Yes, this is just a picture of a tree in a park.
But if you know me, and if you've been to this park you know it means so much more.

This is the largest Japanese umbrella pine tree known in the world at ~ 2 m in diamater growing in Shizuoka Prefecture. The age of the tree is unknown but considering the growth rate of the tree it is probably over 900 years. The tree was damaged by lightning about 10 years ago so a lightning pole to attract lightning away from the tree has been constructed nearby. Only half of the trees is still alive but at least that half looks very healthy.
May 12, 2011; Middletown, Connecticut. This flower was found on a huge London Plane tree on the bank of the Coginchaug River. Help with this tree ID was provided by Carol D. Quish at UConn Home and Garden Education Center who writes; "The red hanging globular cluster is the flower of the plant; it is a cluster of tiny flowers waiting to be pollinated, then develop into seed and pod."
In a classic case of not seeing the forest for the trees, I photographed the image here and the one above on a low hanging branch not once looking up at the tree they were a part of. I revisited the site today (May 13) and found a truly gigantic tree on the river bank halfway in the flowing river.I estimate the tree to be 60-70 feet in height with a circumference (this is just a guess) of around 4-5 feet. Incidentally the red globular objects are the size of small raspberries.
The London Plane tree (Platanus x hispanica (syn. x acerifolia) is a very common urban tree that is extensively planted in city parks, gardens and avenues. Although it is called the London Plane this tree is not native to England. In fact it is not native to anywhere as it is a hybrid of two trees from opposite sides of the globe. Its parent trees are the American Sycamore and the Oriental Plane. The hybrid was most likely a natural result of the two parent trees being planted close to each other in Spain (thus x hispanica). It has been very widely planted in England since the late 1600´s.

The 62-metre-high Big Tree in the Dip River Forest Reserve may not have been the highest of its species, but it was sufficiently high to make photography difficult.

The Senator is the largest Baldcypress tree in the United States. It is 35 m (115 ft) tall, with a trunk diameter of 344 cm, and an estimated stem volume of 119.4 m3 [1]. It is located in Big Tree Park, Longwood, Florida, and as of 1993, is estimated to be 3500 years old.
The Senator is one of the oldest Baldcypress trees in America. The Seminole Indians and other Native American Indians who lived throughout Central Florida used this tree as a landmark. A hurricane in 1925 destroyed the top of the tree, reducing its original height of 165 ft. to its present height.
In the late 1800s, the Senator attracted visitors even though much of the land around the tree was swamp and reaching the tree was done by leaping from log to log. A walkway was later constructed by the Works Progress Administration (WPA).
In 1929, former president Calvin Coolidge visited the Senator and dedicated the site with a commemorative bronze plaque. The plaque and portions of an iron fence were stolen by vandals in 1945 and never recovered.
Located 40 feet from the Senator is another old cypress named Lady Liberty. It is 89 feet high 10 feet in diameter, and is estimated to be 2000 years old.
In 1927, Senator M.O. Overstreet donated the tree and surrounding land for a park to Seminole County.
or at least it was until the top broke off.
