In profile

There is so much I want to photograph of this tree. I have to hold back and keep the ideas for the next days.

It was our daily walk up the lane, past, now named 'Mummy's favorite tree'. They wanted to take towels with them and dip their feet in the stream near Peter's Cottage. It was colder than they thought and dared each other to stay as long as possible with their feet in the water. The boys were making lots of noise and awkward body poses and facial expressions, apparently going through lots of pain. Roz just stood there, with a smug look on her face, arms crossed, not even wriggling her toes. Guess who was the winner. The boys were impressed with their little sister.

I love that you can still enjoy these precious family moments. And I love the close up of the knarled tree and all those converging 'wrinkles'

Ooomg... Looks like a King of the night from Game of Thrones

[Saxa van Eijnsbergen]

@olenadole yes, I saw a warrior/king too, glad you see it too :-)

[Nadiya Bilovodenko]

@overalvandaan you are wellcome, my friend

[Beryl Lloyd]

Yes there is definitely a gnarled face there with rather a large eye and straggly whisker chin . Brave children I can not imagine dipping my feet in water especially a cold running stream !

[Graeme Stevens]

Great spotting, very gnarled face

[Pyrrhula]

Mooie close up en details.

[Kathy]

Interesting textures. For some reason this reminds me of the hairy character on Star Wars. Fun story, too.

[Valerie Chesney]

Good on you Roz....this is great Saxa...is it what is called a "wood burl"?

[Newbank Lass]

I see a face too. Great spot. Go Roz!!

[KoalaGardens🐨]

you have chosen a great subject for sure :)

[Mek]

Wow

[Bep]

Geweldig!

[Dustyloup]

Such a personality!

[Saxa van Eijnsbergen]

@happysnaps yes, could be, but not sure, it seemed like there was once a branch there, but it might have broken (or cut) off.

A nice detail... look forward to seeing how else you photograph this tree this month!
