I keep meaning to post this on #ThickTrunkThursday or is it #TreeThursday? At any rate, this tree with its trunk split 5 ways graces the lawn on a corner of Ravenna Neighborhood
#Photography #SeattleWashington #SeattleSummer #Trees

A really tall cedar tree has a trunk split into 5 just above ground level. You can't see the tree top, but the trunks are rough, red and gray. They're close enough together You can barely see the house behind them through the trunks. The lawn in front of the house is spacious and bordered with graceful evergreen and birch trees. The early morning light is dappled with shade on the sidewalk under the cedar.

When I touch a tree my spirit drinks from a well of of slow and deliberate vitality. I feel the strength of the roots that sink, splitting stone and holding the earth together. Resilience in the trunk that weathers storms. Grace in the branches that sway in the breeze. Vitality that will not stop for lightning or fire or death itself, for trees are teeming with life even after they fall. This is true strength, not dominance or conquest, but silently, unfailingly, nurturing life.

Yours truly looking diminutive standing at the base of a massive old redwood tree with arms outstretched.

A cluster of thick and tall tree trunks rise up together from the same root base on a forest hillside. They are all covered in rich pillowy moss.

#ThickTrunkThursday no it’s _Teeth_Trunk Thursday! Arborea Dentata. These are the inside ends of branches where the trunk heart wood decayed and eroded away faster than the branches.

Several large sharply pointed wooden spikes stick inwards toward each other, like fangs, in the otherwise empty center of an old tree trunk that is mostly gone. Not quite empty—there is a spiderweb.

Moin,
manchmal wünschte ich, Bäume könnten sprechen, erzählen von früheren Zeiten, als die Welt noch nicht total verrückt geworden war.
Wie alt mag wohl diese Eiche sein, 300 Jahre ?
Wie mag es früher hier ausgesehen haben ?

I was sitting on this porch in a 200 year old house in #SalemMA and I was marveling at the #ThickTrunkThursday specimen in the next yard. That tree has witnessed a lot of things.

Also, some lace from the tour. #Malta

And a nearly perfect dogwood at the right #bloomscrolling moment today.

A federalist 3 story old white house in Salem MA is in the background. In the yard between that house and the porch I'm sitting on is a set of trees and other greenery. To the right side is one massive trunked specimen that leaves the base and then splits into two more trunks that are more like the size of normal tree trunks. It goes out of the top of the photo above the height of the 3 story house adjacent to it.

An eye-shaped white doily made out of bobbin lace sits on a dark wood side table in an old house. It has the word M A L T A spelled out in the center in lace. It has concentric ovals with different stitches around the rest of it.

It was probably 8 inches from top to bottom on the Malta direction. Maybe a foot side-to-side.

A close up of a dogwood tree in abundant and perfect bloom. 4 petal white flowers surrounded by the shades of green in the sun-dappled leaves.

#ThickTrunkThursday #Squirrel #Iowa #Trees

We’re here in Creston, Iowa, trying to burn 3 or 4 hours while the car is in the shop.

We came across this massive silver maple while walking over to the farm store. (Fox squirrels added for scale.)

The trunk of a very wide silver maple tree. The gray bark is checked and cracked. One squirrel is clinging to the right side of tree. Another is higher up just to the left of center.

The root base of a giant old tree lies exposed to the air after it fell some time ago. The long wood grain stretches are like powerful sinews. It is covered in different kinds of moss, resembling fine fur and a shaggy mop top, and surrounded by ferns.

In a vividly verdant forest, a pair of mighty tall and broad tree trunks climb up from a shared root base. Their bark has a rough deep texture. Both are caked with thick pads of moss clustered irregularly around the bark.

In der Eiche

Die Fotografin steht unter den ausladenden Ästen einer großen, alten Eiche auf einer saftigen grünen Wiese mit dem Rücken zum Baumstamm, sodass der Eindruck entsteht , in einer Art Höhle zu sein. Durch die üppig leuchtend grün belaubten Äste, die von oben, rechts und links bis fast auf die Erde ins Bild ragen, ist ein heller Himmel zu sehen.

The photographer is standing under the overhanging branches of a large, old oak tree on a lush green meadow with her back to the tree trunk, giving the impression of being in a kind of cave. A bright sky can be seen through the lush green, leafy branches that protrude into the picture from above, right and left.

Dieselbe Szene aus einer leicht anderen Perspektive. Zwei etwas schmalere Äste ragen von rechts oberhalb ins Bild und hängen bis fast zum Boden hinab. Laubwerk und Wiese scheinen in ihrer Üppigkeit nahezu miteinander zu verschmelzen.

The same scene from a slightly different perspective. Two somewhat narrower branches protrude into the picture from the top right and hang down almost to the ground. The lush foliage and meadow almost seem to merge together.

Derselbe Baum, wieder eine andere Perspektive. Diesmal hängen drei etwas schmalere, üppig belaubte Äste so von oben und rechts ins Bild, dass ein kleines Loch entsteht, das den Blick auf die dahinter liegende, helle Wiese frei gibt.

The same tree, another perspective. This time, three somewhat narrower, lushly leafy branches hang into the picture from above and to the right in such a way that a small hole is created, revealing a view of the light-coloured meadow behind.

Looking up a tall birch tree, the roughness and details in its white bark are clearly seen. The faded out of focus treetops and sky can also be seen.

A big English cream retriever stands proudly in front of a very broad and tall fir tree on a mountainside, with clear sky peeking behind the treetops.

#ThickTrunkThursday

Darby Creek, PA

Felt like a natural stop sign
I had a feeling I shouldn’t go any farther
So, instead of continuing along Darby Creek, I chose to follow Little Darby Creek, which joins it just downstream from here

A small stream flows through a rocky patch of bright green forest. A slender fallen tree lies across the water like a barricade, as if warning me not to go any further.

Back in Chesterfield, Derbyshire, UK to check out the reopened Royal Oak pub (which had six delicious cask ales on offer) but couldn't resist a photo of the parish church with its incredible crooked spire and two beautiful red flowered horse chestnut trees in the foreground.
