How did beeches survive the Ice Age - and how did the serfs outwit the lord so hard that his castle had to be offered as the first prize of a lottery?

Beech entangled with another tree.

I love how beeches like to dance with each other and with other trees.

I have always loved that many beeches keep their leaves during winter and then are pushed out gently by new buds come spring. #Beeches

The next post will be all about STRESS FACTORS, so here a photo for a brief stress-release-breathing meditation.

I revisited this damaged tree today, but couldn’t find out anything else.
I’d be interested in other examples.

Young snail inspecting an eye-shaped area on the trunk of a beech.
A rare sight at the moment: a young snail out & about.
I met it on Monday on a long walk through the forests here on Usedom.

Main forest track splits into two. One leads to a simple forest pavilion, the other to a wilder area of the forest. Autumn leaves.

THE SNAIL TREE
One of the things that intrigued me from the start was that these snails carry their shell in all sorts of positions: on top, hanging sideways or with the pointy end to the front.

TODAY’S LOVERS
The rain seems to invigorate the door snails. I saw two pairs on two beeches, today.

Massive roots of a group of four or five beeches.
I love how some beeches join together at the roots & stems, and become these massive giants.
Too often we’re told of competition in nature when in fact so much is connected, and actually drives on diversity & on the input from many.

Welcome back….💚 Once again you’ve been transported far away from the oppressive heat…You’ve returned to the cooling shelter created by a latticework of interwoven branches and the bright green, oval leaves of beech trees overhead. No matter your situation, health, mobility - or lack thereof - you have the magic within you to be transported to this quiet, beautiful world of Nature’s kindest shade. Close your eyes and you are here: feeling soft grass beneath you and the cool, sweet, green breath of these broad, welcoming wonders. We have it on good authority - and here We quote, credit and Thank @nowaykgn.bsky.social “A study from urban forestry research indicates that large shade trees, such as beeches, can reduce air temperature by 6–15°F (3.3–8.3°C) under their canopies, compared to unshaded areas during peak summer heat.” That is the Science…But now that you’re here, you discover it’s True, for you are instantly refreshed, feeling so much better beneath this wondrous, green umbrella. Relax…stay as long as you want. These beeches are for everyone seeking respite from the heat…yet it’s never crowded… Always peaceful…You are safe here, where songbirds hidden amidst the fine branches serenade you. Lie back on the soft grass if you wish…and drift along in the gentlest of dreams…sheltered, cooled…comforted in Nature’s loving embrace… ~✍️with Love🍃~tamisar💞

Beech avenue in spring before the leaves have appeared
This is my favourite part of Grovely Wood - 2 miles of beech avenue escorting a former Roman road
It completely captivated me - an inexplicable sense of the old trees acting as sentinels, waiting, watching and bearing witness

Snow! On our walk between Tuddenham and Herringswell, which are also separated by this gorgeous, characterful row of Beeches.
