Things in trees

Cactus growing in a tree. This is growing at my friend's cottage. Her house had the volunteer photo last week.  I like that she doesn't weed her trees. I like that it's even an issue.

Tree in tree

This discarded wee Christmas tree got wedged in the larger tree by the wind...and it was stuck up there for a good long while.  I don't think it was still there when I moved back to the US.

Sideways

This should really be Theresa's post. She's the one who mentioned a whole separate blog about things in trees. Apparently, it was quite common in Edinburgh to see the oddest things, a traffic cone for example, up a tree.

This is a sight I encounter on my drive to work.

Just in case you cannot believe your eyes, here's a close-up of the ladder, sideways, in the tree.  I hope to catch someone on it at some point so I can ask, "What the hell were you thinking?"

Not just a tree

I just couldn't resist showing at least some wildlife.

Colorful...leaves?

Not what you typically find in trees in the US.

Look closely

So maybe the tree wasn't my primary goal in taking this picture.
