Cherry tree behind the house.
Yes, I forgot to prune that one and it is totally in the power line. Luckily that last leg of power line is insulated cable.
Discovered we had more cherry trees than we thought - there's another big one behind the barn.
The Japanese walnut is quite exuberant this spring. Here's hoping we can grab some of the walnuts before the squirrels do!
This #tree in the #park across the road in #Edinburgh
Two blossoms in one cherry and plum
Grafted together maybe
But awesome however it came to be

This season is coming to an end and so our little camp will do this Saturday. When we leave, this site is being shut down until March as fishing season is being superseded by late Autumn and Winter. Until then, the change of seasons (and weather) is still something that amazes you each morning when waking up despite of the current weather conditions.

Ombo is an island in the municipality of Stavanger in Rogaland county, Norway. The 57.5-square-kilometre (22.2 sq mi) island is the largest island in the Ryfylke region and the second largest island in Rogaland county.
After the road was built around the island of Ombo, a distinctive rock formation was visible from the new road. The rock formation looks like a face, and was originally named Adam. Among the local residents, this is also called "Ombo-gubben" so we had to visit it while driving over the island.

This hawthorn tree is well ahead of the rest. In full bloom and has the most wonderful scent. An animal pungency? (Crataegus monogyna).
Uplifting owl news!
Tree trimmers down the street are packing up after finding a barn owl with babies in the dead tree.
Mommy owl glared at them as they removed everything above her nesting hole.
Last year, a local biologist moved an owl nest with babies into another tree, but the babies fell out.
At that point, they put lots of nesting material into a large trash can placed sideways on the ground. This was protected backyard, and the humans living there

"What Keeps Me Standing"
A lone, lifeless tree standing on a hill silhouetted against a fading sky. Surrounded by the dark heavy clouds, it still stretches upwards. Towards a dream perhaps. Or a purpose. Something just out of sight, but just enough to hold on.
