The stump of the last cypress tree that was removed a couple weeks ago. I was smart this time and had Evan wear his rainboots so he wouldn't get wood shavings all over his regular shoes.

Brockwell park on a misty day before Christmas 2006.

I love trees and these two beautiful old oak trees in Sheffield Park gardens are magnificent.

Longish exposure of the tree in front of my house in the wind before a spring storm. It reminds me of shots of water flowing.

They are the only members of the kangaroo family that can climb trees. Matschie’s tree kangaroos can leap up to 60 feet without injury. They are adapted to life in the trees, with broader feet, bigger claws (to grasp bark and branches), plus longer & more flexible tails than ground-dwelling kangaroos. Only about 1,400 survive in the world as their habitat is being destroyed by logging,

i needs a tripod =[ the camera was balanced on a stack of books for this shot !

I'm still looking for the right angle, this shot isn't quite it.

Christmas at North Hills kicks-off every year with the Annual Tree Lighting. The event includes a vendor village, sledding slopes, trackless train rides, kids crafts, a capella performances and other live music, concluded by a visit from Santa and Mrs. Claus to light the 40 foot tree in the center of North Hills.

The Rockefeller Center Christmas tree lit up for the season with skaters enjoying the ice rink! Starting with the first tree in 1931 when construction workers brought in 20 ft Balsam Fir tree on Christmas Eve at the (then) construction site of 30 Rockefeller Center. Today the tree's height measure 7 to 8 stories tall and has become a world famous seasonal attraction for both old and young! Did you know the tallest Christmas tree was erected in 1999 and topped out at 100 ft tall?

First time up to Blaise Castle. Managed to get this shot before battery died - schoolboy error!

but lo - we did it - stump and all! and in relatively short order. while it’s a bummer to have to take her down, we’re planting one to replace her.

I haven't taken a walk in the field where this tree lives in a while. No idea what befell it. Maybe lightning struck. I think the tree seems too strong for a heavy snowfall to crack it, or a big wind. Poor tree.

Ava, in last year's nutcracker Christmas jammies. Both kids' jammies from last year were looking borderline too small this year. Not ideal for photos of them reaching up high...
