These reminded me of elephant legs.
The vertical parts are part of the trunk, not just a bunch of sticks propped against the tree.
What kid wouldnt be tempted to climb this tree?
The Fever Tree … one of my favorites here. Very yellow all over, and altogether, a nice shape..
A lot of the trees here are rather scrappy and laden with thorns (indeed, I think some are just grossly overgrown bushes). Many others, however, are rather interesting. I will be happy to get home to our oaks, maples, dogwoods, and maybe even the pines, but in the meantime I will continue to enjoy the variety of trees around me.
omg, that tree does look like an elephant leg, so enjoying your blogs!
