Taxus of "venijnboom". De bessen zijn erg giftig. Napoleon vaardigde ooit een decreet uit om alle taxusbomen te kappen omdat er heel wat paarden en vee stierven na het eten van de bessen.
A beautiful sunset made me go to Søvik to do some photohunting. I thought this tree made some nice contrasts against the sundowny background.
Looking through some old photos I came across these shots of old trees in the woods close to our house. They were taken in 2006 with my old Fuji camera.
I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the earth’s sweet flowing breast;
A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
A tree that may in summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;
Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.
"Trees"
by Alfred Joyce Kilmer
(1886–1918)
I love trees, especially old trees. They say you can tell how old a tree is if you look inside it and count the rings. I couldn't see too many rings inside this tree, the lightening strike had left it looking like the inside of a gothic cathedral. You can still tell its old though, and if you listen carefully, you can still feel its soul.
This brave old apple tree is still standing, while the house owning the garden is long gone.
The same tree is shown in the background of another moonlight image and in another shot taken two months earlier.

It is nice to see that they have found ways to use old trees.
The park was forced to close for two weeks in February 2014 after Storm Darwin caused 19 trees to fall and work was needed to repair damaged pavements, railings and unblock pathways. But there was some good news … Ssome of the oldest and rarest trees knocked in Limerick’s People’s Park by Storm Darwin are being given a new lease of life by being transformed into works of art.

Sadly one of the rarest trees in the park, an ornamental tree called a ‘Tetradium Danielli” which was about 80 or 90 years old was destroyed in the storm. The tree in question is commonly called a ‘Bee Bee’ tree as it is covered in late July and August with masses of small white flowers which attracts large numbers of bees as a source of late summer honey. Prk management had a chat with Zambian woodcarver Paradazi Havatyitye and as a result he carved three beautiful bees in the remaining stump.
