Hello #treesky
My lil red bud that was planted in winter 2024 is blooming beautifully into #Spring
π€©π€©π€©πππ this is what I see from my office window
#treesky
A dirt track, harshly lit by bright sunshine, disappears into a pine tree forest. Dark shadows of trunks and branches cross cross the surface.
#silentsunday Into the woods, lovely dark and deep.
#landscape #forest #treesky
View of distant hills and the roof of a house, between the twisted trunks of oak trees lining a ridge. Tiny young bright green leaves are just unfolding on the oaks, acid green in colour.
Same view in landscape, ten years later. The view across a river valley, the distant hills, and the young oak leaves just uncurling on the branches of the oaks. The difference is time - 4 weeks earlier in the year.
Looking back in my photos for cherry blossom to illustrate season creep.. But these oaks illustrate it nicely.
Same view. 10yrs apart.
2010: 28 May
2020: 24th April
This year ??? tbc. The cherries are blossoming alarmingly early though.

View across a river valley in late winter. Green pines cover the far side hills. Bare branches reach across the blue sky from all sides of the photo, stretching towards the centre like grasping fingers.
#silentsunday The trees do not forget.
Their branches draw across the sky.
To write their memories, in a long forgotten language.
(The branch tips are 300+ yr old beeches lining the River Rd - the few left.
There's something incredibly sentient / uncanny abt them..)
#landscape #treesky #niceview
A bare winter forest of young beech trees, tall thin and leggy against a pale sky. The ground is thickly covered with rust red brown leaves from last year, the few peeps of green are noss and tiny pine saplings. A small track winds downhill on the left. The contours of hills can be seen through the trees.
#silentsunday On the edge of Spring.
(On the top of one hill, looking across the river valley)
There are some buds and spring bulbs in people gardens already, but nothing in the woods..

Cedar trees are so pretty. I had no idea what they looked like until I moved recently. Look at that trunk. #treesky
If a real, cut, Christmas Tree π is used during the festivities, what better place for it to end up?
I suspect we could do a lot more of this around our countryβs coastline.
#treesky
A bare winter oak tree stands in a field of dead brown grass, in strong sunlight. The sky is deep powder blue with little fluffy white clouds. A line of bare trees on the horizon marks the edge of the field, one green pine tree standing on its own on the left.
A wolf dog with brown and whit masked fur lies in profile on a field of flat dead grass. A line of bare brown oak trees behind. Her head is turned facing the camera, pointed triangle ears flipped outwards listening.
#mondog Spring arrived for one day and we went hiking.

View of a line of green pine trees, with blue sky and fluffy clouds above. A bare branch reaches from top left - a delicate mass of thin dark lines across the sky. Scruffy overgrown brown grasses and green broom plants grow in the foreground, alone with one small beech tree, it's dead brown leaves still clinging to the twigs.

So the forecast was wrong, and yesterday was pretty nice out

Autumn coloured leaves of an oak tree in January against a winter background. Some of the leaves are still green. The rest range from salmon to deep orange to apricot. Some behind are tossed up fro the wind. The street behind is snowy. There are black dried coneflower seedheads below and tall bare trees in the background.

View down a tree tunnel: a leaf strewn lane, bordered either side by tall leggy trees, the remains of extremely overgrown hedgerows that originally lined the lane. The trees meet overhead, casting a deep gloom over the path.
#photooftheday Tree Tunnel.
This is an old lane I walked past hundreds of times, without realising it was there (totally overgrown).
The council finally cleared it few yrs ago, for a cross country marathon.
(Just found out we're on the Tour de France route this year!!)

Buying this tree was an excellent decision- itβs gorgeous in every season! #JanuArty2026 #purchase #CrabappleTree #VT #TreeSky #EastCoastKin

There are actually two trees, one behind the other. I will post leaves from it next.

I couldnβt resist capturing these views with my phone as I donβt move with my professional camera when going for walks. Am in love with them.
