Hope to get back with something better, I know where the pics are waiting, I just need to get there in the right weather conditions. My ISP is also having problems and I'm back on a dodgy dial up at the moment, by heck it's slow and sometimes non-existent.

I am so excited, my 2nd, 3rd and 4th choices got in! How cool is that! My first choice was Steves 'Tree with a View', those colours. But I wondered if you would be allowed to pick two entries by the same person so just in case I picked 4. So Steve, are the judges allowed to pick two entries from one person? I also really liked the tree in the cemetary. Struggling with what to do for the next comp though, plenty of great ideas but finding the opportunities to capture them is going to be very difficult indeed. Still, excellent challenge.

Here is what would have been my second entry if I had had the opportunity to get back there and photograph it again in the allocated time frame but I really wanted to show it as it is my favourite tree.

 

This is a Golden Elm which has been beautifully pruned to have just the one trunk as traditionally these trees have several trunks emanating at ground level and do not look this magnificent. They take a minimum of 30 years to reach full maturity. I absolutely love these trees and am so disheartened to see almost all of them trying to grow in crowded spots being terribly mutated by surrounding trees. If given the space to grow to their full potential they develop this most exquisite bulbous 'mushroom' shape. I have one planted in my front yard which is 4 years old now and if anything has gotten smaller!, I need to find a book or get the appropriate advice to be able to prune it to grow into a superfine exhibit such as this one. I mean, I don't even know if trees grow from the bottom or from the top!? Doh!! Anyway, just wanted to show you this beautiful tree and am very disappointed that I could not enter it in the comp.
