This tree in London's Kensington Palace Gardens fell a long time ago, maybe 10 years. Usually the Park people saw up fallen trees and cart them off PDQ! On this occasion, maybe they couldn't, so it has been allowed to stay. I've been taking photos over most of this period, and until very recently it hasn't really changed much, but the strong winds that we had at the end of December have caused a lot of the branches to break, and there is very much less of it to see now. It's still popular with birds though.
This tree is located towards the North end of the Long Water, near to the Peter Pan statue and the Italian Garden.
If you look closely you can see one of the Egyptian Geese. These birds have colonised the parks in recent years, although there are not a lot of them They are notable for the noise they make, their un goose-like tendency to perch in trees, and for being very good parents. They often manage to bring a clutch of goslings right the way through without any losses.
Found this cool old tree on my journey's yesterday. Was hoping for some big fluffy snow flakes and a bit more light, but like the result! I will have to visit this tree again! :-D
This Bonsai was started for me by my wife over thirty years ago. I must be frank and admit that I smile every time I see it awake in spring.
Summer, as we know it, typically ends shortly after the fireweed have bloomed completely (from the base up to and including the tip). As you can see, we're getting close to the end...

I think it's a Eastern Cottonwood. They're supposed to have that highly ridged bark like this tree does & the branches grow so crazy. This tree's trunk is huge, so I think it's quite old.
These trees may not be all that large, but they're surprisingly old. They're in the million acre Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, very near the area of the Ham Lake wildfire that's currently burning (May 2007).
Lee Frelich, forest ecologist with the University of Minnesota Dept. of Forest Resources, has conducted extensive research on this ecosystem. Believe it or not, he estimates these northern white-cedars to be between 500 and 1000 years old.
The main disturbances in this system are fire, wind, and insects.
Cedar is not fire resistant--its thin bark makes it vulnerable to even low-intensity fire. But these trees are on the windward side of islands, right at the water's edge. The combination of the slope position, the proximity to (cool) water, and the topography protected these trees from fire.
Their short stature makes them resistant to windthrow.
Not many insects or diseases affect northern white-cedar, and under the right conditions they can live a very long time.
I wish I had a better shot of this, but had to take what I could get passing by in a canoe.
Allentown neighborhood, Buffalo. Oldest tree in Buffalo, this sycamore is about 300 years old. Franklin Street, Allentown neighborhood, Buffalo.
Towering over 65 feet high, the Angel Oak has shaded John's Island, South Carolina, for over 1400 years, and would have sprouted 1000 years before Columbus' arrival in the New World. Recorded history traces the ownership of the live oak and surrounding land, back to the year 1717 when Abraham Waight received it as part of a small land grant. The tree stayed in the Waight family for four generations, and was part of a Marriage Settlement to Justus Angel and Martha Waight Tucker Angel. In modern times, the Angel Oak has become the focal point of a public park. Today the live oak has a diameter of spread reaching 160 feet, a circumference of nearly 25 feet, and covers 17,100 square feet of ground. www.historictrees.org
I could spend the rest of my life just photographing that tree, it was love at first sight. I decided to leave the people and signs in the photo, I thought they gave it scale.

This magnificent cherry blossom tree is one of the largest and oldest in Shimane, having reigned for over 600 years. It's so fragile now that it requires big wooden planks to support it, as well as concrete filling (painted brown) to reinforce its trunk.

O for Old Tree
Same spelling for US and British
Wanted to get some sun-set shot, usually people will go to the east-coast park. kind of far from city centre, and the sun set among the housing estate. West coast could be a better place

We decided to use it for a tune called Waiting For. Available on CDBaby www.cdbaby.com/cd/wkoscielniak10.
This template may be used for either a single or maybe even the whole album cover. We have to keep it around for a while and later decide how much we still like it. The colors are quite healthy, greens and yellows, some blues, and the red and yellow letters match nicely the colorful background.
In the town of Icod de los Vinos on the north side of the island, this impressive specimen of Dracaena draco, the Canary Island Dragon Tree, is called the 'Drago Milenario' because it was thought to be more than a thousand years old (now it's been estimated at less than 1,000 — regardless, it's the oldest of its kind). What's unmistakable is its majesty; 18 metres (59 feet) tall, it spreads its branches as if they were countless arms. Legend has it that a merchant pursuing an indigenous Guanche maiden in this forest, ran into this tree instead. It's also said that the blood that scared the visitor and made him flee the island flows inside its trunk. In any event, this dramatic ancient tree is a must see on the island. One For Laurie!.
