Thursday Trees

How quickly a week goes by! It's time once again to visit the temporary home of Mike's Thursday Trees - together with our Monday Mountains series, a chance to let the beauty of nature help settle our frazzled nerves. And so, without further ado, let's bring on the trees!

1 - I almost mistook this for a picture of myself early in the morning, before coffee ...

2 - a banyan tree ...

3 - a ginkgo tree in Korea ...

4 - a resident of the Great Basin National Park, Nevada ...

5 - this fellow is interesting, but anonymous ...

6 - moss-covered beeches, Dartmoor, England (for my friends in the UK) ...

7 - a very, very old olive tree, waiting to help grace new generations of martinis ...

8 - a red gum tree, from Australia (for my down-under friends) ...

9 - a Sitka spruce, from Alaska ...

and finally for this week, 

10 - apparently trying to escape ...

And that's it for this week's edition of Thursday Trees. Enjoy the beauty and the shade, before Der Furor wipes it all out with another royal decree executive order.

Have a good day and come back tomorrow for another collection of Great Moments in Editing and Signage ... more thoughts then.
