More lines. Trees in military formation. Taking it too far?

The Old Tree in the Back of My Garden
That’s the old cherry tree in the back of our garden (the one that Henry used to climb when he was little). It is really old and the cherries still look juicy but they don’t taste good anymore so we leave them for the birds. We don’t have a choice with the higher ones anyway because the branches don’t support a ladder anymore.
But it still makes for a glorious spring feeling each April.

I am apparently not the only one who likes the old tree.
Those Trees Are Taller than Me
There is no denying it.
Yesterday, the Cosmic Photo Challenge was about unusual angles and I posted some photos looking up. While I’m short I’m taking a lot of shots from below, I think, with trees I am not the only one. And it’s not the worst view of a tree.
What a beech!
Yesterday’s autumn picture were all of beeches. The forests around here are mixed forests but beeches are dominant. Many villages have “beech” (Buche) in their names: Seidenbuch, Buchklingen, Buchen, Reichenbuch, and others. They are a delight all year round, from spring to winter.

A Cat Comes Down a Tree
Not quite what I had planned but Henry insisted to take up Septimus’ challenge.
And incidentally, a bonus SixWordSaturday.
Just Add Some Colour
My tree yesterday was colourful in a patriotic way. Today, the colours are much more flamboyant. I’ve taken these photos at a light show in a park.

Unity, and Trees, and Freedom
Germany is one of the most densely forested countries in Europe with about a third of the land covered by trees. During the early 1980s the term “Waldsterben” was coined in Germany. The mainstream had started to take notice of the damage that forests were taking from acid rains. I remember at the time reading a French analysis about the fact that Germans seemed to be much more disturbed than other nations about this particular ecological disaster. Germans had a much more intimate and earnest relation to trees and woods, the article maintained.
Hence I thought it would be a good idea to start Becky’s July Squares with a very German tree: it is sporting the colours of the German flag: black, red, and gold.
