Today I just thought I would share a few pictures of my favourite tree in it's spring colours.
It's a lovely old oak tree , growing up through the hedgerow.
I love it's shape ......
Here is the same tree from the other direction....
I think it's the way the branches twist and turn that particularly appeals to me , though it's not that clear in the photos.....
I tried to take a close up of the newly emerging leaves but this is as close as I could get, it's a wonderful, impressive, solid tree .I hope to enjoy it , changing with the seasons ,for many years to come

Sometimes natures beauty gives the best pleasure to us, your favourite tree is certainly magnificent.
ReplyDeleteHello Jacquie,
ReplyDeleteIf only they could talk ...that's what I often say. They would tell us so much.
Its a quiet moment to be able to admire nature -something we we need,don't you think?
Excellent post and magnificent tree.
Amanda :-)
Such beauty, nothing man made/woman made can compare.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad that someone else has a favourite tree! Your Oak is amazing!

I just love trees. They have such presence and history. Your oak is beautiful. Lily. xxx
ReplyDeleteI love trees, too. They are so tall and a home for many birds and other animals. And in autumn when it's windy they stand and don't break down. I hope you know what I mean.

tree's are so beautiful- all through the seasons they come to life and transform- beautiful ;0)
ReplyDeletep.s i loved your post about the books- i think you may have deleted while i tried to comment, but i too had those books as a child and loved them, still do ;0)x
Trees have to be one of my most favourite things in nature Jacquie, I love a good forest I do,oh the silence and smell of a pine forest is my favourite. Thanks for your previous post and tutorial, you are just one crochet genius xox Happy week ahead to you and yours x Penelope
ReplyDeleteI think all your photos are fab. Oh if only I could crochet.
ReplyDeleteWhat a treat it's been to have a catch up on your recent posts. The crocheting lesson was so well done, I imagine that you've inspired quite a few projects. The tree in this post is magnificent! It would be a joy to draw or paint it. And that leads to to compliment your mom's painting that captures a very particular place.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the Yorkshire views. I must get back there some day. xo
That's a lovely tree Jacquie, it looks so old, it would be a good tree to hug!
ReplyDeleteQue espetáculo, linda , linda.
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing tree, such solidity and strength emanate out of that trunk and twisting branches. I can understand why it would be your favourite!
ReplyDeleteThat is an impressive tree! Just think about how old it is, too. All the things it's seen...
ReplyDeleteIt is really gorgious tree... wonderful shape... we have almost the same infront of our weekend cottage... more than 100 years old... amazing tree... I love it too... have a nice day! LenkaH.
ReplyDeleteThis tree is beautiful. It reminds me of a huge oak that stood yards from our house as I grew up. About 17 years ago it was condemed and pulled down in order to build houses. Very convenient for the builders - I'm convinced it would have out-lasted all of us if left alone :-( My great-auntie passed away under that tree on her way home from a chapel meeting in 1978 and it held many memories for me, mostly good.

I Love Your Tree!!! Thank you for sharing it with us.. Looks like a Home for all kind of creatures. Real and other wise. ( hey I believe in faires and such, call me silly ) :)
ReplyDeleteI adore oak trees and the twisty turny branches! x
ReplyDeleteThat is some tree! It's magnificent. And it must look equally wonderful in the autumn.
ReplyDeleteI really love oak trees. We had a beautiful one in our garden as a child and we are now fortunate enough to have a lovely big one in our garden now. I love watching it go through all the seasons.
ReplyDeleteThanks for popping by my blog and leaving a lovely comment. :) It was a slog, but I got there in the end!

Hi Jacquie!
ReplyDeleteThat is one of the most beautiful trees that I have seen! I also have a favourite tree - a gum tree (I'm in Australia) that's on the side of one of the country roads on my way home from work. It always looks beautiful, regardless of the time of year. I think it's the strong trunk and beautifully shapes branches. Getting to the tree is a signal to me to "switch off" from work and try not to think about it until the next day. It usually works!
I love your blog - thank you for posting!
Emma
That is a beautiful tree Jacquie!
ReplyDeleteLove your daisy granny squres, they look so bright and cheery!Might give it a go when I find some white wool!
Hope you are enjoying the fabulous sunshine!

Jacquie- how wonderfully, incredibly beautiful your tree is. Thank you so much for sharing it with us. It is all the prettier because you stopped to really look at it, and we are all the more blessed because we came along on this little walk with you! Your blog inspires me with every post, so much in fact, that I have begun my own feeble attempt at a blog...picking blogspot.com because I wanted to be in such good company as yourself! And one of my first posts was to name my favorite five blogs which I always make a priority to read...and you dear of course are right there. love and prayers ~ Cara Louise (http://carashandcraftedcrochet.blogspot.com/)
