Celebrating tree growth and tree Tuesdays everyday! A joy for me to see. (I wandered around this year to view, but without a camera.)
"The Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) is an evergreen conifer species in the pine family, Pinaceae. It is native to western North America and is also known as Douglas-fir, Douglas spruce, Oregon pine, and Columbian pine. There are three varieties: coast Douglas-fir (P. menziesii var. menziesii), Rocky Mountain Douglas-fir (P. menziesii var. glauca) and Mexican Douglas-fir (P. menziesii var. lindleyana)."

Hope everyone is doing well. Thanks for all the very kind comments and faves; they're very much appreciated :)
This species primarily is found in bushy pastures, second growth, gardens, and forest edges. Taxonomy based on molecular systematics has recovered Fawn-breasted Tanager as sister to Blue-and-yellow Tanager (P. bonariensis), which was previously placed in the genus Thraupis. ommon and widespread over almost all of its extensive range. Has profited from deforestation, settlement and other human activities. In some areas is regarded as a pest (and is killed in response), because it frequently damages fruit in orchards.
Another blue beauty! - Happy Monday!
Thanks a lot for your visits, comments, faves, invites, etc. Very much appreciated!

Taken by my spouse with his 200mm macro and old D4. After my accident with that remarkable lens--and repairs by Nikon are good, but I almost could have purchased a new one for the same price--I do not borrow this rather dear lens.
Slight crop. Maple tree that we did not have planted.

Transforming this mushroom-image, into this one. It was fun ;-))

most people are afraid of a new beginning as it often times means that new challenges are ahead. with an apprentice's mindset, one is able to look into themselves and find the true value that you are bringing into your new destiny. use these tests as a chance to make yourself better for the future.
I'm enjoying seeing the new growth in my wife's garden, including the grape hyacinths springing up through the ivy.
I took this photo in the middle of last month. It is one of my yellow hibiscus flowers. As Autumn was encroaching they were trying desperately to flower but the colder nights were stopping them in their tracks and this is as far as they got. Plus, the yellow colour of them was coming out more like orange. I like their shape (& colour) despite the stunted growth

HCT!
This stump supporting the large pot was an elder tree deposited as a seed forty years ago by a passing bird no doubt. It grew and grew and as we aged together I became weaker and it became stronger, pushing down my fences and scattering dye filled berries everywhere. When my friend who made red wine from the berries and white wine from the flowers passed away and I became less able to control its growth I had it reduced it to a stump. I felt guilty but it did make a good stand for the pot.
Potting utensils left behind next to the kitchen garden in the "Haus der Offiziere", an old military training quarter in Wünsdorf from 1910. After the war it served the Russian military in East Germany until 1994.
Unfortunately this scene from the Birchen Coppice view point, has been taken over in resent years by tree growth. This is a shot I took of fourteen years ago where the view extended from the parish church of St Anne's in Bewdley across to the West Midland Safari Park. Featured loco working off Safari Curve is 80072.

I didn't realise at the time but this little bird had a strange bobble like growth on his beak.
I have never observed this before on oystercatchers, and am curious as to what it is.
