I took this for the wattle that is evident through the gates and then noticed the one behind it! This may be the reason, I'm sneezing and John's eyes are scratching.
When I looked at the picture, the tree trunk in front of the wattle stood out - a lovely silver birch!
@jankoos It is a tree, Jan sometimes called a thorn tree or an acacia. Has brilliant yellow flowers the come out all over the tree! The pollen flies from the flowers at times and can cause allergies if one is sensitive to it!
Lovely shot of the trees starting to spring forth even if it give you the sneezes. The gate was a perfect choice to frame the shot. In Alabama we get covered in pine pollen in our Spring. It sounds as if this is very similar.
@maggiemae - thanks Maggiemae - I seem to remember there being acacia trees in Cornwall - will have to google that. I bet they are pretty when they are in flower.
A beautiful entrance to someone's house & very tall & golden coloured trees...I don't think we have these trees in this country or if we do they have another name. Sound like they are full of pollen too if you are allergic to them.
