Muir Woods is located near San Francisco across the Golden Gate Bridge and eleven miles north. Here is the official National Park Service words about the park. Of all the traveling I've done out west this was the first time I've seen redwoods!

 

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.

On the bank of Pellicer Creek, North Florida, near St. Augustine and the Matanzas River. The roots of this pine tree seemed to transform back into branches to escape the salt water, twist back to the bank and then turn back into roots again to help anchor the tree to solid ground. This is all living tree - not flotsam.

This had all the makings of a great shot - an arthritic tree, lovers and a moon - if I just knew what I was doing

"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

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! "

A number of people wanted to know what a bush camp looked like so I'll post a series from each camp. This is Camp Lewi and is situated in a grove of Natal Mahogany (Trichilli emetica - for you tree lovers out there). Most of the bungalows are built under, and sometimes around one of these beautiful trees, to help provide shade. This is a long shot of my humble abode.

 

- Lewi bush camp in the South Luangwa National Park in Zambia.

It's not a beauty, rather a discreet tree, but for trees lovers, here's another one of African origin growing outdoors

For all the tree lovers out there, don't miss this lovely limited hand painted pendant
