Who needs fencing when you have trees and hedges. I walked right up to that gate and still couldn't see the whole of the house.

I thought of cropping this photo so you could see the beauty of the tree close-up but the reason I actually snapped the photo was because the tree was an oasis in that field on a dry unusually HOT Spring day in Scotland.

Shade

It's brutally hot here today, and muggy, so I'm desperate for some cool shade. The weather was the same the day I shot this picture in Dunfermline.  That little trickle of water was cold.

Dunfermline

I really like the size and stature of this tree. Except on the day we met, I was trying to recreate an artist's sketch of the abbey that we have at home. There isn't a tree in the rendering.

There is in my version. I actually prefer it but not that day 

Dunfermline

I really enjoyed the play of light through the leaves.  This path was between Pittencrieff Park and the train station. I could have spent the entire day there in among the trees. It was incredibly peaceful.

Dunfermline

This beauty was also by the abbey.  She was so tall and majestic one imagined her guarding Gaelic  kings

Beech and Maple

These two trees beside a crypt at Dunfermline Abbey intrigued me with their many contrasts.
