Cherry blossoms at Belmont Plateau
Nearly in full bloom this morning. I should be stopping by every day to capture their peak blossoms

A cherry trees with many branches with full bloom. There are several cherry trees in the background standing on the vivid green lawn along the road.

#ThickTrunkTuesday

At Belmont Plateau - full of energy

A thick tree with many branches stands against a blue sky in the background. Its trunk is covered in ivy. The tree is located on a vivid green lawn along a road with traffic. Cherry blossoms are also visible in the background.

Nice to make a quick stop on the way to work

Several cherry trees in full bloom stand on a vivid green lawn, glowing under the morning sun

It's only Tuesday, but I'm already beat. I need power from Kengo and nature.

Passed this today, on another lovely long walk..

An old oak that has set up home in an older lime kiln, built into the slope of Cregiau Eglwyseg to produce material for local agricultural needs, out of the lime from the local quarries. In the front there is an arched stoke hole for the furnace

A circular furnace about 4m high, made of large cut stone boulders, built into a steep grassy slope, and from which a large oak, leafless for the season, against bright blue skies

Greetings from #Pasadena
#ThickTrunkTuesday during #DogWalk this morning
Cool & windy in the Denas atm

Coast live oak with enornous trunk, planted in a parkway with the street on the left and sidewalk on the right. At the bottom of the photo is a golden retriever, slightly right of the tree. Other vegetation in the background and also a yellow "DIP" sign on the parkway, to the right of the tree.

Branches on this tree were going all the way across to the other side of the street.

A tree in Savannah Georgia - looking up at the long curving branches which arced all the way across to the other side of this residential street.

Late afternoon

The silhouette of a tall tree with bare branches against a sky with clouds. The sun is directly behind the tree.

some highlights for #ThickTrunkTuesday

in front of a waterfall, a moss-covered tree root hovers about six inches over a flowing creek - likely the creek eroded the dirt beneath the roots, and the upper branches of neighboring trees kept the thing suspended in place

the inside bit of some peeled tree bark with two horizontal holes in the center, from which radiate many lines of termite eating through the bark in an almost calligraphic style

$a fractured end of a log that appears to have been cut more with an axe than a chainsaw, with a dappled black and brown pattern over its surface, and moss on the far bark$

a number of degraded partially skeletal maple leaves lay over a patchy brown jigsaw-barked tree trunk

Tall photo. #mosstodon #ThickTrunkTuesday

An old and very gnarly tree trunk on a lake shore. It has no leaves yet but the trunk is covered in luxuriant green moss and, part way up, a clump of ferns, arched leaves drooping downwards. The tree is leaning to the right towards the lake and there are some other trees behind making a tangle of branches. It is a grey rather misty day.

Gnarly old tree often seen while walking. Think it's an Oak. Several nice old oaks and black walnuts on either side of the road here

Large gnarly looking tree with ridged bark and several burls on it.

Keep looking up!

Upward view of several fall trees, as seen from the base. The blue sky behind them accents the colors of the leaves, showing layers of deep red and orange.

Tar Hollow State Park

Taken 8 May 2024

A fallen tree with a thick trunk runs horizontally over a dirt trail through the forest. It is high enough in the air that it looks like many people could walk underneath without ducking. To the left of the trail is another fallen tree trunk of similar size, but it has been sawed off to make room for the trail. The forest is lush with deciduous leaves. This part of the forest is open to the sun, and the fallen branch casts a parallel shadow across the trail. In the distance, another fallen trunk lies on the ground, this one also cut to make room for the trail.

A photo from a winter many years ago of a young boy standing next to what, above eye level, looks like an ordinary tree. Below that is the snarl of roots the tree has developed over the years in order to live on top of the granite slab its little seed once fell upon and sprouted. Roots, large and small, head off in all directions in search of nutrients and something to hold onto. There’s a light cover of snow on the forest floor and some of the roots.

Rather a sad picture for #ThickTrunkTuesday but just shows the strength of the winter storms. On my walk last Friday I saw many fallen trees in the upland valleys - it looked like the winds had been funnelled. Most lifted at the roots but this one (oak?) was shattered. Maybe it already had a weakness, I don’t know.

Photo of a large tree (possibly oak) that has been brought down by storms. It lies shattered in a field, the mossy trunk splintered. In the background is a conifer plantation on a hillside. A whole swathe of trees flattened like matchsticks. In front of the plantation is a small river lined with broadleaf trees, some of these have also been downed or have lost branches. The sky is blue with white clouds.

Going to have to take some Claratyne tonight before bed I think - the perils of lawn mowing has got me. I’m very stuffed up, damnit.
I had an awesome swim this afternoon, but I miscounted my laps & was 200m short of 2km. Not unhappy though as I’ve done quite a bit today & I’m feeling pretty tired.
I did feel a little flat after I got home, stewing on my little online spat yesterday, but I’m feeling ok now that I’ve thought it through & I’ve decided I’m off for a riverwalk tomorrow to keep my head straight.
Here’s another couple of pictures from my trip to Melbourne on Saturday from outside the Royal Exhibition Building. I think one of the photos is a great candidate for #ThickTrunkTuesday.
I’m saying g’nite - talk tomorrow . Have a great evening everyone.
