So this is one of my favourite tree shots, taken at Blenheim Palace of all places. What a grand old tree, it looks so tree'ish!
I did post a horribly HDR'd version here way back 10 years ago but wanted to share it without the OTT HDR edit.
Happy Thursday from me and the trees :)

This tree at the Quiraing on Skye must be one of the most photographed trees in Scotland. It's certainly very photogenic. So much so that it's hard not to take the classic shot. I did however head over to see if I could capture some nice clouds just before sunrise too.
Trees in winter
With the arrival of winter, and often at the end of autumn, a new problem arises with trees. This specific "winter" problem is associated with the accumulation of wet snow and the formation of frost on the branches and trunks of trees. "Freezing rains" - phenomena occur under certain combinations of weather conditions: sleet, wind, fog, sudden changes in temperature with a "transition through 0 degrees". Such a significant load on the branches and trunks of trees can lead to emergency situations:
1. Breaking off and collapse of large branches. Typical for poplar, aspen, willow, linden, oak. To a lesser extent for pines and elms.
2. Breaking the forks of co-dominant trunks. Most often found in the above tree species with V-shaped forks. Less typical for U-shaped forks of birch and spruce.
3. Bending under the weight of snow and ice, with possible breaking of the trunks of inclined trees.
I found the trees without obvious problems :)

Stapleford Forest, there must be thousands of trees here, all maintained by the Forestry Commission. Some nice walks within the forest.
we went in search of the supermoon and found thick patches of low hanging fog...genuinely beautiful but could easily have been the opening scene of a 70's Hammer Horror film
A bit of a big crop but I liked the pose.
At White Lake, the bluebirds share airspace with other types of birds and this morning there were plenty of tree swallows circling about. While the bluebirds were off gathering supplies the tree swallows would visit.
Sumakh ("vinegar tree")
This small tree or tall shrub has an exotic appearance and looks attractive all year round. Most representatives of the Sumac genus grow in warmer climates and the only representative that has acclimatized in the middle zone is the deer-horned sumac (Rhus typhina).
Why autumn leaves are so diverse and differ in many shades, not everyone knows. Most of the year, pigments are masked by a large amount of green chlorophyll. But in autumn, due to a decrease in the length of daylight hours and a decrease in temperature, active metabolic processes in the leaves stop, nutrients move from the foliage to the branches, trunk and root system, chlorophyll breaks down. Pigments of yellow and orange become visible, which gives the leaves their autumn splendor.
Unfortunately, we cannot independently influence the brightness of the color of the leaves, and in gloomy rainy weather sometimes we are left without a golden autumn parade. The only thing that can be done is to plant plants with decorative fall foliage in the sunniest places, since in partial shade the bright color may not appear or be less intense.
Treecreeper - Certhia familiaris
The Eurasian treecreeper or common treecreeper (Certhia familiaris) is a small passerine bird also known in the British Isles, where it is the only living member of its genus, simply as treecreeper. It is similar to other treecreepers, and has a curved bill, patterned brown upperparts, whitish underparts, and long stiff tail feathers which help it creep up tree trunks. It can be most easily distinguished from the similar short-toed treecreeper, which shares much of its European range, by its different song.
The Eurasian treecreeper has nine or more subspecies which breed in different parts of its range in temperate Eurasia. This species is found in woodlands of all kinds, but where it overlaps with the short-toed treecreeper in western Europe it is more likely to be found in coniferous forests or at higher altitudes. It nests in tree crevices or behind bark flakes, and favours introduced giant sequoia as nest sites where they are available. The female typically lays five or six pink-speckled white eggs in the lined nest, but eggs and chicks are vulnerable to attack by woodpeckers and mammals, including squirrels.
The Eurasian treecreeper is insectivorous and climbs up tree trunks like a mouse, to search for insects which it picks from crevices in the bark with its fine curved bill. It then flies to the base of another tree with a distinctive erratic flight. This bird is solitary in winter, but may form communal roosts in cold weather.
Thanks to all who take the time to Comment/fav etc, it is always appreciated.
This beautiful photo "Sacred Bougny Tree" was taken with a SAMSUNG GALAXY A13 mobile phone. Enjoy the trees around you as they are sacred. In advance, Thank you for all your precious comments and faves with Gratitude, Love and Light!
Week 1 - First photo of my 2017 52 photo challenge. A snowy apple tree at the bottom of my driveway. This is the same tree as in my "Bad Apples" photo.

A tree pipit singing in the top of a tree in the Bill Smyllie field at Prestbury Hill nature reserve in Gloucestershire. This is the same bird that I uploaded a shot of a few days ago.
Swallows symbolize anything from good luck, safe travels, happiness, and positivity. They are very social and people-friendly.
Hello my amazing Flickr friends !
Today is a black and white day at Color my World Daily and we celebrate Sliders Sunday. Since I had so much fun taking pictures for the tree bark theme at Looking close on Friday, I decide to add one more photo on this subject. As you can see, this is a whole picture of my tree bark pencil. They are super cool as photo props but unfortunately, those are a pain in the a**ss to sharpen. The wood (honestly I don’t even know if those are made from real wood … or some kind of Chinese magic super resistant wood look alike plastic…) is super hard and I even tried to use an exacto knife and it was almost impossible to cut… However, my pencils are here to stay since they make such an awesome props.
Have a beautiful day ! Mucho, mucho amor for you all !!
FYI: because of my renovation project I have to, constantly, move our stuff from one room to another on a very short notice !! So once again, I have to apologize for not answering your comments… I will try to catch up very shortly but for the next few days I’m afraid I will be M.I.A. (missing in action) !!!
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and well!!

I'll never forget my first visit to a Second Life Christmas Tree Farm, last year. It was magical. Being here in beautiful Crisp Kringle@Frogmore, reminded me of that time.
