The Wild Trees by Richard Preston

 Finally got a copy of a book I heard about ages ago in a blog, and which I linked here.

Damaged Willows

 Saw a few of these damaged Crack Willows the other day, (Salix x fragilis), quite a shame to see them like this, though being Willow they will soon spring back.

In fact there were a few trees where branches had bent or broken into the river and had produce new sprouts.

Looking up an Ash tree

 Taken in woods nearby, looking straight up with the ultra wide zoom on my "new" old Canon 5D

Leaning Locust and a lumpy cherry

 Spotted near the cemetery, a big Locust with a bit of a lean!


And a cherry with some gnarly bark!

An evening with big trees

 Took an early evening walk and spotted some big trees.

2 Ash trees, one damaged, then an Elm, and 2 nice tall Black Poplars
