  1. I knew that's what you meant . The leaves are exeptionally big and what is actually a common species stumped most of us, apart from one particular smartarse
  2. Interesting. It goes to show how most of us rely on taking in information about the whole tree when it comes to idents, rather than focussing on one particular detail. Beech ain't exactly rare and that totally threw me
  3. Never mind the hair - what are you doing with your other hand to get that look on your face?!?
  4. I saw it on BBC news this morning and it's soooo funny Thanks for the link. I was searching for it on t'net to be able to post it on.
  5. You'll be saying next that you didn't know about strawberry trees?! The leaf looks the right kinda size and shape for a couple of magnolia species, but it doesn't look like it's got the right "texture" to me though.
  6. Where and when are you going to be exhibiting? Your work looks stunning in the photos and I'm sure it looks and feels as even better up close.
  7. I hate touchpads too, so my solution is to.... Not use it . Why do you want to deactivate it? Just plug a mouse in any Bob's yer uncle. No more anoying, sticky, unresponsive touchpad issues.
  8. Hmmm, they look like they'll be a bit slippery in the rain. Sorry if I've just dashed the emerging love affair
  9. What an eejit I've known far too many aggressive, inconsiderate riders like that who are stupid enough to think that an ability to ride fast is the same as being a good rider. And of course, it's always someone else's fault when they get taken out. Pah! Sorry, mini rant over
  10. Hahaha, was you allowed out unaccompnied?
  11. Congratulations to you Rob :thumbup: I'm really happy for you and it's good that there's one more learned person in the arb' world. Smartarse!
  12. You're such a voyeur! Is no moth safe from you perving?
  13. I know I suffer terribly with Reynaulds and anything that can keep my hands warm, dry and help to ease the pain is well worth it to me though. It's not as if I have to use them (the gloves) much these days
  14. These are very expensive but are well worth it. They are about the best all round gloves I've used and are reasonably hard wearing. Buy Gold Leaf Winter Touch Gloves
  15. On a Hypericum? More great shots from you geoff They're a nice set of pics of that Marbled white, Matt. Are you still out surveying?
  16. I don't think it is a sport. The rest of the leaves proximal to the ones shown are green and so are the more apical ones. Even if it was a hightly valuable sport I wouldn't have a hope in hell's chance of finding it again anyway.
  17. Yeah, I know It was a sapling I saw earlier today and I wrote the text without looking at the pics and refreshing my memory! So, well done for spotting the deliberate mistake and pointing out it is actually a cerris.
  18. What would cause this not unattractive variagation in a Quercus robur? It was only a few leaves affected out of the entire sapling so I don't think it's a true "sport" and the area it was in means there was no chance that it was pesticide damage. Viral damage, pehaps? Dog wee, even???
  19. Ah gwan, give us a hint
  20. Have you got any more pics? One of the whole tree would be helpful. Opposite or alternate leaves? What are the buds like? Smooth bark? Blah blah blah.
  21. I'm chuffed with this as it's my first one Female Purple Hairstreak (Neozephyrus quercus) It's either very newly emerged and hasn't pumped it's wings properly and been knocked out of the canopy or it has been damaged in some way as it's very unusual to see it on the ground.
  22. Another vote for Persian ironwood.
  23. I'd love to be that fit. I'm ridiculously over pleased with myself when I can manage a just few door frame pull-ups these days.
  24. I know a certain Ted Green who would argue that.
  25. Have you been practising that catalogue pose or does it just come naturally to you?
