venerable tree

Spotted this amazing tree on my way down the lanes to buy roses...........it's girth must be 14 feet or more, think it could be an ash.........so in the pouring rain instead of grabbing an umbrella grab my camera...what is happening to me? ah, 365!!!!

Gorgeous - looks like an Ent :)

@boogie @tishpics @kmrtn6 sorry to be so ignorant but what is an Ent?!! It was an amazing tree, thank you for the comments!

[Andy Gibson]

I love trees!! Great Shot Fanny and I walk my dog in a forest with many fine examples like this one.

[Fanny Brogden]

@andysg Thanks Andy, it was incredible.....huge and still living which was the best thing, tight dark buds, is that ash? I think so!

[Pat Knowles]

I know someone @sabresun who would have see all sorts of faces in this shot ! Wonderful lumps & bumps, you could write a story about this tree !! It looks like it could be Ash & late coming into leaf so that fits !

[Patricia Fletcher]

@fannyb I remember seeing an ancient yew in the churchyard where the farmers market was when we came down to see you. Worth a shot?

[Fanny Brogden]

@happypat so it could be 'oak before ash' then!! @tishpics ah, will have to check that out, what a good memory you have !!!

[Sean O'Neill]

This tree looks very wise!! I have no idea what it is, I am not very wise!

[Fanny Brogden]

@seanoneill Oh I think you are!!

[Leslie]

Nice job Fanny! I swear this tree has starred in innumerable fairy tales. Like your take on processing as well.
