Growing, growing, growing

There's a tree farm on my drive to work.  These are my favourites.  They're standing straight and proud, quietly growing.

Nesting tree...

 

The leaves drop, outing the summer squatters. There have been three fat nests in this maple each year since this tree reached the age of majority.

Rock out, summer squatters. See you next year.

Cheers!

Ready for winter...

This tree has pretty much shed her leaves. She doesn't seem to mind. Yesterday, I found her stretching her branches toward the autumn sun.

Ready for winter.

Cheers!

These apple trees are still going strong midway through November.

Don't you just want to take a bite?

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?"

Marching along...

Oh, the color! A beautiful curve of trees in a local cemetery. Marching along.

Tree of Education

She who must be the Tree of Education. It's only fitting. I found her on the University of Prince Edward Island, aka UPEI, while touring there in September.  Look at that branch span.

I'm too sexy for my trunk, to sexy for my...

All I can think of is tree toes when I look at this close up. Enter here to get an education.

Cheers!
