Long ago the owners of this garage decided that the trees had come first. They liked the shade, so they worked around them!
Joshua Tree National Park, California
Sunrise near the north entrance to the park, a transitional zone between the Mojave Desert (the Joshua Tree is the signature plant) and the Sonora Desert (note the small cholla cactus with its glowing spines close to the Joshua Tree).
This is a side view of the famous Avenue of Oaks at the Boone Hall Plantation, SC. The trees were planted in 1743 by the original owner John Boone. Originally there were 86 trees lining the road to the house. Two of them were destroyed by the lightning. If you pay closer attention you will notice a gap between the third and fourth tree.
Thank you for viewing!
For every thought
kept silent
and still......
a thousand souls

This tree features in the latest Rihanna video :)
The tree which moves some to tears of joy is in the eyes of others only a green thing that stands in the way.

One thing i'll miss, once winter splits
is the bare and naked trees..
For spring has waited, patiently
to dress them up in leaves.
I love to see the shadow of
their trunks against a sunset sky...
(Naked trees are sexy things
but for what i don't know why...)
I love their branches laced in snow
up against a sky of blue...
I love them dressed up in ice
with a bright sun shining through..
Once their dressed, i must confess
they don't do a thing for me
though i do love the spring time buds
that change the scenery..
I love them best, when their dressed
In the beauty Autumn brings..
Still, Naked trees, are defiently
one one my favorite things...
I know that lots of you will say
"she's talking about a friggin tree.".
But do one thing,for me this spring
check out a naked pregant tree
First came Abigail, then came Barney next was Clodagh followed by Desmond none of them succeeded in removing all the leaves from these trees! Mind you after Desmond there were only these few!
In case you are wondering who the names belong to .... well they refer to a succession of storms that have battered the British Isles over the past couple of months. It seems that the Met. Office decided to name the bad storms and asked the public for suggestions. The next one will apparently be called Eva!
Vaska is a big fan of climbing trees and rooftops :-)
Thank you all for visits, faves and comments - greatly appreciated!
Avalon has a lot of beautiful flowering trees of which this was one. I know nothing about tropical flowering trees and would really like to know the name of this one.
ETA: This in an Australian Silver-oak!
Backlight trees in a very thin layer of fog.
The light pattern coming out of the trees is natural. We were at the altitude of the limit of the clouds and we were coming in and out of the clouds. I waited for the clouds to move up, and shot into the sun, with a light layer of clouds in between the sun and me, creating the star-shaped flare in the fog. It was a very beautiful moment.
Dark skies at the old tree today. The rain stayed away during my visit, but I biked home through the rain a few hours later.
Trees will always leave me in awe, especially when they are big enough to feel like a home. This was such peaceful place and I could have been sitting there for ever watching all the animals living there.

This was a late evening shot when the sun was on the horizon so that it's rays were just catching the very tops of the trees making it look as if they were on fire. I shot some video to as it was quite windy and the trees were swaying mesmerisingly.
To me, this looks like someone got trapped in a tree by a magicians spell. With Holloween coming I was looking for something scary, and this is the best I could come up with.
This unusual tree is on the Ringling estate in Sarasota, otherwise known as Ca' d'Zan. It's where John and Mabel Ringling lived and, now is a museum with sprawling gardens on Sarasota Bay.
This also reminds me of an Ent of LOTR fame. Of course, we have Peter Jackson's idea what they looked like; but before that, when I read the books, I imagined something like this. Maybe trees do have awareness, and we can communicate somehow. That would be a lot of fun, not scary at all. I'll look for something more frightening.
