Bumbling Browse

Today - armed with our new camera I set off - turning right outside our lane to see what trees I could recognise.  Thought I'd have a trial run with camera & labelling!!  So far not quite so good as I thought. I recognised the little clutches of trees & some of the big ones but then couldn't recall their names - even though we were just looking at some last week in my book.  Ooh dear - blame it on the weather lol.  So for now I'll upload the photographs but will leave the recognition til later.  Please - any help is greatly appreciated :) 
This wonderfully curly bush in on the road on route to the meadow :)
The bark looks full of ladies faces :)
Tree tops :) 
 The path between seems to help separate the tree types :)  How  lovely is that!!
There are some Ancient Woodland areas too which I will visit. Everyday I will try to use the dog walk to head off in a different direction so to identify where certain trees are. What fun, our little dog will be most pleased :) Great excuse to dawdle through the woodlands with my camera. 
This trunk seemed to be made up in circles :). the bark had lots & lots of lines round the bark.
 This was one huge beautiful tree with lots of trunks. 
 This lovely old tree looked entwined, swaddled & wrapped in love :)
 This was a beautifully undulating trunk
This one almost looks as if it split down,  growing into a picnic & viewing chair to allow lots of adults & children to climb up & play on :)
Aw poor tree, looks like the horses have stripped & eaten some of the bark? You can see many teeth mark upon the tree. Bless.
 This looked a wonderful cluster of medusa roots & regrowth at the base of a huge trunk
 Some panoramic trees which line one of the meadows where we sometimes walk through with our little dog.
Naturally the whole area & skyline looks so very different once all the leaves are fully grown. I will enjoy taking photographs of each wonderful Season.

  2. Thank you for your kind & lovely words. Trees do seem to have a character all of their own don't they :). Today we saw so many other wonderful specimens & gorgeous new growth & buds. Unfortunately I must've put the sd card in the wrong way or something as the camera wouldn't work, but didn't have to time to stop to sort the problem out. Always tomorrow :)

For now, it is just so cool to see all these wonderful shapes, textures, and natural designs! Awesome job capturing the "mood" of these trees! Wish I could be there to walk with you! xoxoxo

  4. Such stunning photos! I love the one with the many entwined trunks the best - I could see lots of people hugging each other and the tree :-)

  5. Hello Dear Hedgewitch, Bless you - thank you for your lovely kind words. Yes absolutely I could see there were lots of lovers', lots of huggers & lots of entwining. I loved it too. Please, take a peek at the photo's in our garden, the Love Affair post. Amusingly, I tried a different setting on my new camera. Its called magic took a photie of a few of the trees which all clump together. I'd already described them in a previous posting as feeling as if they dance together. I was amazed that the magic photograph when uploaded onto the laptop seems to show the trees as separate dancers.. dancing !! :D See if you can see them too. :) Could you see the many many faces of old fashioned ladies, modern ladies, pretty ladies etc on the bark :) lol Nature is so wonderful & energy truly amazing :) Thank you again, nice to meet you.
