A Tree for All Seasons

[David Humphries]

Nothing new here, but I had the chance to shoot the fine old Oak in post 1, from a different angle today.

 

A birds eye perspective is a blessing, we Arbs are a lucky few.

 

 

The scaffolding above the Bandstand is there to install a weather vein for the upcoming jubilee, I nipped up to get some shots of the surrounding landscape.

Its a fine line sometimes regarding resurecting old threads, as they're more than often 'done to death'

 

but new members should be given the oportunity to see some of the older 'stuff' imho

 

Thanks Andrew

This must have been a monster Pop in its day before it was violently cut down in its prime by a storm.

 

Shots don't do it justice.

No, I'll be sure to take my little helpers along next time.

They were sadly otherwise engaged with their teachers today

had enough of the heat now.

 

Would be great if tomorrow turned out to be like it was when we worked on these two veteran wild service trees back in March

 

Last shot was this morning.

No way David, that day was f'ing freezing. I have never been in London and been that cold. Maybe with Scotland's new climate I've turned into a jesse. Proper cold chills that visit.
