I went on a drive into the Fresno foothills today with my daughter. We had a great time seeing all the green grass on the hills and the start of the wild flowers. The fiddlenecks haves started to bloom and are the flower seen in the picture. I was hoping with all the rain we would see the poppies on the hillsides, but we only saw a few on this trip. We should see thousands of them on the hillsides in a couple of weeks.
According to ecologists the king of the savannah is the termite. Their mounds are architectural marvels and they play a very important function in the ecosystem. Termite activity elevates levels of nutrients such as phosphorous and nitrogen which enhance plant growth.
Have a Tree-mendous Tuesday, everyone!

In the beauty, among the trees
Face caressed by the summer breeze
Hear the birds sing in the skies
See the clouds, float past your eyes
Walk between the spreading trees
Feel the lovely summer breeze
That falls upon your waiting face
As past you, beauty it does race
I love the colours of Maple trees in Autumn, they are so varied. These grow by Oxford station. I took this photograph just as they had started to turn colour late one afternoon in September with the light behind them.

On a walk by lake Windermere this little tree caught my eye. Thought it looked sharming and it reminds me of trees from some old fairy tale. Therefor, I've added some muted toning. All I want now is to add a rabbit under the tree :-)
My friend's home has a rubber plantation... rows and rows of rubber trees... this one is always spiked my interest... it looked like it had arms spread out to the heavens with it's face upturned in a silent scream...
Trying to break free of worldly bonds???
We had this little hike up to a little mountain, the weather was quite misty and rainy. As we reached the top, we were completely wet, but it was fun anyway. And the weather gives you opportunities to make shots like this one.
Please give me a fave if you like it, thank you!

SAMOĆA by Mika Antić
Svoju snagu prepoznaceš po tome
koliko si u stanju
da izdržiš samoću.
Dzinovske zvezde samuju
na ivicama svemira.
Sitne i zbunjene
sabijaju se u galaksije.
Seme sekvoje bira čistine
sa mnogo sunca, uragana i vazduha.
Seme paprati zavlači se u prašume.
Orao nikada nije imao potrebu
da se upozna sa nekim drugim orlom.
Mravi su izmislili narode.
Svoju snagu prepoznaćeš po tome
koliko si u stanju
da prebrodiš trenutak
jer trenutak je tezi
i strašniji i duži
od vremena i večnosti.
I've noticed Mistletoe growing increasingly in UK trees, so I read up about it and learnt that it's due in part to an influx of continental blackcaps from Germany that have started overwintering in Britain, with many thousands now spending their winters here.
'Blackcaps are migratory warblers that are becoming regular winter visitors to our bird tables. Berries, including those of mistletoe, are an essential part of their diet. On eating the white flesh of the mistletoe berry, the birds wipe their bills on twigs and branches, leaving behind the seed. If the seed is deposited on a host tree and manages to take hold, a mistletoe plant might germinate on the branch. It seems that blackcaps are more efficient at spreading mistletoe seeds than other birds, such as the mistle thrush, which also feed on the berries.' - www.woodlandtrust.org.uk/blog/2018/12/where-does-mistleto....
'According to the Anglo-Saxons, kissing under the mistletoe was connected to the legend of Freya, Norse Goddess of love, beauty and fertility. According to legend, a man had to kiss any young girl who, without realizing it, found herself accidentally under a sprig of mistletoe hanging from the ceiling.' www.thewhitegoddess.co.uk/articles/mythology_folklore/mis....

Spotted this gigantic tree along the HuandaoLu of Xiamen Island.
Don't know what is its name and how old it is, but just impressed by its size and its shape. It's AWESOME!
(Since the earthquake near Taiwan on 26.12.2006, this is the first time I'm able to visit this site and view my own picutures.)
Happy New Year to all of you. May year 2007 bring good luck, peace and happiness to our world.

Tony was born in Bohemia in 1873. He was a very capable entrepreneur and politician in the USA. In 1931 he was elected mayor of Chicago. He got to Al Capone jail!! The assassination of the US President Rooswelt was hit by a shot. He died of the wounds in Miami on March 6, 1933. He was Czech, who was grateful to America. He was grateful for her democracy and a decent standard of living. He wanted America better without a mafia. The shot from an idiot from Italy (Giuseppe Zangara) interrupted his dreams. Forever!

Thanks for your votes and comments. I'm very happy to see the response to this picture.
It's been a few warm days lately. So when the cold came back, the snow and tree branches crytalized giving a fantastic light effect. Because of the strong light I had to make a HDR out of it to catch some of the magic.

Revisited a concept I have worked with before to generate an image for Me Again Monday - thinking this would fit with the wilderness theme. I am also entering it as 32 of 115 made of wood.
A dead tree near the footpath that runs beside Little Moreton Hall, Cheshire.
Although if you stare at it long enough (as in trying to get the contrast right) then more and more , it feels as if most of the branches are pointing south! ......, Toward the Black Country ! 😀😊
Deep in the Forest, this golden beech tree stood out like a beacon. I love the way the vertical lines of other trees intersect it.
This tree has a beautiful crown. Has been longing to shoot it and found this corner in Endau, with a building just behind it to contrast against the tree crown.
A troll is a class of being described in Norse and Scandinavian mythology and folklore. They dwell in isolated areas in trees, rocks, mountains or caves.
This photography depicts the curious and interesting marking and carvings on the trunk of the tree exactly as they were seen in their natural state.
