Where the ivy grows...

It had to have started here with a seed a bird left behind. Now it's climbing up an old water oak tree.

A fabulous capture of the ivy-covered tree. The dappled light gives a mysterious feel and the Fall colors are great. I love it Mags!

I hope the tree survives and the ivy doesn’t spread

A beautiful scene.

[KWind]

Great find and shot!

[Shutterbug]

I love how the tree is painted in lichen and decorated with the ivy.

[Bucktree]

Fabulous light on the ivy.

[Babs]

Ivy and lichen what a beautiful combination

[Diana]

It looks fabulous and the light is just perfect!

[Kathy A]

I love seeing ivy growing up trees. Lovely light

[Wylie]

that does look a little creepy as it takes over!

[Susan Wakely]

Lovely to see but I always think that it is going to choke the tree.

[Dione Giorgio]

Very nice. Isn't nature beautiful?

[Mags]

@dkellogg Thank you so much, David.

@onewing Thank you, Babs.

@ludwigsdiana Thank you very much, Diana.

@kjarn Thank you, Kathy.

@wakelys Thank you, Susan. It will get yanked. Something for the yard helpers to pull.

@pusspup LOL! Just a vine to be yanked. It's not quite as polite as the Carolina jasmine vines.

@sangwann Thank you, Dione.

[Phil Howcroft]

nice one mags , I wonder how long it will take to cover the trunk

[Mags]

@phil_howcroft Thank you very much, Phil. It won't happen. It will get yanked next time the yard helpers come. Not harmful to the tree right now, but if left to grow - it will be.
