This old gnarled oak tree in Roslin Glen looks like it has arms and legs and is ready to walk away like some wooden octopus. This is an old Kodachrome slide from over 20 odd years ago, I'm happy to say the tree is still there and looking every bit as spooky and enchanting as it did to me back then. If you peer into the centre of the tree and let your imagination run wild there appears to be a small face lit up in the shadows!! The lights caught it perfectly. I took this photo totally unaware of the wee face, it was my mother who noticed it on the cibachrome I got made from the slide. Nowadays as soon as I look at this photo the wee face is all I see. It's always been one of my favourite photos.
Autochrome stereo view taken at "Old Oaks", the Florida winter home of an unidentified Philadelphia family. Does anyone know their name & other details?
Up for sale on Cedar Hill Road. I noticed that nobody seemed to be home over the Summer, and then the sign appeared. The barn has “1907” laid out in its slate shingles (hard to spot with a tree in the way, and almost invisible unless the light is right. In fact this was the first time in a long while that I managed a photo of the numbers, angled from the north.). The large dead oak is special, as the owners allowed it to stand for years. Perhaps it held memories for them. The new owners (or maybe even the realtors) will probably have it gone soon.

an ancient oak tree standing beside a farmers field shows signs of having been repeatedy coppiced in the past, as its branches reach out in a radiating pattern along its tall trunk.
Such a sweet voice I heard singing. Obviously, beauty is more than skin-deep.

Sebrights were first bred by Sir John Saunders Sebright, MP for Hertfordshire and friend of Charles Darwin. Registered as a breed in 1810 Sir John never revealed how he had created the the Sebright - however it is pretty certain that a game cock figured somewhere in the gene pool. Sebrights are incredibly feisty and the tiny Sneezy stays at the front of the house because in the garden she is always picking fights. Here she can only threaten the neighbours' cat - which she does and on frequent occasion also any passing dog.
'There are bout 450 species of oak described worldwide, of which 25 are native to Europe. Only sessile (durmast oak) and pedunculate (common oak) have such a broad distribution, and they are the sole species native to the north and west of the continent.
Oaks are members of the beech family, Fagaceae, and are long-lived trees which grow relatively slowly, at least in their initial years. Both pedunculate and sessile oak are large trees, reaching up to 40 metres in height. However, because of its more north-westerly distribution and ability to grow on higher ground, sessile oak is more usually only up to 30 metres tall in Scotland. Trees of both species regularly live to be 500 years old, and individuals of 1,000 years old are known, although in some cases that age has been achieved by coppicing them over long periods of time.
The bark of both species is grey and fissured, often covered with various lichens, and old trees can reach an exceptional girth - some individuals have a circumference of 12 metres. The large spreading branches produce substantial domed crowns, sometimes resulting in the trees being wider than they are tall. The branches of the sessile oak tend to be straighter than those of the pedunculate oak, which can become twisted or even gnarled with age.'

"'We've come so far and we couldn't have done it without God's grace and the generosity of the community,' said [Kahassai] Tafese, who fled Ethiopia when he was a boy. 'We went from nothing to having a church of this beauty and this size.'"
-- Dispatch, from July 2007, when the congregation celebrated their new home at the hundred-year old church building on Oakwood.
the weather swings have been quite disturbing for the wildlife... on Thanksgiving day the high of 71F brought the birds to the birdbath...next day on friday the wind was gusting upto 27 MPH and the high was only 41F... the poor bluebird could hardly hold himself against the blowing arctic winds...

Questa quercia era la maggiore per dimensioni del tronco esistente in Abruzzo. Con i suoi 7.8 m di circonferenza era fra le piu' grosse d'Italia. In passato si e' cercato abbatterla per farne legna ma riusci' a salvarsi poiche' in tutto l'Abruzzo non fu trovata una sega abbastanza lunga per tagliare il suo grosso tronco.
Purtroppo il 12 Luglio 2007 si e' schiantata al suolo molto probabilmente per cause dovute alla sua vecchiaia (molte parti erano ormai secche e marcescenti). Cio' nonostante l'ente Parco Nazionale del Gran Sasso e dei Monti della Laga ha preso l'impegno di lasciarla in loco quale reperto di alto valore naturalistico. Io non sono riuscito a vederla ancora in vita. Cio' nonostante il 16 Agosto 2008 sono andato a visitarla per renderle il dovuto omaggio.

This oak was the largest in Abruzzo regarding its girth. With its 7.8 m it was among the largest in Italy. In the past there have been attempts to cut it down for its wood but it was saved by the fact the in the entire Abruzzo there was no saw large enough to cut its massive trunk.
Unfortunately in July 12, 2007 it crashed on the ground probably for its age (large portions were by then dried or rotten). Nonetheless the National Park of Gran Sasso and Monti della Laga committed to leave it there as exhibit of high naturalistic value. I was not able to see it still alive. Nonetheless on August 16, 2008 I went to visit and honor it.
