The Kissing Tree!

Un beau titre et une belle capture de ce bel arbre ******
J'ai lu l'explication sur votre page, un texte émouvant et plein de courage. Encore une fois, sincères condoléances, Maggs.
je vous souhaite une bonne semaine !

Merci beaucoup Henri, ça me fait plaisir. Merci également pour vos mots de condoléances.

Lovely. So the tree wouldn't mind if I kissed it? ;-)

Edna, I really don't know tree policy on humans kissing them, it might be considered sexual assault, so I'd err on the side of caution and leaf it out!
Mistletoe's morals however are something else: individual balls positively encourage unsuspecting humans to kiss just to satisfy their own rampant desire for voyeurism!!

I've never seen a tree with so much on it. Gorse is more reliable the saying is that 'kissing has to stop when it's not in bloom' it flowers for most of the year !!!!

Sounds all right to me ;-))

Marvelous pair! Stay well!

You too William

beautiful!
Have a nice day

Have a great week Annemarie

A very interesting tree here, even in this poor light. So that is what mistletoe looks like on trees. I have seen scenes like this before but never thought of mistletoe. Glad to hear your health is getting better. I like this frame. Well done

Thanks for sharing with our UK Landscape Photography Group , Herb

I've never seen so much mistletoe as here.

What an impressive tree; well captured.

Cheers Jaap

I love the shape of this tree Maggie...............and it looks lovely covered in mistletoe. Despite the grey sky, the light is still quite lovely and has brought out some nice detail and colours.

I definitely wouldn't advise kissing the trees though as the fruit, leaves and stems of mistletoe are all poisonous............keep the kissing under it, not on it :-)))

I love the close up shot in the PiP.......there really is a lot isn't there?

The G6 is still a cracking little camera, one of my friends used to use one. My wife has a Panasonic FZ100 which she hardly uses (and which I'm planning to steal)!

Good to have you back and in good spirits.

Glad you like it Keith.

Don't steal the FZ - just hang on to it and call it a long term loan! I can't afford to update the G6 but it's done, and is still doing, okay for me. I like having a choice of lenses again!

Ein Baum für Liebende, Maggs.
Sehr schön mit den Misteln.
Schöne Grüße und einen guten Abend
Erich

Vielen Dank Erich

A fine looking tree already dressed for Christmas, I surprised the Mistletoe hasn't been harvested for the festive season, An excellent capture Maggs
I have an FZ 72 which I seldom use!

Glad you liked it Roger.
Nobody seemed to do any mistletoe harvesting round here last Xmas, I was really surprised.

misletou bladeren drogen en fijn malen als thee tegen hoge bloeddruk werkt
