Smothered

This tree is overgrown with ivy and is just about alive. It’s been drastically cut back but I think the ivy has now taken over. It’s more noticeable in winter but it makes a nice winter subject. As you can see the day was grey dismal and very blustery but temps were a balmy 8c!!
Better on black

Thank you for all your lovely comments and favs all are appreciated and welcome

Lovely shot, I like how the line of clouds joins the line of ivy encircling the tree

Just enough light on the tree to make it the subject of the photo.
