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.

"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! "
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".

I think the tree lovers (like me)
left love notes on the tree...
love this one fresh from ebay...
used their scan.
For the tree lovers. Sterling silver oak leaves charms and 'acorns' of freshwater pearls, high lighted with sea glass in all shades of green. All are wire wrapped onto a sterling silver chain. Matching pendants on olive green seaglass and leather cord too!
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.

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 mature Beech trees have grown into each other all along the row. These are the "closest" couple.
Photo taken with Nikon D60 and 55-200mm telephoto lens. Adjusted and framed in Picnik.
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!:)
Where is the Garden of Eden in the World – There is hardly anyone who does not know what happened to Adam and Eve after they bit off the ill-fated apple. Everyone remembers and about the snake-tempter, guardian of the paradise tree. Lovers forever left that fabulous place called the Garden of Eden.

USA: California: Marin County: Muir Woods National Monument: John Muir described Muir Woods: "This is the best tree-lovers monument that could possibly be found in all the forests of the world". It was my pleasure to photograph there today.
From a strenuous hike to the bottom of the Gorge the other day, just a tree lovers photo, and nice spot to be to be alone.
I spotted these lovers in a passionate embrace, they were so wrapped up in each other they didn't notice me!!!
Just saw this scene this morning at a historic site (Fort Hill) in Cape Cod National Seashore in Eastham, MA. A lot of thoughts pass through one's mind upon encountering a scene like this (how fortunate the house was spared; how old is the house; what kind of tree is it; how old was the tree; when did it fall over; etc.) but ultimately the most puzzling aspect of the situation was the absence of any sign of where the tree formerly stood -- no hole or depression anywhere in the yard. Was the tree brought in by a giant helicopter to serve as a massive yard ornament or natural sculpture? A bit of poking around the Internet reveals that the tree came down in a March Nor'easter in 2018. Yes, 2018! Why hasn't an enterprising arborist or tree-company staged a free tree removal project? One source claimed that it was an old pear tree; wood-workers love pear wood, so perhaps the property owner is waiting for someone to salvage the wood for a wood-turner? One source indicated the owner of the property was holding calling hours for tree-lovers; a kind of extended wake. At least this information explains the absence of a giant scar on the lawn:; ;the yard has been repaired but the tree remains.
If you know more about this situation, feel free to enlighten us.

A few more of these (lots more downstream)
I went to Longwood to photograph my friend Valerie Bailey's Victorian caroling ensemble and did some very low-light shooting with the D7000 and a variety of lenses.
Nikon D7000 with either a Nikon 70-200mm VR II, a Nikon 50mm F/1.4 lens, or a Nikon 16-35mm VR, all of which were shot handheld.
Please visit the Entropic Remnants website or my Entropic Remnants blog -- THANKS!
