These trees really caught my driving through Herefordshire, the winter crop just starting to grow so fresh and green!
Trees, Blossom, Fruit, Berries and other Flora
This is the start of another collection, this time of Flora that we’ve come across on our many walks or visits across the country. Hope you will enjoy them as I did.
I have also started Spring early, it got a bit cold and I wanted to look forward to a warmer time.
I couldn't believe my luck when this cat decided to climb up this small snag and sit for a better view of the area. Amazingly some of the afternoon light was still shining through the trees and lit up this beauty for a few moments.

We got walloped with a huge snow storm and a foot of snow a few days ago - even the birds were taking shelter!

An eye-catching bird with ashy gray and lemon-yellow plumage, the Western Kingbird is a familiar summertime sight in open habitats across western North America. This large flycatcher sallies out to capture flying insects from conspicuous perches on trees or utility lines, flashing a black tail with white edges. Western Kingbirds are aggressive and will scold and chase intruders (including Red-tailed Hawks and American Kestrels) with a snapping bill and flared crimson feathers they normally keep hidden under their gray.
Western Kingbirds are fairly large flycatchers with large heads and broad shoulders. They have heavy, straight bills, long wings, and a medium-length, square-tipped tail.
Western Kingbirds are gray-headed birds with a yellow belly and a whitish chest and throat. The tail is black with white outer tail feathers that are especially conspicuous in flight.
Easily found perched upright on fences and utility lines, Western Kingbirds hawk insects from the air or fly out to pick prey from the ground. They ferociously defend their territories with wing-fluttering, highly vocal attacks. Vocalizations include long series of squeaky, bubbling calls as well as single, accented kip notes.
Western Kingbirds live in open habitats, where they perch on utility lines, fences, and trees. They prefer valleys and lowlands, including grasslands, deserts, sagebrush, agricultural fields, and open woodlands. They are typically found below about 7,000 feet in elevation.

Zauberbaum
Gesehen im Dortmunder Tierpark... Vielleicht kann mir ja jemand von Euch verraten, um welche Baumart es sich hierbei handelt. Bin nicht so der große Waldläufer und Bio ist auch schon 'ne Weile her... :o)

It seems the Rihanna Tree isn't photographed as much lately. Back in 2013 popstar Rihanna was forced to disrupt the video shoot for her hit single "We Found Love" in this field when she was told to put on more clothes by the land owner. So from then this tree has been known as "The Rihanna Tree"
This tree is located along The Rivers Trail, a network of walking paths on the banks of the North and South Thompson Rivers. It was kind of a surprising thing to find this carving as it must have involved several hours work and it's doubtful that it was sanctioned by the city. I do love it but I just hope it hasn't harmed the tree.
My take on the lone tree at Buttermere, It's shot to death but always nice to get your own take on an iconic location.
We headed down here on Sunday evening and although we were a little late for sunset we still got a bit of light hitting Fleetwith Pike.
