Christmas Tree

It stands in the corner to mark the passing of another year ... the snowman on the top is now 32 years old .. it was made by Lara, daughter, to mark the year that the book/animated film 'The Snowman' first came out.

Oak

This oak tree appeared in a blog post on 20 October but my interest in it at this time is because it still has many of its leaves on in spite of the weather and the wind and some of them even look green !

Balancing act ...

The cleverness of this greenfinch to balance on the very end of the very last twig  at the top of the tree reminds me of something ...

Not one of my shots but one by my friend Geoff taken while he was on holiday in the Borders. It is a tree that I have always loved ... it sits there in the hollow on Hadrian's Wall ... beautiful.

Vandalism ?

I spotted this tree across the playing fields of Churchill College, Cambridge and just wondered how long it had taken it to grow to this girth and just why someone would come and decapitate it like this ... and I felt sad ... for the tree.
