to the scene.
These trees were silhouetted by a golden sunrise at Sandhill Crane Access Park in western Palm Beach County, Florida.
Just walkin' through the forest and who did I see standin' on a fallen tree alookin' at me? A She-goat! Love her eyes.
Taken yesterday in Macclesfield Forest. As we got to higher ground, the recent storm damage became obvious, alongside some planting that the rangers have done. It was a bright day, but for a while the sky became darker and quite dramatic --- luckily it didn't rain!
This tree was previously damaged. In fact a lot of our trees are in bad shape due to insects or possibly disease. We're expecting a wild storm with very heavy rain and winds 50-70 mph. Hope that doesn't happen. My thoughts are with those in states that had tornado damage and loss of life.

I was there for dinner at a nearby restaurant. I was fortunate to have with me my gear. I noticed the tree while passing by and marked it in my mind as a good candidate for for a nice capture.

“I Dream of Being a Tree is composed of twenty woven and printed panels. The work illustrates my relationships with trees and with dear friends, whom I asked to write short texts, or sometimes poems … I made a dream some true by portraying these relationships between these people and these trees in a monumental work. I Dream of Being a Tree is my hymn to life.”
