A glorious morning with hardly a cloud in the sky although a cold wind. Harry spent the morning planting three trees we bought recently...we have rather got a thing about trees at the moment & are very proud of our little wood we planted a couple of years ago.
This picture shows the wonderful colour of the Copper Beech trees ...no colour added only sharpened a little !
This afternoon it has returned to windy & wet weather !!!!
Lovely colour these trees with the sun on them. Good job Harry used some substantial staking posts, to protect them from the wind. We can never have too many trees, Nice shot.
What beautiful trees these are! Love their placement on the property ... so pretty with the lighting and the shadows. Is that Harry working back there? I'm sure that it was alot of work putting these in ... not an easy task. Love this photo.
Oh Copper Beech trees are so wonderful! The one in mum and dad's garden gives me great joy every time I go 'home'! Look forward to seeing it at the end of the week. http://365project.org/sarah19/365/2011-05-30

I love copper beech trees. Jim and I planted one in Upstae NY when we were married as a wedding tree. It died. Thankfully our marriage didn't. We replanted a different one and it is doing fine...but thy sure grow low. Lovely color and composition
@phil_howcroft Thank you Phil but I already tried that...I must be doing something wrong ! Will have to wait for Jack to finish his exams & get him to show me again !!!
@jgpittenger He he Jane that wasn't a good omen but thankfully all together still , a feat in it's self these days !! We have a very large wedding anniversary this year our selves !
I realise now that what I thought were young copper beech leaves in my photo yesterday must be ordinary beach leaves as these are really coppery already! Amazing colour especially backlit like this!
Glorious Pat - your own little patch of wooded area. Tim and I planted out a gorgeous "bush block" which we will be sad to leave when we sell. We love the trees and the bird life they attract. These are gorgeous coloured leaves.
