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.

As you can see it's only 8 feet away from the road, as you tree lovers will know a chestnut tree grows big very big. I told councillor kalvin neel about this but all he said was ,, the council would not be that stupid to plant trees that close to a mian road and if i thought that then i was stupid as well ,,. He then put the phone down on me.
If you will look at the photo set ,,, ( Hull city council ) You will see the full set of photos with the dates i posted them and maybe you will see why mr neel dose not like me ,, have a look at the other photos some of the work has been done but they will still not let me move allwasy some resone i can not move. But as others can and do !!!
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!:)
April 13: Came across this small budded twig near the Staithe at Bungay. Nothing special you might say...but this has fallen from a black poplar. And what's so special about this tree, you may ask? Well tree lovers speak about it in reverential tones: John Constable, the famous English landscape artist, immortalised it in many of his paintings of the Suffolk countryside. It's a majestic tree, which likes to grow near water and can reach heights of up to 100ft. But because of its quirky pollination habits, it's becoming quite rare.
Its timber was much prized pre-industrial revolution, providing wood for a range of essentials from matches and match boxes to wooden clogs and fruit boxes.
These buds fell from a tree, near the Riverside Centre, which must be 70ft tall, and is covered in ivy. The buds reveal that it's a male poplar with crimson catkins; green female catkins ripen on separate trees. The buds are sometimes known as devil's fingers...and it's said to be unlucky to pick up fallen twigs. Oooh, I'm not superstitious but I feel compelled to return the twig from whence it came. Mustn't tempt fate!
Barefeet on bark, but trees are grandaughters favorite places when the weather is right for tree dwelling. She is not alone. There seems to be a club for tree lovers. Youth, so full of energy and so imaginative.
Awful seeing tree like this. I don't know if it was bad weather or yobs. Either way a sad sight for any tree-lovers :((

The Summer Bedding, Brodsworth Hall, Doncaster, South Yorkshire.
We won Yorkshire in Bloom this year! The judges comments :
"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! "
If any of you keen photographers are in Exeter at any point, there are a lovely assortment of parks within the city centre of Exeter... particularly for you avid tree lovers out there (just like me).
This was taken in Bury Meadow Park, nicknamed 'The Clock Tower Park', just at the side of the Hele Rd Exeter College campus...

"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.

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.

Like in the rest of the world, the more remote spots are for young lovers -and dedicated tree-lovers...Not observed by accidental passengers or acquaintances, they do their thing...hang a branch or carefully rub the trunk. In these shadowed places they look for rest and privacy...

This pic shows the stumps of the two fig trees in front of the former Colonial Secretary's Office in Bridge St, in Sydney...the trees were cut down in April 1912 to make way for the new Education Department Building (built 1912-15)...
The Colonial Secretary's Office fig trees were evidently planted in the 1830s...I gather their demise didn't go down well with tree lovers...

This pic is from a fascinating series of photos of everyday Sydney taken by photographer A.G. Foster that are in the SLNSW's collection...

* take care not to confuse A.G. Foster (Arthur George Foster), d. 1924 with A.E. Foster (Arthur Ernest Foster), d. 1958...both were earlier 20th century Sydney photographers and many of their photos are held in the various collections...where I suspect the two are sometimes mixed up...
A.G. Foster was a prominent member of the RAHS. He was an amateur photographer and took maybe hundreds of photos of historical interest showing old Sydney...many involving demolitions which recorded the passing of old Sydney, etc. He was also the author of Early Sydney, published 1920.

A.E. Foster was a professional photographer...he took maybe hundreds of photos of Sydney buildings in the process of construction etc in the 1920s and 1930s...
This is my version of the tree pattern within the "Mr. & Mrs. Santa Claus Crochet Pattern" by Ana Paula Rimoli (www.anapaulaoli.etsy.com)
I know I've mentioned the fact that I love trees but the story behind this tree is special. My co-worker of 22+ years asked me one day, if I ever noticed this particular tree, on our route into work. I was floored. You see, my good friend is not a real tree noticing type of guy. The way I see this is, either this tree is so magnificent that even non tree lovers, love it, or my friend is beginning to see more details in life. Either way, both scenarios are equally beautiful.
I was drawn to how the shadows of the branches played across the woodland floor—like the trees were whispering to one another in light and line. The first green leaves of spring scatter overhead, catching the sun just enough to hint at the season’s arrival.

I'll be conducting a free tree identification walk next Saturday the 15th of September at 11AM. Rain date Sunday the 16th.
I would especially like help from local botanist, gardeners and tree lovers in general in completing and correcting the tree identifications I've made so far. I started this project last Summer, because I wanted to learn the names of the trees in the park. The maps I found were long out of date, so I decided to make my own. I'm confident with about 90% of my identifications but I'm hoping to bring it up to 100% with the help of my neighbors.
Meet at East 8th Street and Avenue B, inside the park . Contact: Michael Natale gammanyc at gmail.com.
