The black and white challenge this week is Trees so let’s go and visit my trees down here.
Some of the trees down here are really beautiful. This one is an Ash tree.
They can provide some impressive tree trunks.
I have heard recently that Ash Dieback has reached parts of Somerset, but not here; not yet!
Up here are some more trees.
Let’s go up here and have a look.
Don’t they look impressive against the sky. There are some impressive tree trunks up.
Of course, tree trunks don’t stay that forever.
Eventually rotting down to the ground.
Now I see from the title I am suppose to provide you with a leaf.
Lots of them up there, but I guess you want a close up.
Bye for now!

I am a tree lover and have always found beauty in their trunks. Thanks for the photos.

Hi, now you mention it I suppose it does although I am sure Treebeard was a trifle bigger than that. Thank you for commenting.

These work very well in black and white Chris. Makes a nice change from all the autumn colour.
