Willow

This lovely weeping willow looks like she is trying to keep her skirts out of the River Foss.

Winter Trees

Much as I enjoy seeing trees in full leaf there is something very attractive about their stark winter silhouettes. These three rooks look very much at home here.

Large Leaves

Not from the world tree but my goodness me the leaves seem extra large this autumn, and so many berries everywhere.

Rowan

Rowan trees in the UK are covered in berries this year, how about in your part of the world?

New Clothes for Summer

This little tree, surrounded by dogwood stems, was the star performer in a city centre garden I visited recently, the beautiful peeling bark outshining the early flowers in bloom.

A Close Shave

Walked into one of my favourite York courtyards this week, usually a shady haven from the sun under the London Plane Trees, and this was the sight that greeted me. Mad pollarding or a chance to see the beautiful buildings of Greys Court as they have not been seen for years? Tell me what you think

Autumn Swansong

This strikingly coloured Mountain Ash is growing in a boarded up courtyard, formerly part of York Hospital nurses homes. The area is scheduled for redevelopment and I suspect, although I hope I am wrong, that this may be the final autumn for this lovely tree.
