Lonesome tree

Splendida! Quercus ilex?

It's enebro in Spanish. juniper in English.

Juniperus comunis then!

Yes. I had to look that up!

Un arbre solitaire témoin d'une amitié entre vous deux *******
Bon Dimanche.

William,
Thank you all!

Toujours le cadrage top !
Bon dimanche

Merci beucoup! Thérése!

Lovely country to get to walk in. I have never see a tree but know of Juniper as small plants, have to do some digging for info.

Different varieties and sizes. I think they all produce useful berries.
Many thanks, Steve! I am hoping to get round to catching up on viewing members' galleries soon; I've simply been too busy of late!

A PEBBLE SLIDE !!

I LIKE PEBBLE SLIDES, ALTHOUGH THEY ARE NOT VERY GOOD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT, PAM IF TOO MANY PEOPLE DO THEM! BUT IT'S AN ILLUSION HERE, JUST A FEW LOOSE STONES!

un milieu aride , austère , mais beau

Oui, en effet, tu as raison, Daniele! Merci beaucoup et meilleurs voeux,
Andy

The solitary tree, always a great subject and no exception here in this fine composition Andy.

All the best, Doug

Many thanks, Doug!
Best wishes,
Andy

These solitaires are always spectacular ! Good Morning, Andy !

It makes you wonder what special advantage they have over their less successful siblings, Ulrich!
Thank you!

Fantastic shot of this Lonesome Tree. Set in a beautiful scenic landscape. Well done Andy Regards Tess

Pleased you like my lonely tree, Tess.
Very many thanks and best wishes,
Andy

Lovely composition. It must smell wonderful too.

There are so many competing smells that it is difficult to say, Jean! Lavender, rosemary, thyme and juniper have to compete with the powerful smell of the cistus, which often dominates everything..

Lonesome is often good :-))

nice find

magnifique, j aime beaucoup! Bon dimanche!

So beautiful, Andy. I understand completely about feeling familial affection for landmark trees and other things along normal walks. I don't know how you feel about these things but to me, trees are every bit as sentient as a human, it's only that they are totally different to us in such a vast way that we cannot truly understand them/vice-versa. I don't know if you are aware but trees and plants have auras just like we do, and if you cut a limb/leaf off of them and take a picture which can see the aura, it will show a ghost image of the limb/leaf until it fades away--exactly like us. Anyway, I really like your friend, what a beauty! :)

You wanted to know more about the namesake of the lake we stayed near at The Cove Palisades...here's your answer, along with a link! :D

Named after Billy Chinook, a Native American of the Wasco tribe who traveled with explorers John C. Frémont and Kit Carson in their 1843-4 iexpeditions.

I knew I had heard the name before, Janet I just wasn't sure where from but I was certain it was a native American of some renown.
Affinity with trees; yes I go along with your sentiment, if doubtful about the "science". But I talk to trees a lot and get vibes in return, sometimes along the lines of "oh for goodness sake go away and leave me alone" but occasionally more positive! :o)

I love lone tree shots.................and this one is just perfect mate!

A wonderful shot of this special place and tree, Andy!

A fantastic photo here - maybe it's a solitary tree, but it does have wonderful neighbours - the lavender and grasses
