#thicktrunktuesday

Mein Freund, der Baum,
kahl steht er da, seiner Blätter beraubt.
Doch bald mein Freund, man glaubt es kaum,
sieht er aus wie neu, ist frisch belaubt.

Il commence à "pleuvoir" des pétales... alors vite encore une photo de cette beauté éphémère!

It has started to "rain" petals... then quick, another photo of this ephemere beauty!

Une photo de vendredi pour ce #Photomonday (c'est mon côté "esprit de contrariété" qui s'exprime) avec un magnolia flanqué d'un forsythia, deux beautés assez éphémères.

Magnolia and Forsythia are two ephemere beauties. A photo taken last Friday for this #PhotoMonday (Note my "spirit of annoyance" expressing itself here ).

Le quartier de la gare a souvent mauvaise presse. Celui de Saint-Mard, est certes, très diversifié en terme de population et c'est bien ainsi et en plus il est joliment orné d'arbres qui offre un spectacle, sans doute moins fabuleux que le Japon mais pour nous, c'est déjà quelque chose au printemps! Et puis, l'avenue Bouvier qui va de la gare au centre de Virton n'était-elle pas surnommée les Champs Elysées de Virton. C'est à peine exagéré!

Railway station districts have often bad reputation. In ours live all kind of people and it is very good so and it looks very nice, especially in spring when the trees are blooming. Certainly not as fabulous as it is in Japan but for us, it's already something. In the past, the Avenue Bouvier which goes from the railway station to the center of Virton war nicknamed the "Champs Elysées" Virton. Well, let us dream about it!

Acer Cappadocicum, caucasian maple, Botanical Gardens, Sheffield, last week.
And I didn't see the 'face' when taking the photo!

Tree of the Year awards

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c20dd6yk55yo

300 year old Polish beech tree wins for the fourth time. The photo in the article is beautiful.

Last night's sunset was gorgeous. Happy #ThickTrunkThursday to those who celebrate!

On a walk around the cemetery, I found a tree that fell over. A handsome brute! This stonky fella has been around since the industrial revolution. The authorities don't cut down stonkers unless they're a danger to life, so I'm guessing it was sick.

I tried taking a chonk home for a rustic, natural seat in the garden. Alas, 'twas much heft.

Красиво обкорнали тополя!

Midday light on the trees was meh, so I decided to go monochrome and focus on close up textures
