Taken at the main mere in Ellesmere. I love the natural tunnel formed by the trees and the colour gradient from brown to green to grey
The giant ancient Sweet Chestnut has a trunk circumference of 9.55m and is surrounded by its fallen deadwood. The trunk is wide with the bark spiralling up the trunk, full of burrs and nodules.
This is part of a row of ancient giant sweet chestnut trees in the beautiful grounds of Croft Castle in Herefordshire. This avenue of chestnuts is about 1km long and called Sweet Chestnut Avenue (for obvious reasons). Many of these trees are now dead or dying due to Ink disease (Phytophthora cinnamomi) which will eventually take most of the trees in this avenue due to the intermingling of the roots. The only hope is that some of these trees will develop resistance to the disease. The National Trust, who look after the property, has a tendency to leave fallen deadwood as it is of benefit to the wider community of nature.
The parkland has a very large number of these ancient sweet chestnuts. It is thought that most of these trees are about 400 years old, which ties in with the story that the chestnuts were taken from the ships of the defeated Spanish Armada. Never let the truth get in the way of a good story.
Lodgepole Pines in the geothermal areas of Yellowstone soak up minerals turning parts of the trunk white and petrified... hence they call them the bobby socks trees.
Viewed through a heavy flurry of snow pellets (also called graupel), the trees on the far side of the lake (most of them still holding onto their leaves) assume a ghostly appearance.
This particular snowstorm on March 9, 2023 were all taken from the comfort inside my home! It was a particular nasty snowstorm. So glad I was able to capture it.

"I can't remember, was I supposed to eat the mushroom and spider legs, before or after I boil them?..."
It was a nice funeral.

Yesterday morning a fog bank was moving on and off shore along the South shore of Lake Ontario in Grimsby, Ontario. That, combined with an opportunity to capture Fall colours had me wandering around Grimsby Beach, among the ‘Painted Ladies’ (a cluster of Victorian era gingerbread cottages painted in brilliant colours). Behind the cottages, along the shore of Lake Ontario, is a small cliff and at the top of the cliff are a line of trees holding the cliff together. On several of the trees, vines have taken over but in this case only a solitary vine of Virginia Creeper has started to take over. As luck would have it, the fog had pretty much obscured any other tree cover beyond the subject tree. The result is a simple composition in black and red. And, of course, Red Rule applies. - JW

My 6 year old grandson, Ellis, took this photo with my cell phone this morning. I like Mary's observation that it looks like an elephant's foot. The tiny bits of ice was put there by Ellis, from a small mound of ice on the sidewalk.
Thanks for visiting, enjoy each day
Reputedly 400 years old
Located on Calle Amargura, it was erected between the 15th and 16th centuries. This building has Gothic and Renaissance elements.
Its main façade follows the typology of most Cáceres palaces, with granite masonry highlighting the semi-circular arched doorway, large voussoirs reaching to the ground , a large image of Carvajal’s coat of arms framed in an alfiz, and a corner balcony under a pointed arch.
Inside the house, there is a rectangular cloister with arcades on columns.
Its twelfth-century round tower made of rough ashlars also stands out. At its base you will find the palace chapel, decorated with some interesting frescoes.
Recommendations: You must visit the garden, with a spectacular fig tree--a clear example of the interior green spaces that can be found today in these buildings in the Historic Centre.
