Cracker from this morning.

 

Something I've not really noted before.

 

Tree shade & frost

Something that we tend to take for granted (as more often than not, its a client in search of more light)

but shade is one of natures most basic blessings & deserving of a little more celebration and a little less scorn.

 

Whether rural or urban, shade is a natural wonder.

 

"A man has made at least a start on discovering the meaning of human life when he plants shade trees under which he knows full well he will never sit. "

Hi David, and thank you for highlighting something often overlooked.

 

Am I right ("that's a first for AA Teccie did I hear you say?" ) in thinking in North America they often refer to what we would term 'amenity trees' as 'shade trees', thereby identifying a key personal and social benefit.

 

I guess at th eend of the day it all comes down to where you live, hence the UK population might take some convincing...in general.

 

Cheers again n hope you're well.

Grand cheers Paul

 

Wonder if our cousins from the more colder parts of the states still call them 'shade trees' ?

 

Shall have to go and ask now

David,

 

Avenue certainly looks better in full leaf. The actual condition of individual trees is pretty awful. Dog clawing damage, strimmers, lawnmowers, wind damage, poor pruning etc etc.

Needs some gaps filled but as a shady retreat, it certainly serves well to the minority of fully dressed Weegies unwilling to go bright red on days light this.

 

For reference, the Zebra doesn't live in Glasgow....De Woop Nature Reserve, S.A
