This one tree stretches for ten sections of the fencing. I'm not sure if the sections are eight or ten feet each, but either way, this tree sure has a very broad canopy!
My corner of the family Christmas tree. Beatrix Potter's Tom Kitten, Batman, and my favoritest ornament ever, the fairy with the poofy hair. She doesn't hang from the tree; she's got wire bendy limbs and just sites on a branch. She makes me happy.
She's falling apart, and I'm desperately looking to find a replacement for her.
Namibian resin trees are quite common around Windhoek and in the central highlands.
They grow on hill tops, on rocks.
This one is struggling to survive...I hope it will.

Have a great Tree-mendous Tuesday, everyone!
HTMT!
On the east side of Glacier by the Blackfeet Indian Reservation there is a huge grove of windswept trees like the ones pictured. After a short hike, you will run into tree after tree, each gnarlier than the last. It was quite the experience. The grove is located on a little plateau overlooking some of Glacier's mountains and you can feel the wind up there that shaped these trees. I visited twice, the second time I wanted to shoot the full moon and was there around 4-5am. Winds were howling and a cold front had came through that night leaving temps in the 20s. I had two down jackets on and probably looked like I was about to climb Everest. The wind is relentless though even on a calm day. This shot was from my first hike up to the trees and it was 'calm', AKA 30mph winds. This was the morning after the lenticular and the light was off the hook again. Actually got lucky, if the sun would have rose about an hour later, sunrise would have just been bland and gray with overcast skies. This was no doubt, one of the best sunrises I have ever seen. Yet, it was the quickest as well. There was some beautiful pre-dawn light, but the real show was when the sky lit up like you see here. 30 seconds later is was gone and there was snow in the air.

"Trees"
I saw this row of trees the other day while out and about. I thought they looked nice against the apartments. I don't know what kind they are. Maybe you recognize them.
..and for Sight and Sound
Seals and Crofts from their album "Summer Breeze" (1972)

A very windy dusk @Sydney University.
"The University of Sydney (informally Sydney University or USyd) is a university located in Sydney, Australia. It is the oldest university in Australia, having been established in 1850.
The main campus is centered on large Oxbridge-inspired grounds which spread across the suburbs of Camperdown and Darlington on the south-western outskirts of the Sydney CBD. The architect Edmund Blacket designed the original Neogothic sandstone Quadrangle and Great Tower buildings, which were completed in 1862."

Trees are much like human beings and enjoy each others' company. Only a few love to be alone.

HBW! Well these are the blossoms that come before the berries on this tree. I have no idea what kind of tree it is, and nobody I've asked did either.
It was rainy and overcast when I took this, so the lights not the best
This 250 year old White Oak tree in Oakville Ontario was set to be cut down in 2006 to make room for an expansion to Bronte Road. With the city unwilling to foot the bill, the community got together to raise the $340,000 needed to re-route the road around the tree (they were just short of the goal at the deadline but the city and province stepped in and made up the difference).
The tree won and now stands in the middle of the road with two lanes going around each side of the tree.
Happy Tree-mendous Tuesday
