The group of tree lovers anticipating the coring. Attendees included representatives from UPenn, The Philadelphia Botanical Club, UCGreen, PHS, Bartram’s Garden and of course, the Woodlands.
One of my favorite parks here in the Savannah area is Forsyth.It reminds me of Germany with its beautiful spacious and inviting gardens.
I've been there 100s of times before and never noticed this tree in the park.
Wonderful how you can do something over and over and always discover something new and exciting each time!
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 !!!
Tree lovers
This is the second time I've photographed these trees. This is in the woods surrounding Ozenji Temple. I love the way these two trees wrap around each other, almost like lovers embracing.
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! "

Muir Woods
Mill Valley, CA
March 2010
On Jan. 9, 1908, Pres. Theodore Roosevelt signed legislation establishing Muir Woods National Monument. William and Elizabeth Kent had donated the woods to save the trees, and asked that it be named after John Muir. Upon learning of its dedication, Mr. Muir declared, "This is the best tree-lovers monument that could possibly be found in all the forests of the world."
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...

Some sad news for all tree lovers. This old oak at Bergdalen where I live is no more. The gardeners at Blomorado didnt want the oak there, I don't know if the oak was sick, I'm no tree surgeon. The guy working here is Per "Josse" Johnson.

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)
For all my friends who are Tree lovers . . . this perhaps is my favorite cherry blossom because it has character!
I am off to Boston this weekend to photograph a family function but had to post just one more of my beloved cherry blossoms. Thank you ll for your recent comments and I hope to catch up on everyone soon.
Happy Shooting!
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...
