Saturday Photo Hunt - Wooden



To participate in the Hunt, please go here.


Looking through my albums for inspiration I find that I have a 'thing' for tree trunks:










A very, very, very, very old olive tree in Madeira







Horse Chestnut at Stourhead





Trees in a park near Whistler, Vancouver, Canada







Grandson Thomas standing in a VERY tall tree trunk, near Whistler, Vancouver, Canada

Brilliant Chris! Love the trees, very imaginative and of course natural!

Last year, these appeared on the old blog which you may have seen?

With tree trunks like these, who wouldn't be! I can't figure out how come you have those fascinating trunks in England and we don't seem to. I am so envious!

Lovely trees! That's a really weird one in picture 5!

You have managed to capture some really amazing tree trunks there, I especially love the Horse Chestnut, it looks like fingers curling round the trunk.

Those are some truly unique tree trunks. I believe I, too, may have a thing for trunks.
