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!

Andy

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
