Your bike in front of a nice/interesting tree

[Blue Hills]

Thanks biggs, respect to whichever farsighted soul planted it, and a wonderful spot. Have only ever seen things like that before in parks/estate gardens.

Strolling through a peaceful Victoria Tower Gardens I saw this rather handsome well proportioned tree.

Turns out it was planted by the Queen in 1977 to mark her jubilee/the apotheosis of Johnny Rotten.

Makes me a feel somewhat old as that's the year before I came to London and I imagine it was planted as a sapling.

Some sort of oak?

MBIFO a tree trunk that at some point was made to look like a miniature house, though time has made all the figures a bit scattered.

Sunshine and shade.

MBIFO a 2,000 year old Yew tree

Incredible. Where is it?
Somewhat doubtful about the info on the sign - phrases like "there can be little doubt that" always ring bells for me. Clearly very old tho - would love to see more info.the sign itself is a bit of a memorial to another age - very heavy religious preaching in it. And "true faith". Would be interested in who was behind all that - is it on church property?

MBIFO a Coronation Tree at Stanton, Staffordshire - been here for 2 world wars, Spanish flu and Covid 19 and it still looks good

I liked the colour of the blossom on this tree what ever it is.

Staffordshire......Faith, Hope and charity in the smallest park in the UK.
Not much room for a park run! 🏃🏃🏃🏽‍♀️

Is more than one tree allowed??!!

Strange place to find a clump of Monkey Puzzle trees, on top of Hergest Ridge, Kington, Herefordshire.

You can just see the bike in the middle...I hope.
