In praise of trees, your photos.

Very nice Dave, we went there the year before last. What I really wanted to achieve on this thread are the trees you see when out and about, if possible on your bike [bike in picture even better if possible] and current too so within a few days of taking them to reflect the time of year that way it is more of a challenge otherwise peeps can just trawl the internet for amazing tree pictures.

Unfortunately I'm not in the habit of taking pictures of tree's when I'm out on the bike, thats why I raided my photo albums.

And I'm not even out on the bike these days, so that's why my photo was a few years old!

But ... the next time I cycle past a nice-looking tree, I'll be sure to stop and take a picture of it!

Saw these trees on the way to work last week

Funnily enough I'm doing an exhibition about urban trees.

Wow. Amazing photos. I didn't realise I lived in such a beautiful country.

The photo of the tree is good but I think the Bluebells in the background are also excellent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thank you. Is that for the Scotland photos? I was born up there, and my childhood 'playground' is not that far (relatively) from where I beleive you are. Up there quite a lot including in 7 weeks time back up to Loch Rannoch where we have some friends who have great holiday cottages (which for us work out cheaper than campsites unless we camp wild the entire time!)

why thank you sir... you can't go wrong with bluebells in the background... or foreground.

I like this shot (and I darkened it a bit in Picasa, I have to admit) but I wish I'd got the whole tree in (top branches)
