[Theme] Trees

[Lars Hansen]

Here's a quite thorny Ceiba Chodatii (Hassl.) Ravenna
(young kids need to be careful climbing up this one)

That's a special tree, Colin - if not careful first time, then probably no next time

Amazing character!  A fallen old big tree?

Indeed !   A willow?

Thanks Akira and John - yes, I believe it's a Willow. See Fons' reply in this same thread, Reply #87 where I posted some similar twisted trees by the lake.

Here is the tree seen from the side - fallen into the water and still alive and setting vertical branches. A shot with its leaves - looks like Willow(?)

Thanks Colin and Akira

Lovely spring light on the second one Lars

Here's a tree that has avoided damage from the road builders in Malaga

Another day, another city, some different trees

It seems all the Jacaranda trees in Southern Spain are in bloom in May.
The ground underneath them is carpeted in purple and the air is sweet with their aroma.
It's beautiful to see the squares in Malaga and Jerez lined with them

Buttress roots.

Meanwhile those buttress roots are moody and sinuous Anthony

Boot Tree

In my hometown, the Municipality lends small lots of land to retired people to grow vegetables and the like.

People leave their work boots hanging upside-down to the tree, so they don't get filled with rain.

I love it Massimo
- Both that the Municipality is sensible enough
- and also the rain protection technique

(a really nice fished image from the Larch forest too)
