Tree man in the last picture inspired me to explore the inside of a strangler fig which had killed its host tree. The resulting hollow tree is also called a "columnar tree". It was a cool place for a break and play with the camera.
…..Spotted this tree on the shores of Derwent water in Cumbria, amazing how they cling on to life against the odds! It regularly gets a bath too as you can see by the tide mark on the shoreline. Alan:-)

When the outside temperature rises
And the meaning is oh so clear
One thousand and one yellow daffodils
Begin to dance in front of you - oh dear
Are they trying to tell you something
Youre missing that one final screw
Youre simply not in the pink my dear
To be honest you haven't got a clue
Im going slightly mad
Im going slightly mad
It finally happened - happened
It finally happened - ooh oh
It finally happened
Im slightly mad
Oh dear

The Woodland Trail in Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge on Assateague Island in Virginia. A 1.6 mile paved trail considered easy. It is for bikes and hiking and is wheelchair accessible. It a pretty trail with views of the marsh, Toms Cove, various wildlife including the horses at times. It gets hot so bring water and mosquito repellent. Thank you for the views, faves, and comments. -- #Chincoteague #WoodlandTrail #NPS #ChincoteagueNationalWildlifeRefuge #AssatteagueNationalSeashore #AssateagueIsland
A couple of summers ago I thought Pileated Woodpeckers were nesting in this hollowed-out tree trunk on Armand Bayou but I have since come to the conclusion that they only use it as an Airbnb when they find themselves in the area at bedtime. This single male poked his head out just before sunrise, popped out again on the backside and hammered a couple of tentative blows, then quickly departed for better breakfast choices over on Horsepen.
The Hollow Tree in Stanley Park is arguably the most famous tourist attraction in Vancouver for over the last 100 years. The Hollow Tree is very old, about 600-800 years old Western Red Cedar tree that died, but left a huge hollow stump. The stump has a circumference of about 60 feet with a huge hollow center. Since people have had cameras, they have taken photos of themselves inside the Hollow Tree. People have had cars, horse-drawn carriages, elephants, and obviously people inside the hollow tree for photos. Stanley Park drive originally was slated to go right through where the Hollow Tree stood, but after much objection, especially from the photographers who worked at the tree, the road was diverted.
In 2006, there was a huge windstorm that caused major damage to the trees in Stanley Park. The Hollow Tree was damaged and was leaning at a dangerous angle. The Vancouver Parks board considered dropping the tree and letting it rot. There was a big public outcry and finally the tree was saved by building a inner metal frame to hold up the tree safely. The tree is now standing straight and open for people to take photos in. If you come to Vancouver, you need to have your photo taken inside the Hollow Tree.

I believe this to be a male (left) and female pair of sibling Pileated Woodpeckers I saw being coached by a parent in this general area of Armand Bayou a couple of months back. Regardless, the female was contentedly working this hollowed-out cypress trunk when the male charged in and chased her away. Soon enough, though, she returned (see previous post) and maintained a defensible position until both headed off to the denser surrounding flatland forest.

Very much colder than it was yesterday, but thankfully still sunny, so I took a brief walk round the car park and noticed this hollowed out tree trunk.
Not sure quite what I was aiming for, but I rather like the end result.

Thank you for your favourites. :O)
The sun shone through the dense forest, dappling the ground with patches of light. The air was filled with the sound of birds singing and the rustle of leaves in the gentle breeze. Suddenly, a large brown bear emerged from the trees, walking slowly and gracefully. Its fur glinted in the sunlight, and its powerful muscles rippled as it moved. As it walked, it paused to sniff the air and examine its surroundings.
Mom had to move the family to new digs after a few days of heavy rain.
Normally, one to four young are born in each litter, but the largest possible litter size is eight. Newborn grey squirrels weigh 13-18 grams and are entirely hairless and pink.

Thank you for the visit!
Caught these little guys on our walk today. Really hard to catch as they quickly popped up and down. Fun to watch.

but with a huge presence. Hollow tree at Markeaton Park. Seen on our first visit in years to this park after our second COVID-19 vaccinations in nearby Allestree.

Peacock / aglais io. Minsmere, Suffolk. 22/07/20.
'WARMING UP WHILE CHILLING OUT.'
Although warm, the sun hadn't fully broken through on the morning I made the image. I discovered this very fresh Peacock perched in a sheltered spot, on dead bracken. With wings fully spread it lay motionless, warming itself up. It made a very obliging subject, too good to pass by!
