Mistletoe (No Wine)

The Autumn shedding of leaves on the trees around my offices in Cheltenham, have revealed the abundandcy of the parasite, Mistletoe, feasting on the trees water and nutrients.
I know it's loved at Christmass (and Cliff sang a cheesy song about it) but it will eventually kill these trees if something isn't done about it.

Love the monochrome with blue effect. Welcome back to Blighty!

What a lot of mistletoe in one tree this amount will certainly sap the tree of all its goodness and eventually kill it !

Nice silhouette. Clouds look as if they are a gathering!

Atmospheric photo...bit of blue and gathering clouds. Such shame mistletoe is slowly sucking the life out of these trees...hate that song by the way! .
