A walk along the winding pathways of Ballinastoe Woods in County Wicklow is pure joy for the senses. The tall pines rise like silent guardians, their branches whispering with the breeze, while sunlight filters through in golden patches that dance on the forest floor. The air is crisp, carrying the earthy scent of moss and pine needles, and each step brings a gentle hush from the soft woodland trail. As the path meanders deeper into the trees, the outside world fades away, leaving only the calming rhythm of nature, a place where time seems to slow and every turn invites a moment of quiet wonder.
Redwoods are the tallest trees on earth growing over 300ft or more! They only grow in California. Some remaining today are over 2000 years old! A tree lovers paradise. Remember to leave nature as you found it. What you bring with you should leave with you!

"Brodsworth Hall and Gardens, Doncaster – Gold Award and Category Winner
Visiting the site in glorious sunshine was always going to help show this entry in all its glory but the judges were simply blown away by the stunning grounds and incredibly high level of maintenance displayed here. The knowledge of horticulture applied here is at its highest level and is testament to the hard work and dedication of both paid staff and volunteers.
Highlights are many: The magnificent, ancient Lebanon Cedar which predates the hall and the giant Californian Redwood are ‘must sees’ for tree lovers; the superb collection of bedding complementing a vast array of herbaceous plantings all which were almost totally weed free, the charming Fern Grotto – the only one of its kind in the country; and the exquisitely maintained hedges and shrubs.
Amazingly, there are major ongoing restorative projects about to start to compliment these features even further. All who are involved with this site have definitely provided the ‘WOW’ factor! "

A photo of a tree I was under. I played around with it to create an abstract. I hope all you green & tree lovers will enjoy this pic. All faves and comments are very appreciated. Please don’t think I’m rude if I don’t get back to you in a timely manner. 🙏😎🙋♀️🌳🌲
When John Muir learned that William and Elizabeth Kent were naming a redwood forest near San Francisco in his honor, he declared, "This is the best tree-lovers monument that could possibly be found in all the forests of the world." The couple had purchased the land to preserve its beauty and restful wilderness; and in 1908, they donated it to the federal governent to protect it from destruction.
Freight Train
If I was a lady, and you were a gentlemen
Would you ever get me in your head again
You got your thing, I've got mine
We got nowhere to go tonight
Winter came, faster than a freight train
I dont see a sign of slowing down
But your the one I want, you're the one I want, you're the one
It's all the same, life does you that way
I don't try to understand
You fell your way, you fell mine
We got nowhere to fall, but behind
Winter came, faster than a freight train
I don't see a sign of slowing down
But you're the one I want, you're the one I want, you're the one
Life's to short for doubting and much too long to live without love
You're the one I want, you're the one I want, you're the one.

now onto the train wreck of this old Hemlock.
from a forestry weblink,
Eastern hemlocks are an important component of West Virginia’s forests.
Hemlocks are relatively large, long-lived, and shade-tolerant trees. They form dense canopies under low light conditions creating distinctive wildlife habitat.
In addition to providing shade critical for maintaining the water temperature of many native trout streams, they provide food and shelter for songbirds, turkey, and grouse, and forageand cover for a variety of mammals.
Forty-seven species of mammals and ninety-six species of birds have been documented using the hemlock resource in the northeastern United States.
what a devastating loss for the forests of the east, not just for us humans.
I sent around an email to a few dear friends last night, letting them know the old giant has fallen...
my dear friend replied with an eulogy.... copied below.
Thanks for sharing the demise of our old friend the venerable hemlock that saw so much fun has hit the "drink"...maybe (s)he had too much to drink!.
it's just one more in the great parade in the cycle of birth & death. It's passing leaves a space for something different to happen. What we know not! But it's a possiblity that is allowed to happen because death made the way for something new to happen.
May it be food for the universe.
So sad to see the passing of all hemlocks, like the passing of the chestnuts during the chestnut blight they will be remembered down through the ages because tree lovers like us will keep their memory alive.
All hail the mighty hemlock and sing its praises! Hail the venerable teacher that gave so much.
Hail the loving hemlock that watched over us children as we played, and sang, and, laughed and loved.
Hail the useful hemlock that held back the banks of the creek, prevented erosion, provided food and shelter for myriad organisms big and microscopic.
Let it's passing be marked and its reputation be trumpeted to the heavens.
How we loved this tree and all trees!
Farewell fair tree, we loved you well.
XO

For Roseméa and Fodd, tree lovers like me ;-)
In Nordic folklore there is a woman called "huldran"... she grows out of a birch tree... perhaps it's because some birch trees look like a pair of woman's legs... so the imagination leads to a fairy lady called "huldran".

Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson ecologists and tree lovers planted two paper birch trees near the JBER library and the JBER Cache in celebration of Alaska’s Arbor Day, May 12 and 15. National Arbor Day is always celebrated on the last Friday in April, however, Alaska’s Arbor Day is celebrated on the third Monday in May. (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Javier Alvarez)

Acer palmatum var. atropurpureum "Bloodgood"
-----------
Of the many MANY trees in my yard, this is my favorite tree.
It is seriously the most beautiful tree that I have ever seen.
Which would explain why it is so popular among tree lovers.
I've heard that they are 'hard to grow'.
Over the years many people have offered my family quite a bit of money for it, I'm assuming because of it's size, beauty & health. However, my family has always declined - and I know why.
I would never want to see this beauty go..
She's almost like magic to me.
A view showing the current status of what used to be "Sparkman Homes," a public housing complex in Huntsville. The city has done a good job of cleaning up the site, following demolition of the buildings. But the future fate of the site remains TBD. It's owned by the city's Housing Authority, which has indicated it plans to sell the property, presumably to a commercial developer.
A few of us -- tree lovers -- some time ago asked the city if the beautiful old oak trees could be saved, at least during the demo process, and the city obliged. Our hope -- perhaps a long shot -- is that the city might reimburse the Housing Authority for the property and turn it into a park. Clearly, it's already looking much like a ready-made park.

I'll be posting my 365s for yesterday & today either tonight or sometime tomorrow..
I've been very busy with my son's birthday stuff.. [I do this to myself every year.. Swamping myself with a ton of stuff that I should never even be attempting! LOL!] The party always turns out great though, and it's for my little angel so it's always worth it!
Hope everyone is having a fantastic weekend!
*wish me luck finishing all of this craziness by tomorrow..
alright- break is over!
take care!

"This is the best tree-lovers monument that could possibly be found in all the forests of the world," declared conservationist John Muir when describing the majestic coast redwoods of Muir Woods.
These pieces are so tiny that they could easily convert to ornaments!
I made these by following (and very lightly modifying) the "Mr. & Mrs. Santa Claus Crochet Pattern" designed by Ana Paula Rimoli (www.anapaulaoli.etsy.com). Ms. Rimoli crafted an easy-to-follow pattern, and Santa and Mrs. Claus each took only around two or three hours to make. (The tree took more like four, partially because I elected to make the flowers.)
Another fun pattern, Ana Paula!:)

Crooked, half-dead street tree (London Plane?) on Monroe Street NW in Columbia Heights. The orange dot and sign warning of "tree work" indicates it will either be removed, or given a major pruning. I've walked under this tree many times, and it does look like it's going to fall onto the sidewalk during a storm, so I'm glad to see the city is taking action. If it is removed, hopefully it will be replaced with a new tree that will not grow to resemble the Leaning Tower of Pisa.

These mature Beech trees have grown into each other all along the row. These are the "closest" couple.

The Kun Iam Temple (simplified Chinese: 普济禅院; traditional Chinese: 普濟禪院; pinyin: pǔjì chányuàn) is one of the three largest and richest Buddhist temples in Macau, and was originally called "Pou Chai Yes Un" (Pou Chai Temple). It is regarded as one of the oldest temples in Macau and was founded in the 13th century by the venerable Kun Iam, the Chinese representation of Avalokiteshvara, the Bodhisattva of Mercy.
The current buildings of the temple were built in 1627, as witnessed by a patio slab where it is written in Chinese: "Built in the seventh month of the seventh year of the reign of Emperor Tian Qi". The temple is located in Coronel Mesquita Avenue, in the Parish of Our Lady of Fatima, close to Mong Ha and Temples of Kun Iam Tchai and Seng Wong.[1]
The temple has a large entrance gate and roofs decorated with porcelain figures.[3] Inside the temple, there are 3 main pavilions.[3] These pavilions are dedicated, respectively, to the Precious Buddhas, the Buddha of Longevity and Kun Iam.[3] In the third pavilion, statue of Kun Iam is dressed in embroidered silk and decorated with a crown.[1][2][4] It is surrounded by 18 Buddhas on each side of the altar.[3] To the rear, are terraced gardens,[3] and one of them contains a commemorative arch. There are calligraphy scrolls and Chinese painting inside the temple of famous authors such as, Qu Dajun. During World War II, the Chinese painter Gao Jianfu lived and taught in the temple.
It was precisely at a stone table located in the gardens of the temple which was signed the first Sino-American Treaty on July 3, 1844 by the Viceroy of Liangguang Keying and the US Minister Plenipotentiary Caleb Cushing.[1][2] This treaty is known as the "Sino-American Treaty of Mong Ha". Near the table, there are 4 older trees with intertwined branches, best known for "tree lovers" and that symbolise marital fidelity. Elsewhere in the garden there are a small pavilion that contains a marble statue of a monk, several sources in the form of miniature Chinese landscapes, groves of bamboo and small shrines to deceased monks
