TREE FOLLOWING - June 2015

In January I introduced two trees that grow locally and spoke about how I am following them during the year. If you read my previous posts you will know that I am behind schedule and making attempt to catch up. So before I post this months photos I am going to quickly add JUNE!! I can then have the satisfaction of being back up to date.

THE LONDON PLANE.....

The ivy continues to reach up. I thought the bark patterns would mark it's growth but I'm finding it harder than I expected. I am wishing I had measured it. 

The violets continue to rest after their months of flowering.

 

The branches overhead fight for space among the trees that grow either side.

And I notice small prickly seeds growing, they hang like dangly earrings.



THE OAK.....

I thought these leaves would have dropped now....  but no they still hold on.

This visit there was a new surprise... a cob web glistening in the sunshine.  This spider won't go hungry!



 The field crop is growing well....   


 And despite the ripped branches, there is new growth.

And overhead quite a canopy is forming....

 

 
Summer looks like it might be on its way......
