Took this photo deep in the Ozark National Forest of Northwest Arkansas where in many areas the trees are already ablaze with color.
Here is an update from Arkansas Tourism:
Northwest/North Central– In the northwest, the maples are at peak at Prairie Grove Battlefield State Park and in the downtown areas of Fayetteville, Rogers, Springdale and Bentonville. Moderate color is being reported on I-540 from Fayetteville to Mountainburg. Eureka Springs has good fall color right now and it’s getting better with each passing day. U.S. 62 from Rogers through Eureka Springs and Harrison to Mountain Home is recommended. Early-changing hardwoods are colorful now, while the oaks will require a little more time. The trees around Harrison have excellent color this week. The maples at Maplewood Cemetery and the Harrison Downtown Square are nearing peak, hickories are turning yellow and oaks are changing as well. The dogwoods and sumac along the highway are very pretty. Scenic Byway 7 has color south of Harrison to near Pelsor. The Buffalo River area is another good choice in this vicinity. In Boxley Valley, Ark. 16, 21, 43, and 74 are recommended. The Mountain View area also has color now 50%, with Scenic Highway 14 to Ark. 341 from Mountain View to Norfork recommended.

In Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, Cape Town, South Africa, there is a huge tree canopy walkway - It felt strange being able to walk through the tops of the trees, and it was a marvellous structure if only a little wobbly in places LOL
Wishing you all a very Happy Fence Friday... unfortunately however in our house, it's not a happy Friday.... my sister's wee dog Patch got hit on the road by a car last night and she didn't make it .... There are two very very sad little boys in that house with just a week before Christmas....
I want to thank all of you so much for the lovely comments and messages this year, you guys have been amazing and I've made so many lovely friends :)
This black-and-white photograph captures a serene and tranquil park scene. The composition features two empty wooden benches, spaced apart, under the canopy of tall, mature trees with thick trunks. The background is dominated by a wall covered in dense, creeping ivy, giving a sense of seclusion and natural beauty. The soft light filtering through the trees adds depth and contrast, highlighting the texture of the tree bark and the leaves. The overall mood is peaceful and contemplative, evoking a quiet, reflective atmosphere.
Along the paths on the outskirts of Sugar Mill Gardens, you can see old Florida in all its glory. The canopy of towering oaks and palms against a brilliant blue sky has been the same for hundreds, thousands, if not millions of years.
Florida is not an hospitable place. Before people "tamed" it, and made it safer for themselves, Florida was like a jungle. Dense underbrush, full of palmetto and poison ivy, was home to its more unsavory residents. In many wildlife refuges and parks, you get a glimpse of this facet of the state, but still can remain relatively safe in most places, thanks to trails, and walkways. Venturing off the trails can be deadly, not so much in lovely Sugar Mill Gardens, since it is surrounded by homes on all sides and people aren't as likely to run into rattlesnakes, coral snakes, Cottonmouths, or alligators, the latter of which seek out ponds and lakes, which don't exist in this garden refuge. Still, there are black racers, harmless, but aggressive and fast, and several types of spiders, some of which are poisonous. These are the "locals" you could run into most anyplace in Florida, even in the suburbs.
What I HAVE seen in the gardens are raccoons, and squirrels, gopher tortoises and Anole Lizards, an owl, and Egrets flying overhead, and only one racer. The spiders, unfortunately for me, are common, as I HATE arachnids, but I've only seen a black widow here once. We don't have the monopoly on these arachnids, but our climate seems to encourage them to grow quite large. Golden Orb Weavers, better known as Banana Spiders, are among the largest, but I don't think I've ever seen them in the gardens. Their webs are huge- sometimes 10 feet across, and strong enough to catch a small bird! Walking into one can pretty much ruin your day!
Rest assured that this place, though, is a much safer version of the great outdoors, where you can roam in peace, snapping away as you go, and enjoying tremendous beauty reminiscent of the Florida of long ago. There is something about being in the natural state of things that brings great peace to the human soul.
The colours of the leaves above my head were just glorious, with the light streaming through them. I haven't really done them justice here
Branches like veins, tracing life against a canvas of sky—every twist and turn tells a story of balance, strength, and beauty in imperfection. Looking up, you see not just a tree, but a masterpiece of nature’s design.

Ein Spaziergang im Haslimoos-Wald. Das Licht fällt sanft durch die Baumkronen und bringt die Strukturen der Blätter zum Leuchten. Eine Begegnung mit dem Wald in seinem eigenen Rhythmus.
A walk in the Haslimoos Forest. The light falls gently through the treetops, illuminating the leaves. An encounter with the forest in its own rhythm.
The fruit of a Large Leaved Lime (Tilia platyphyllos) caught against the weak afternoon light of a Winter day at Trentham Gardens in Stoke-on-Trent.
The tree is often associated with fertility, and sometimes liberty, throughout Europe.
Experimenting with some low-light sunset captures. It was almost dark when I took this! I like the way the cloud-line almost mimics the treetop-line ~ Sunset ~ Florida Everglades

De karakteristieke erker van het Katwijks Museum, staand gefotografeerd met een groothoeklens. Het bladerdek van de omliggende bomen omsluit de koepel subtiel, waardoor architectuur en natuur prachtig samenkomen.
----------------------
The distinctive bay window of the Katwijks Museum, captured standing with a wide-angle lens. The tree canopy gently frames the dome, blending architecture and nature in a beautiful composition.
A rather forboding Winter image. The last of the leaves of a Silver Birch (Betula pendula) tree hang on, deep into January, amongst the tree canopy of Trentham Gardens in Staffordshire.
Silver Birch holds mythological symbolism relating to purification, love and fertility.

This One seconds long exposure was taken at 04.33am on a beautiful Springtime morning in the Golden hour around sunrise (Sunrise was at precisely 05.44am), at an altitude of Twenty three metres on Friday 24th April 2020, off Bexley Lane and Rectory Lane within Foots Cray Meadows in Bexley, Kent.
After weeks of self isolation due to the global pandemic that we know as COVID-19 Coronavirus, we are allowed to go out for exercise once per day and keep away from others. A walk in the misty meadows today to taste the fresh air and get my limbs moving again.
